MIKE MENTZER: I TRAINED ONLY 2 HOURS A WEEK FOR THE MR. OLYMPIA #mikementzer #gym #motivation

Back in the 80s alot of people discredited this man, he was ahead of the time

[americanthaiboxer]

Mentzer red pilled us from the bodybuilding matrix.

[jackknife]

He’s a wise man. Stimulate don’t annihilate.

[welcomeparidice]

Quality workouts are more important than quantity. He is exactly right.

[theblockchaindoesntlie]

It’s crazy with his level of knowledge of his body he understood how cortisol worked in workouts before it was even medically proven. That’s nuts.

[ayanbharadwaj]

He was like a mystical character in the bodybuilding world, RIP Legend 🙏🏻

[hawaiidispenser]

His style was basically doing only 1 or maybe 2 sets ( not counting warmup) and going all out, until you feel like crying and/or vomitting. Done.

I will say this, im a 41 year old guy who worked out for a year straight. No roids, no supplements or anything. Just healthy eating and protein shakes. Two hours per workout, 5 to 6 times a week and i saw improvement but very little in my opinion based on the work i put in. Found some of Mikes videos and decided to try his ideas and i can honestly say, for me they are working. Recovery is half of muscle building as i am now learning, especially for guys in my age group doing it naturally. Workout the chosen muscle group until failure and soreness then rest it for 3 days then do it again. You will be surprised

Bring yourself to failure and walk away! Works a treat for me. No injuries, no over training, superior results compared to when I did 2 hours 5 times per week!

[malomapusua]

Totally agree I not only felt better but I noticed after focusing on quality rather than quantity of reps I got better results and felt better long term

[Deondre_Clark]

Those 30 minute sessions must have been INTENSE!

[saypuppy]

What I appreciate about most people who know high intensity training is that they will tell you the principles behind it. So much better than people who laugh in your face because of the quote "studies". I would rather know the mechanism and the reason why things function, not just read some study that did it for me.

HE WAS THE RIGHTFUL WINNER OF THE OLYMPIA THAT YEAR..! GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS BROTHER, LEGENDS..!

[braille]

30 mins 3 times per week for me. Intensity and nutrition are key.

[sunitdeka]

Mike Menzer is The Real Legend That Changed The Concept of Training in Bodybuilding.

[Kbcqw]

Mike was so far ahead of the curve in his knowledge wow.

[carlbruhn]

As a young man I bought his book Heavy Duty directly mail order from him. He offered phone consultations at that time I was able to afford 4, 30 minute consults. He made a huge impact on me.

[BastardX]

Mike Mentzer. Night of Champions 1980. One of the best physiques of all time at that contest. Way ahead of the curve.

[jtbatista]

🔥 Mike Mentzer is just a freaking league & wizard of his own.

[nopeno]

I've started his training method. I'm doing 1 set, 4 exercises per session every 4 days. It takes me 10 minutes to complete. 👍
