Top Comments of this video!! :3
I knew him quite well when he worked/trained at the spartan health club in maryland. I first saw him when i decided to join that gym in the summer of 74. His routine at that time was 2 to 3 sets per body part till absolute failure with forced reps at the end. That equated to about
3 hrs a week..Mike was a brilliant guy and a non conventional thinker..His workout philosophy was absolutely revolutionary at the time and was based on arthur Jones ideas of building muscle hypertrophy.. As evidenced by his huge size and how quickly he grew, his theories proved correct. Mike was a down to earth guy and very approachable to even the most basic body building novice..In retrospect I feel fortunate to have known him..

''I know that you want big muscles, but if you look deep down inside of yourself, what you're looking for at bottom is the purpose of all goal achievements, a set of mastery, ethic, self esteem, to achieve a certain type of happiness that can only be had as a result of achieving goals. If you don't work on developing these aspects along with your muscles, then you're just gonna end up with a set of muscles and be like the rest. Get that sense of mastery, Become the best version of yourself.'' -Mike Mentzer

Mentzer was the man in my opinion. I started body building in 1976, went on to try various routines, read Arnold’s book and routines. It wasn’t until I came across HIT routines that I really grew. So much so, my skin could not keep up and even today I gave the skin ‘stretches’’ to this day. So tragic for him and his brother to leave us so soon. Will always be my man.
