I've just read this thread from start to finish and I end up here an enlightened man. I was inspired, motivated, entertained, amused, educated, and slightly abused by the haters, who don't appreciate Mike because of their total lack of intellectual capability. girls.

Bluto is a saint. Here's a Mentzer fan who's dedicated! The memory of Mike will NEVER die here at Getbig! When I reach the appropriate age, I will join you and the rest of the world as one of the mustache people! In Mike's great memory, no doubt.

Mike Menzter is a legend. A quirky genius with a body that was a chiseled masterpiece, who developed unorthodox training methods, which may or not work well, depending on the individual. But Mike was a blessed man, both physically and mentally.

MIKE MENTZER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My ultimate bodybuilding goal is to be Mike Mentzer!

i recall you ragging big time on the guy and his methods in the training section after you had experimented with some of his methods for a short while.

Very low key ;) Right or wrong in his philosophies on training he did start a new revolution that modified how bb trained.
the greatest contribution to training and the only person with a complete theory to bodybuilding training.

that's all very nice but hold up a bit.

mike mentzer didn't come up with the theory of brevity and high intensity. he was a disciple of arthur jones and simply copied the jones ideology verbatim.

Mike, a student of Ayn Rand and  the Objectivism theory. 

Passionate supporter of all things high-intensity, Jack Daniels, nicotine and amphetamines.

R.I.P.

And also, would put a needle in his butt from time to time.

P.S   A hater of Arnold and high volume!

he was so far ahead of his time that he killed himself prematurely so that he can be reincarnated into a body with hopes of having better genetics and less a gut.

I remember after a guest posing in 97 Nasser El Sonbaty said that Dan Duchaine had a bunch of notes and papers that Mentzer had given him.  They supposedly detailed some ridiculously cutting edge "experiments" Mentzer was trying on himself.  Now that both Mentzers are dead, I guess no one will ever know what they said.

he was a meth addicted nut.

Mike was incredibly intelligent but I'm not so sure bodybuilding can be debated in terms of the philosophy of objectivism as he contested so passionately.

Here is an EXCELLENT DVD if you want to see Mike's intelligence shine though.  It's too bad that meth took control of him, as many drugs do to those not strong enough to fight them.

DVD REVIEW:

http://www.bodybuildingpro.com/mikeandraymentzerinthegymdvd.html

I just skimmed over that review and found this comment from Mike:

Quote
He said that young people are out spending time snorting coke and partying and not picking up one of her [Ayn Rand's] books.

As a meth addict when he was alive, he really shouldn't have been coming down on the drug problems of others.  :-\
