[War-Horse]

I wonder if "Gear" is allowed in Heaven gym.

[Bluto]

[BroadStreetBruiser]

I doubt you'd need gear in heaven. I mean you have to consider all the shitty physiques through history.

He was a "True" pioneer in the iron game

He definitely was ahead of his time!  Check out his site:

This passage stuck out to me:
"I eventually realized the vast level of overtraining that even HEAVY DUTY was creating in advanced trainers with extremely efficient neuromuscular pathways.  In these unique, highly trained individuals, even most abbreviated, high intensity training programs may be too much.  For these individuals, I've developed a highly advanced form of Heavy Duty.  It involves the use of just two exercises, performed at opposite ends of the calender year.  One all out set of Nautilus pull-overs, completed to failure, along with forced reps in early May, and one all out set of Nautilus Leg Press, completed to failure, with 1/4 reps to positive failure in early December."

Mike found out that life was essentially over training him so he died.

[The_Iron_Disciple]

Definitely one of my Favorite Bodybuilders ! Was the first person, really, to spark my interest in Philosophy ( to be a little more specific, Rand and Nietzsche ) ... R.I.P Mike.

[nodeal]

mentzers hit training is somewhat effective in gaining size but certainly not functional strength. an interesting routine though. worth doing every now and then to switch things up.

[Bodies]

Being reborn in another body. Several religions, including Hinduism, believe that the human spirit returns to Earth in different forms again and again as it strives for perfection.
