I didn't even watch the video. He took that A/B rotation directly from Frank Calta Mr. Florida.

Yep. Old meth head copied other people's ideas. Never had an original thought of his own. Even Yates was influenced more by Calta than meth head as he did the A B split too in his early years.

2 way splits have been around for decades even Gordon scott did them so no he did not copy him.

Mentzer didnt even follow his own advices.
He was just trying to be different for something to "sell"...

sorry ...Mr Tampa  :D

A year later, he won the Mr. Tampa and Mr. Florida bodybuilding competitions. He weighed 205 pounds that year, bench pressed 450 pounds and squatted 575 pounds. National fitness magazines featured Calta flexing on the cover.

Did own some Gyms  :)

Yeah he owned gyms and became a successful personnel trainer. He lived a good life married with kids.

meth head was a junkie spewing nonsense who ended up homeless a few times,  stopped training, got fat, lived with his brother in a small apartment because both were broke, died alone.

Calta was indeed more successful than meth head.

It's the rotation that Frank Calta came up and not the 2 way split. Mentzer would train legs, chest and triceps on Monday. On Wednesday it was back, delt and biceps. On Friday he would be back to legs chest and triceps. So half of his body got hit twice a week and one side once. The next week he would start Monday with back, delts and biceps. Wednesday he would use thighs, chest and triceps. Friday would be back, delts and biceps.  The idea for this rotation came from Frank Calta and not Mentzer. Mentzer loved this split but never mentioned he got it from Frank.

:D Brutal but true. Calta died at 75 so he ended up better as well.

Frank at 70 looked better than Mike at 45.
