Mike is from the golden age era of bodybuilding, hard chiseled big muscles, and not the abominable ultra massive steroids ultracharged monsters we have now a day. Long live the memory of Mike Mentzer, the most brilliant bodybuilder I'm history thanks for heavy duty Mike!
So cool to see Mike with ordinary sized guys - highlights just how MASSIVE he was!! Undoubtedly the most perfect physique ever. And one heluva handsome dude.
is it just me or is there anyone else thinks Wtf that's so Gay.!!!.Mike touched the guitarist long curly hair, pinching his chin, wearing a police hat with only red speedo,while showing his shaved armpit and his muscles..haha..Don't get me wrong I respect Mike as a person.
Mentzer's exercise science philosophy stems from his belief in Objectivism or pure Ayn Rand thought. I haven't finished reading Atlas Shrugged...heard it's an influential story.............Teaches a truly free market capitalist system........It sells more copies each year......Who is John Galt?
If only i looked like this! i think he looked better in 1979 than 1980, besides in 1980 his chest flattened a little(still better than the winner's though).
In this shape i think he was about on the same level as Arnold in his peak, mike should've won in 1979 and '80!
I totally agree: Mike looks fantastic here! He was definitely robbed at the 1980 Mr. O! He has an amazing body...too bad he did not become a movie star and "Governator"!
Mike is my idol, and i wish he would have gotten more famous, he truly would have been a much better governor than arnold, because if you have read any of Mentzer's stuff, he was very intelligent politically
he was also a fantastic bodybuilder, but weider's golden boy had to win that contest :(
think mike could have won and gone of to movies like arnold did, but mentzer still made a name for himself in light of that
This is proof that two good things don't necessarily go together. Mike Mentzer: Incredible physique and amazing pioneer in the field of high Intensity. Nantucket: Legendary band. Together, it just looks weird and Gay. What on earth do we have a bodybuilder in his banana sling prancing around on stage with a rock band. This is like peanutbutter with mustard, it just doesn't go.
@jkdclayson, muscular men posing in briefs is just inherently gay. You think it looks weird while others of us think it looks great. Raise your hand if you agree that Mike is the sexiest BB ever.
Nice video, but do you have the alternate version of this video which features Arthur Jones on his Nautilus V-Neck guitar performing a wicked high-intensity solo until failure?
More than 20 years ago I read an article by Mentzer about HIT. Eventually I made a full switch to it from the mindless volume training I had been doing. It changed my life. I've won bodybuilding titles and have even written books and articles about HIT. I have Mentzer to thank for showing me the light. None of that changes the fact that this is the dumbest music video I've ever seen! 8^ P
Have you seen the behind the scenes video of he and Ray while they were making the HIT video? He was smoking nonstop and he looked really bad as did Ray. As I recall, they both passed just a couple days after completing the shoot.
@sphmusak I just saw that stuff. Really sad. Mike actually died the night that video was shot, and Ray died two days later. I found the video interesting, but I prefer to remember them as two of the greatest physical specimens that ever walked the earth.
Wow, never knew this even existed. Mike looked so good back in those days. He looked naturally big, not all bloated and freakish like the BB's today. Of course, he only competed at 215 or so compared to guys like Branch who at 5'7" is about 245 on stage. I had the opportunity to workout under Mike back in 1992 and learned so much. He was truly a great guy.
hey sphmusak... met Mike at the Olympia expo here in Vegas the year he died.. he looked horrible to say the leist... he signed my photo of him when he was at his peak.. gave him a a hug and kissed his cheek.. he felt so bony and frail when I hugged him.. RIP sweet king!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Let's continue to get people to come out and talk about STEROIDS (and other drugs and methods that they use) so people will know who the CHEATERS are.
The ROIDERS get mad when we talk about STEROIDS. They don't want to be known as STEROID CHEATERS.
Some also have their own line of supplements that they endorse/sale. It's the STEROIDS that made them bigger, stronger and faster, not their line of supplements.
Wow Guys this is a tribute to the late Bon Scott from AC/DC 1976 hit... This treasure seems to come out from the Mysterious Nautilus Archives(Surreal!!!) Arthur Jones wanted to educate the masses about proper exercise and reach all kind of audiences...Mr Heavy Duty Rocks.. FIVE STARS!!!
"Homophobic and drug addict?" Lol! Where did you get your silly information? Teen Beat magazine? Having sexual encounters with his Brother? Gee, Are you off your medication? Why did you deleted the rest of some of your ridiculous posts?
this vid is 1979 this is not 1980 lmao. blind check out mikes 1980 ripped physique. you can tell 79' check his biceps! mike's 80' biceps are terrible!!!
I think you stand correct. It looks to be in 79. Mike's biceps in 80, looked pretty damn good to me. It was obvious, that he was going for conditioning and his pecs suffered a little bit, but nevertheless, should of destroyed Arnold in that contest.
sir i finally found out! that you have a wrong info on this vid. this is not Mentzer Physique in 1980. but this vid is a week before the 1979 mr O was held. To Make Clear on Every Viewer in This Vid. =)
@exarchives hmm? quite confusing. but if you see carefully mike body structure and physique you can actually identify and determined this is 1979 compared to the Ripped physique body of mike in 1980. his biceps here is not transformed yet compared to 1980 biceps. let find out if any viewers of your vid tells what exactly this video year 79 or 80. thanks sir =)
@MrGentlemanly dont take this seriously is just an MTV video i have this video to on BETAMAX TAPE. the band thank MM for being in this vid. this is just a critics on the greatest BB. i be more lost respect to arnold coz mentzer gave his all life in BB helping others to achieve heartedly. rather being a running man to a running politician!
I've seen all the worlds strongest man shows since 1977. Mike was an attendee at one of the first ones, may be the very first one. All that was shown of Mike was him in the crowd for a few seconds, that's it.
No, I've seen Columbo in several strongman competition, including the one where he broke his right leg at the knee.
I think you're right. The one that I was thinking about was "All Star Competition." (I think that's what it was called) It had Ferrigno and Mentzer in it. Mike was already retired from BB.
@Naturalhit Thats cool, please message me and let me know if you locate that one. I used to see shows like "superstars" on cbs, "battle of the network stars", etc.. I saw Ferrigno but never Mike, so I would be interested in seeing him compete.
What a massive man.
