X2. There's a reason why a Mentzer discussion goes on forever. Not many bbers had such an impact as he did.

Yes, because not many people have their, and their twin's, total mental breakdown, at a relatively young age, captured on video. The Mentzers went out like total train wrecks. If they were two relatively normal old men peddling their bro-science BS, nobody would care.

I think I'm of average intelligence.

Then why should we listen to you and take anything you say seriously?

Rich will outlive the Mentzers by a long time.

I'm just a bored jackass who is estranged from his children - like everyone else posting on this site right now.

the reason people still care about mentzer is because he looks like a action figure and people obsessing over bodybuilding are still 12 years old mentally

Is that why you are an active participant on this thread?

Given that both of them are dead, that is not too difficult a task for even Piano to achieve.  'n' sheit.

Back on topic.  Mentzer was far above average in intelligence for a bodybuilder.  Don't believe that?  Just listen to the 8 time SchmOelympia wiener Ronaldo Coleman. His level of mindless meanderings are just slightly below that of idiots like Cutler and the Phildo "the boy with no clavicles" Heath to name but two.

What a maroon is Piana the pincushion. 

Zane makes them look like single cell fooktards.  Oh wait!!  They are.

Outside of Arnold, Mike Mentzer is the most talked about bodybuilder ever. At his peak he was making insane money for the time. When I was a teen he was first breaking on the scene. Since I ate up everything Arthur Jones wrote I was more than intrigued with everything that Mentzer wrote. I use to tear out everything he wrote and kept it in a file. I still might have the most complete Mike Mentzer collection of his writings anywhere.

Do I still believe super low sets and training to failure for every set to be the magical road to bodybuilding nivarna. No, I don't.  It is a tool like many in the bodybuilding tool box.  In bodybuilding we don't have facts. We have theories. You can't argue a theory is a fact. If we had facts we would all be training exactly alike in terms of sets, frequency and exercise selection.

Interesting how you took this from a discussion that stayed mostly on target. Freud would have had a field day with you.

Look on any bodybuilding board. If Mentzer comes up it's a long thread.

Yeah because of his zealots who fluff up his training philosophies and defend it tooth & nail. Heavy Duty works for some people , not most. He's the textbook definition of overrated , Won only 1 pro contest.

19th and that's a gift

Of course not. All your opinions and comments about Mentzer is proof of your indifference. Gotcha.

HAHAHAHHAHHAAA!  That's absolutely correct!  In fact, I can confirm that Rich is just about* to rebrand and launch the latest addition to his 5% product range (see pic below)

And just like all the other products that are available from him, this carries the Rich Piana No-Sh1t Promise:

"No Motherf**king African-American ingredients in this Motherf**ker - and that's guaran-f**kin-teed!"




*Available from about Mid-May
