I know. Not this crap again. Thinking I'm going to get it. 700 pages long. This is sure to put RMJ11 into a tail spin. Anyone read this? It's on Amazon.

Perhaps get the free sample kindle version first to se rid you like the writing style?  Something like this seems very hit or miss.

Apparently it's well written from a litterary standpoint. Well researched and meticulously detailed. . I actually considered getting it. I came across John Hansens interview of the author and couldn't justify handing over my cash to that guy. Came across like a typical PNW beta schmuck.
(He's not from PNW, he's French but strongly reminded me of the PNW brand of beta male.)

Idk I think it would be better if John Little wrote it because he knows the most about Mentzer.

There's an 80% chance this is just 700 pages of gay erotic fiction.  Christ, it was probably written by that fudgepaki RMJ in his never ending rage over Mentzer and the HIT guys.

The author of this book is pure, unbridled schmoe. I have no doubt he's been choked to damn near death between two thighs and a penoris. I'm also certain he owns the entire volume of lukas Osadil cinema and has probably been thrown around a motel room by Bruce Patterson, only wearing grape smugglers. Im not sure of the grass stained sneakers though.... he doesn't seem like the type to make such a fashion faux pas.

A waste of money, not because it´s Mentzer but i have not bought any Bodybuilding related books in years..what will they teach me now? do i care about their old stories?. Most of it is online & has been recycled over the years.

"Just watched the legends show. John hansen interviewed some a guy who just wrote a new book about mike mentzer. I was curious what this guy had to say about mike that hadnt been said before.

Nope. Nothing new. The same old bullshit from this guy that's been said by every other mentzer geek ever...

About 10 minutes into the interview the guy starts in on Arnold, what a terrible person arnold is but mentzer is full of virtue. Then the matter of fact, forgone conclusion that HIT is scientifically proven to be superior blah blah blah.

Can't mike exist on his own? Or does his  existence matter only in comparison to arnold.? It's truly bizarre and more than a little pathetic."

Great review from BeakDoctor, sums up the methzer cult.

I read the Bill Pearl biography Beyond the Universe. It was a really good read. Surprisingly Robby's biography was interesting too though I seriously doubt he wrote it. Pearl wrote his with the assist of another writer. Pearl has sold a lot of books in his life. Mentzer is a very interesting character in this sub culture of a sport. I'm not a fan boy of Mentzer though I was in 1975 to 1980 or so. I never put down volume trainers or low set trainers who use heavy weight to failure. I know nothing about the author of the Mentzer biography. Never saw the interview with him that a few of you guy have seen.

Bill Pearl was a good guy or at least to me on the phone. Of course most of us have never met them in person..or at least not for a long period enough to know them.
Books are misleading & tend to tilt towards the authors opinions.

I laughed out loud over this. You might be right.

This book is definitely a big problem for the 1 Mentzer hater on this board. He has a lot of accounts dedicated to insulting Mentzer.


But the “upside down coffee cup challenge” has ruined his entire agenda.
