Mike Mentzer, Iron Man Nov. issue

Did anyone read the article on pg 164 in the Nov issue of Iron Man about Mike Mentzer's Consolidation Program. The results of their study was really interesting. Has anyone ever tried this type of program?

I do not like putting others down-not my style! But, I am of the belief that Mike Mentzer was dishonest and delusional. Below is a quote from him I pulled off the net. If anyone believes this garbage I feel sorry for them.

Special Tip for Lagging Body Parts

"For some, even one set for certain body parts may prove more than the individual can tolerate or even need. For instance, over the years, I have had training clients, who informed me at the start that they couldn't stimulate growth in their calves, whether they were training them with 12 sets three times a week or just one set once a week. They took my advice, acknowledging the possibility that even one set may be too much, then ceased training their calves entirely. These individuals reported to me on a regular basis, claiming calf increases of 3/4" to 1 1/2" in several months".

I've been overwhelmed many times when people make crazy claims( in my eyes anyways), then i call them dummies, then to my surprise they ended up right..,, but this claim i really do think is a bunch of horse
