Mentzer sucks.
There more people who now say they either trained with Mentzer or watched him train than ever really did.
Not even in the top 50 greatest bodybuilders.
That's a great interview.I don't agree with Mike's training, but a lot of good basic knowledge in that video.Imagine interviewing the retards we have today, all they would do is push supplements and grass fed beef (rinsed of course).
your workouts are a joke 100 sets for arms
To each his own. If it works for him, great. It wouldn't work for me. I started using HIT because i couldn't follow the tipical 12 sets per bodypart without getting overtrained.
I call him "little Mike" because he was in fact "little" compared to other top pro's of his era( Arnold) He was only 5ft 7 even though he claimed 5ft 9 . The guy was a born liar and loser. He did the typical workouts with more sets but only counted the last set. So he may have done the pyramid sets but only counted the last set as his working set. So basically EVERY bodybuilder does/did "heavy duty" if you think of it. They push them selves on the LAST set. But Little Mike only counts the last one. The one big difference is most guys will do 2 or more exercises per bodypart so about 5 sets per exercise. So they do 10 sets ( or more if they do 3 or more exercises) but Little Mike only counts the last set of each exercise so that would be "2 " sets . smh. And if you don't do lots of different exercises and only lift heavy all the time your physique doesn't "pop" like Arnolds or any of the others. Mike is gone and so is Ray and so is Casey and jones. But notice how these fucktards that hug little Mikes nuts never talks the same about Viator or jones or even Ray? They trained normal and kept their mouths shut. But Mike was the type who was so mentally screwed up that the more he was proven wrong the harder he tried to convince people he was right. And look what it got him. But then again us normal bodybuilders are doing the same but in reverse. We keep trying to get you methead nut huggers to see how wrong he was and we keep responding to the shitty posts you all make about Mike. So here it is. He was wrong. Wrong about almost everything. He didn't win the olympia didn't come close. He lost his mind did drugs and he died. Let him rest Stop trying to convince us he was a genius or the best or was right etc. HE WASN'T ANY OF THAT!!!
Lmao. Little Mike throwing around some "big" words trying to sound all scientific and shit. SMH.. He said NOTHING that any person off the street didn't already know. To gain muscle you have to push it beyond what it can normally do. PERIOD. Even Arnold in pumping iron said "the body may not be used to the 9 10 11 or 12 rep so when you do that that is what makes the muscle grow. And yes more is not better but neither is not enough. Look at guys from boot camp. & days a week all day doing everything and each one always comes out of boot camp more muscular than when they went in. Overtraining? nope. But mike would think they should only do it once a week for 15 minutes. Football" double sessions for weeks. Overtraining? nope. But mike would want you to do it once a week for 15 minutes. YES there are limits depending on your goals. So I guess a marathon runner would be better off training once a week for 15 minutes ( according to little mike) So I guess volume has no place in building muscle? Look at gymnasts? Hours each day and they are built. Bike racers. see their legs? The point is EVERYONE is different. Not all bike racers have huge legs not all gymnasts are muscular and not all volume guys build a lot of muscle. Little mike "theory" is come in do one set of one rep with the heaviest weight and have help getting it up to make sure you gave your all and then go home and repeat in 7 to 10 days. That is basically what he says. But wait all the experts say it takes at least 6 reps ( isnt that volume?) And after 12 is more cardio. This is not rocket science people. Train hard eat good sleep well and if you want take steroids. There is much more to building muscle than pushing the muscle to the limit. Food rest mental issues etc. But the biggest and most important is GENETICS!!! Little mike never says that does he. The body can and should be worked out every day But we look for short cuts and some people listen to little methead and his training because it sounds good ( less time working out) but it has never and will never work for any real boybuilder no matter their genetics or drug intake. PERIOD.
Let`s not leave out the Melatonin, Walla Walla Onions,Duck Eggs, and Pat Banya sweet potatoes my old friend.
PARAGRAPHSLOOK INTO IT.I can't read a wall of text especially one that states facts I don't like.
😉
And yet, here we are, talking about him, his legacy, and his brother, 24/7.
Hi bigbychoices 😂Arnold looking so much better than Yates here.
That's because ever other thread is about him. We'd be talking about Larry Scott if ever other thread was about him. The only difference is that Scott actually won the Olympia. WOOSH!!!!
Reasonable argument. But Larry was no genius like Mike.
