Legendary Bodybuilders That HATED Mike Mentzer

Legendary Bodybuilders That HATED Mike Mentzer

[martinbernat]

"Mentzer advocated high intensity training and little recovery time" BRO WTF 💀

[StrayaMate]

This got so much wrong. Mike Mentzer and Tom Platz where both friends and respected each other and both Bodybuilders used similar training methods. They both derived their training methods from a man named Arthur Jones who invented HIT (High intensity training).

[ASTRUM]

This has a lot wrong here. Mike emphasized long rest times to not overtrain. Very short workouts and many rest days.

[monkbunk]

Mentzer did not advocate fast explosive exercises. He also put a strong emphasis on form and technique. I encourage anyone to really take a deep dive into Mike mentzer. The man was an absolute genius.

[pennies]

Tom Platz didn't have beef with Mike they were actually friends

[Johnhatzijohn]

I'm in 1:20 and you already got Metzers training philosophy wrong.

This video maybe the worst one I’ve ever seen. I say that because it tries to sound truthful but has so many things wrong. It’s ridiculous.

[jaypietersen]

Mentzers placed a lot of emphasis on form, his recommended cadence for all lifts except deadlift was 4 second eccentric, 4 second concentric and a 2 second static hold at near lockout. Mentzers training methods were tailored to individual athletes via excercises and rest times. He covers all this in detail in his first book. The person making this didn't read the book clearly.

If do many people hated him. That means he was ahead of his time. Still is in fact 😂😅

I heard Tom platz tore his bicep close to mr Olympia time, he thought about not competing but didn’t want his training to go to waste. He told mentzer about his injury and Mike encouraged him to compete anyway and helped him hide his injury. Arnold told the judges about his injury even though he wasn’t even competing and had nothing to gain. Platz got 6th place that year

[DuncanPerryOfficial]

Mentzer was the first man ever to achieve a perfect score in an elite contest, the 1978 Mr. Universe. At that time was a 300 🔥

[johnharbour]

This video gets a lot wrong about Mike's training methods and it almost paints the picture that Mike used sloppy form and trained haphazardly.

[Armandooooooo]

It always frustrating if you put in 30 hours a week in the gym for years, then suddenly 1 comes in with the same physique accomplished in 3 hours per week 😂😂😂😂

[norak]

Screw these fakes, Mike was the real one.

[Johnhatzijohn]

Boyer Coe trained with Arthur Jones and mike metzer what on earth are you talking about.

[longtermgains]

Many people forget that mike was the editor of the largest muscle and fitness publication at the time. So he was the gatekeeper to the rest of these guys exposure. This dynamic brought a lot of in fighting and bickering.

[Willy]

Mike legit said straightforward that he trains 3 hours a week, 3 days a week. The amount of research and effort put into these videos is honestly sad

[unitednutmeg]

Minimal rest?? Mentzer was famous for recommending long rest phases. Sometimes a 1 day on, 6 day off cycle!

[coachcam]

How could Coe hate Mentzer when Mentzer is seen training him in various video clips. Them laughing together between sets, etc…

[ernestothegod]

Mike Mentzer’s physique during his prime is CRAZY!
