Wow, I wish I could un-see that.

If the question should ever be asked "Is Mike Metzer a queer mental patient"?

This video shall be considered Exhibit A

Brixtonbulldog · « **Reply #5 on:** March 25, 2011, 08:23:08 PM »

agree with the above but other than platz's legs i think he had the ideal bbing physique.

The_Infidel · « **Reply #6 on:** March 25, 2011, 08:37:05 PM »

True. Amazing physique on that nut job. If he could have shrank the gut and increased the chest he would have been a god.

YoungBlood · « **Reply #7 on:** March 25, 2011, 09:39:20 PM »

What the fuck did I just see?

He's wandering around the stage, looking like a buffoon, has zero relevance to the song or even what's going on there and he looks out of his mind like a psych ward patient.

And they said BBing went downhill when Yates came on the scene...

Everyone in that video shared the same drugs... except for Mike. He didn't give them any juice with the meth.

X2 genetics, recovery and frequency are key you have to figure out those things for your individual makeup.

While I haven't read the book, I'd be willing to bet that you're an idiot for believing Metzner is NOT an idiot. He's dogmatic, stubborn and thinks his training is the only method that works. One look around any gym in the country one can tell that is not the case. And even better, Metzner didn't even do what he said he did...so he didn't follow his own methods. And every time he came out with a new book, it was a little different, yet still superior to his old methods.

That is a fantastic book, just don't apply his 'logic' to bodybuilding. That basically summarizes the book in its entirety. Mike struggles to find enough scientific analogies to parallel bodybuilding and justify their "theories"-- through 'science'

for those of you with limited vocabulary, get a comprehensive dictionary. Your'e gonna need it.

"Tautology, Inverse Ratios, illogical, formidable, quantum, desparaging, arbitrary, objectivity and subjectivity....

and while your'e at it, pick up "The Wisdom of Mike Mentzer" along with 'the Fountainhead'

Oh yeah, and then apply all of your new knowledge to bodybuilding and wait for the gains...

keep waiting...

a little more....

a little more for Santa Claus....

Mike didn't like volume training because Arnold used it. Simple as that.

Mike had quite the gab. You read his stuff and sometimes you're like, I'm only out to do sets and reps with a barbell, man.

disco_stu · « **Reply #23 on:** March 26, 2011, 02:06:38 PM »

the problem with mike's philosophy on training is that its too advanced for the avg gym rat.

the avg gym rat can follow the logic- maybe- but rarely can put it into practice- so then calls the logic flawed.

mikes only failing was recognising that his approach had to be tempered to account for external stressors..i.e. life

his logic was spot on in terms of getting the science correct- not an easy thing and one that few have been able to do- literally the great philosophers of our time have been the only ones to do it..and even they get criticised by simple folk.

the additional thing people fail to recognise is that mike had trapezial palsy- or a neurological condition causing loss of a large section of muscle in one side of his trap. this meant that for him, everything was assymetric when he trained..making symmetry virtually impossible.

the biggest effect was that he couldnt then get decent pecs and one arm was larger than the other.

so, his achievements really are amazing considering the problems. he cant help it if people dont have the heart, guts, or ability to use his observations and logical progression as tools to implement in their own success.

-rather than do it- they cry foul and substitute the wrong causes and effect..i.e. their lack of effort to the effect of minimal gains.

According to him, his clients (circa 97 til 2001 which was when he passed) would regularly gain 20 to 30 quality pounds over a period of 3 to 4 months.
