Mike Mentzer was a genius

[joswift]

But what did she say?

His ideas of her 'racism' might be his own interpretation.

Everyones racist

Which race would you rather be and why?

If you answer that you are by definition a racist.

[AFetlifeFanatic]

people just really fucking suck

The only thing stopping total chaos is the fear of consequence, once we lose that, its all over as a species.

If there are no consequences for your actions society will crumble.
Given the choice most people will do the wrong thing, we are inherently bad.

no kidding.

I'm mainly waiting for the stories and skeletons on Arnold to all drop when HE dies and lets see how HIS over the top fans like it

I'm going to use that.

Finding the volume level your body can handle and then doing that consistently for years > any fad routine. Every person has a different genetic make up, so there is no best routine.

Learning to listen to your body is the way to avoid injuries and keep from burning out.

Well said.....

Is it true that Arnold called Mentzer “pee breath” backstage which made him instantly flip out? Pretty classless for Arnie to out him like that in front of his fellow thonged colleagues

"You know what I'm going to do when I get to Sydney? I'm going to take Mentzer's cup of piss and I'm going to hide it. Yeah, mess his mind up a little."- Arnold, probably.

Lmao!

I know you’re hiding that garage door clicker. Just to mess his mind up a little!

Imagine if Arnold pissed in a cup and threw it at Mike? I don’t know if he’d like that or throw fists

If not Western European, probably East Asian (except mainland Chinese).

That is something that a 7th grader would say. Arnold was insecure.

Champions like Frank Zane, Lee Haney, Larry Scott, and Dorian Yates were able to win Olympia titles without all the name-calling and “psychological warfare”.

[AFetlifeFanatic]

fuck arnold. He'll never be as good as sergio oliva

cheers for arnolds verbal warrior to draw assault and battery skills because he is a fucking bully who has to sabotage competitors

sorry but he is WAY overdue for being on the receiving end of ostracizing

I wouldn't turn my back on Arnold within 500 yards.

[Rmj11]

More laughable so called "training" from mentzer's number 1 ball sucker John Little.

[Royalty]

I wouldn't turn my back on Arnold within 500 yards.

I need to know what Matty was pondering at this exact moment

Arnold wasn't insecure. He just threw off the competition. Nothing wrong in that as it is a competition after all. Psyching out your opponents is done in many contests. So what?

[Rmj11]

Why? You afraid of him?

Sergio was overrated.

Arnold was never a bully. He was doing what many competitors do in contests. Psyche out the opponents. Boxers do it all the time. Nothing wrong with it as it makes it all the more interesting.

[Rmj11]

I need to know what Matty was pondering at this exact moment

That Lou was going to lose and Matty was going to have to give his son another good hiding for not living up to Matty's unrealistic expectations. Poor Matty.

[Rmj11]

no kidding.

There won't be. Us so called "over the top" fans already know about Arnold. There's nothing shocking in what he has accomplished. What did mentzer accomplish again? 🤔

Nope.

[Rmj11]

50 years of hit and not one top champion uses it. No elite natural trainer uses it. No serious trainer uses it.

Dorian Yates used conventional methods to build 99% of his mass, not hit.

Mentzer did high volume most of the time. John Terilli trained with mentzer and saw him do 25 sets for the back alone.

The only guys who keep promoting this hit guff are those with financial interests in selling this fad. Here's a few of these charlatans who promote hit as the best way to train and yet they look unremarkable.

Drew Baye, chunky out of shape.
Doug McGuff, average where's the beef
Ellington Darden, skinny no muscle
Clarence Bass, looks like he trained in Auschwitz and he even took roids. Lol.

[Rmj11]

John Little (appropriate surname), mentzer's nut hugging no 1 fan that hilariously once claimed you can train once every 6 months and still get strong.

If mentzer was a genius (he obviously wasn't) then why hasn't hit worked for any of these nitwits?

[joswift]

If not Western European, probably East Asian (except mainland Chinese).

so you think one or more races are superior to others, hence your choice

By definition that makes you a racist

[Rambone]

Skip LaCour finally looks natty here

Ha, I remember when Mike tried to go on MFW (misc.fitness.weights, an early no-holds-barred newsgroup) back around 25 years ago. He didn't meltdown hard, but it was non-stop piss questions. He even got asked about it in Ironman Magazine -

"TS: Dan wrote that you were involved in some things regarding amphetamine abuse and drinking your own urine.

MM: [Chuckles] I don't know where he got that one. How would anyone know I drank urine?

TS: I don't know, but a lot of people believed it.

MM: Yes, a lot of people like to see celebrated figures come down a notch or two because their own self-esteem is not very high. They gain a sense of self-esteem when they can say, Look, I'm not like that; that person has shortcomings. And that's not the proper way to gain self-esteem. That's irrational.

No, I never drank my own urine. Where that notion arose, I have no idea. I did take doctor-prescribed amphetamines for a while, because as a competing bodybuilder and writer I found it difficult during periods of severe dieting to sustain the energy required to train and then go home and write for hours. But it was always doctor prescribed."

I think that was his last interview, and it has a piss question :/ .
