100 % accurate & true , i have lived it so i know what he is saying is true if it wasnt for hormones then a lot of the bodybuilders wouldnt be anything , most athletes are over trained plain & simple majority of them cause that is how they think more training is better which is total bs
I loved Mike and I only wish he stayed a competitive bodybuilder. I hate to say it but he's a windbag here and I wish I didn't watch this. I wish he's would have stayed that same hot black haired, mustached bodybuilder on muscle rocks and the beach and magazine covers. I think he let his loss to Arnold get to him and it ate at him and kinda destroyed him. Guess I just remember him and Ray in my own way. Thanks for posting anyway.
i admire mentzer for he was a great bodybuilder. but i think he is wrong about nutrition. 60 % carbs? 15% fat rest protein? i eat around 50-70 percent of fat. never more than 10% of carbs and around 40 percent protein . 2 carb load days weekends. my muscles are not flat i am bigger than with 60% carbs and a get leaner every month what never happenend when i eat the "optimum 60 % carb diet. body can adapt to fat as main fuel. so it dontwants to store it. lots of carbs only make me fat.
@djlovemachine wtf ? your body only utilizes fat when it dips into the oxidative energy pathway where fat is convert to energy, this only happens when the heart rate is elevated for 20 minutes or longer. so your ratios are seriously wrong and you could be a lot leaner or do a lot of cardio or just a freak. This is not for a regular person.. by the way the fda has approved this ratio and the pyramid is where all the research and knowledge of the human body is.
@NoHoldsBARHernandez i do a lot cardio and i am very low in carbs so i am a fat burning machine. i like the reduced amount of food i have to eat to get my needed calories. i am never bloated as i was with more carbs and water retention under the skin is also reduced a lot. i can train better with more carbs but the body gets used to it. since i do low carb and high fat i can do much longer cardio sessions because i dont ride against the carb depletion wall after 40 minutes i do a lot more.
Okay, here's the real deal when it comes to volumn vs. intensity. It's true that there are more aspects to muscle size then simple hypertrophy, such as blood plasma volumn and mitocondrial growth. These factors are NOT affected by the intensity of a set but rather a certain volumn of targeted exercise. So, while it's definately possible to chronically overtrain, a bodybuilder DOES need a certain amount of volumn training to get bigger. The key is to find the perfect balance that works for you!
he's right though. carbs carbs and good carbs not bad carb ie donuts, biscuts, and shit. carbs are fuel, protien is repair and fat is back up power to keep it simple.
Where's Mentzer on steroids? Let's hear about his opinion on dianabol, primobolan. Let's hear him tell us which ones he used and which one was better. Mentzer was an anal-retentive fairy piece of shit.
@z0ltanz0ltan shut up a##hole...at least he admits to taking steroids, in his books....you got guys like Coleman that don't even admit to taking steroids. When it's obvious that they take more steroids than food. By the way, Mentzer did not take that much, especially compared to what bodybuilders take today.
@TheRogueMonk : you may not have read that, but most guys I speak with do 25 sets for chest 20 sets shoulders and 15 sets for tris for their chest shoulder tri workout, which is 60 sets. Mike is just reiterating that the common belief is as one gets bigger just add more sets, which is false. Most pro bodybuilders do more sets and grow because they also up their dosage of roids

Thanks so much. I think you have an idea how much this will be appreciated by those who trained under Mike's expertise as I did.
