He said to only do one set of each exercise then wait 3 days befor you do workout #2. Doesn't seem like much but man he had a nice build and massive arms.

well thats 1 working set...the big misconception aboout yates and mentzer was that they only did 1 set for an exercise, while they may have done up to four, but with just 1 actual working set

...still does not work for me though

Arguing with Arnold makes me loose respect for him! Arguing with Arnold is like playing tennis againest a wall and thinking your gonna win

**vitamindrew** · 06-06-2006, 11:55 PM

Mentzer was just explaining to arnold that he should'nt disrepect his fellow competitors. Arnold had made some harsh comments about boyer coe and mentzer was just defending Boyer.

**vitamindrew** · 06-07-2006, 12:31 AM

check out the thickness of mentzers tris and calfs.

**RedBaron38** · 06-07-2006, 04:01 AM

Mentzer was awesome.... got a little weird later in life... essentric probably a better word, but still one of my favorites

**vitamindrew** · 06-07-2006, 10:10 AM

Dude, look for the sign at the top left of the mirror.

some reports of him running into traffic naked, and drinking his own urine are quite disturbing. but hey methamphetamine is one hell of a drug!!!!!

**RedBaron38** · 06-07-2006, 04:19 PM

Sorry I didn't see the sign on the mirror....my bad

**vitamindrew** · 06-07-2006, 05:41 PM

Mikes last interview

TS: Dan wrote that you were involved in some things regarding amphetamine abuse and drinking your own urine.

MM: [Chuckles] I don't know where he got that one. How would anyone know I drank urine?

TS: I don't know, but a lot of people believed it.

MM: Yes, a lot of people like to see celebrated figures come down a notch or two because their own self-esteem is not very high. They gain a sense of self-esteem when they can say, Look, I'm not like that; that person has shortcomings. And that's not the proper way to gain self-esteem. That's irrational.

No, I never drank my own urine. Where that notion arose, I have no idea. I did take doctor-prescribed amphetamines for a while, because as a competing bodybuilder and writer I found it difficult during periods of severe dieting to sustain the energy required to train and then go home and write for hours. But it was always doctor prescribed.

Some great pics

i dont think he'd admit abusing drugs or drinking his own pee. however the fact remains that he died of heart complications caused be using meth for over a decade. although he was clean at the time of his death the damage had already been done. he was also in and out of a nut house.....

**MrMeathead** · 06-08-2006, 02:00 PM

I highly doubt he would admit to drinking his own urine either but at the same time I find the fact that he was led to that high of a level of insanity by amphetamine abuse hard to beleive. I have never heard of anyone doing something that sick from all the years of amphetamine abuse in the world.

Actually that was the year Mentzer should have beaten Arnold.

Mentzer was better and everyone there saw it.

yup!

Additionally Mentzer noted that Arnold looked really small in his tigh-fitting shirt.

He wondered outloud if Arnold was competing.

Just Got Mike Mentzers Underground Seminar On Dvd Through The Mail. Its Soooooooooooo Awesome.

**vitamindrew** · 06-13-2006, 11:10 PM

just got done watching the mm seminar, O my god, It was SOO imformational and even funny at sometimes with mentzer cracking jokes sometimes. He is truly the man who knows the best way to increase strenght and size. Also gave great nutritional advice as well.

heavy duty arms

**PlasticFuture112** · 06-16-2006, 01:49 PM

didnt Mentzer train with Zane during that time? Personally i dont think Mentzer has anything but wicked arms. Arnold even at that time looks sick with his tiny waist and enormous upper body. I mean his legs do lack a bit but his overall body frame is just nothing that could be competed with. The way his obliques form into the lats on a narrow waist is rediculous. Maybe Mentzer should have won in the eyes of many but i am one to say that arnold was number one, zane number two and mentzer in third. sorry fellas to burst the bubble of this thread but mentzers more of a Ed Corney than an Arnold competitor.
