MIKE MENTZER INTERVIEW (1991): PART 1 

ROIDERS are FAKE & UNHEALTHY! NATURALS are LEGIT & HEALTHIER! Stay natural buddy!

Omg he’s back ⬇

The ROIDERS might as well put pillows under their clothes and walk around. ROIDERS are FAKES! Stay natural buddy!

Yep. However, we can safely say looking back that he was wrong about the advancement of competitors' physiques. This was in 1991, just on the cusp of the "mass monster" era, started by Dorian Yates' 4 Olympia wins. The human physique since that time has become increasingly larger and more grotesque in some ways through the increased use of anabolics, HGH, and the real killer known as insulin.

@@steroidsR4losers BULLSHIT! You have no clue what you're talking about. All your pro-bodybuilding heroes used steroids. One does not compete in the Mr. Olympia as a natty..... unless, it's the natty Mr. Olympia. Mainstream bodybuilders use gear.

We see how FAKE these STEROID users REALLY are when they finally can't take their STEROIDS because they got ARRESTED/in PRISON or the doctors tell them to come off because of health PROBLEMS...there goes those FAKE STEROID muscles they been HIDING behind! ROIDERS are FAKES! Stay natural buddy!

Heavy Duty

At the end he wasn't, he quit training himself and smoked like a furnace

When are the ROIDERS going to be PROSECUTED for STEROIDS? ROIDERS are LAW BREAKING UNHEALTHY FAKES!! Stay natural buddy!

@@rampageclover9788 sad but i have to agree with you on that. The 1980 Olympia really messed him up bad and he just gave up at that point

Totally agree, no angel but he was very clued up and eloquent. His high intensity training theory's helped me.

@@bigt9374 He stated no problems about normal steroid users (normal daily intake). You didn't pay attention.

@@thesergio9444 Dude you are very stupid for stating bad and false things here! First: Ray died after Mike. If you don't know that much then you should shut your mouth. Second: he had an argument with Arnold about weight classes and was backed up by all the rest of competitors. That was all. Later on he and Arnold got on good terms. And third: Mike died in his sleep because of known heart conditions and was found by Ray. Mike did not commit suicide you mean pillock! Delete your shitty comment and show some respect!

@@LuciTulcea Yeah, What I said was reported to me in a magazine. Yes, Mike passed first not Ray and yes I read that Mike Killed himself. The magazine I read must have been full of sensationalism. I remember talking about all that in the gym when it happened years ago. I think by the the way you express yourself you must not be educated, using all your trite mean words. A weak mind trys to express itself that way for lack of a large lexicon and weakness of thought. So you were the troll that deleted my message. i am not surprised now knowing your intelligence level and lack of manners.

@@thesergio9444 Mike died before Ray, from a heart attack. Ray is the one who found him dead.

And Ray.

The ROIDERS are too SCARED to come off of the STEROIDS because they would LOSE all their "size" and "strength"! This just proves that the ONLY difference is the STEROIDS between someone that uses and not uses! The difference is NOT because they lift weights, eat and sleep. People that lift WITHOUT STEROIDS do that! You are NOT FOOLING us! Lift weights WITHOUT STEROIDS and let's see how "big" & "strong" you REALLY are! Stay natural buddy!

@@steroidsR4losers uh... ok?

He had a strange squeaky voice in the end. When I met him in Holland he had a normal voice like he did here.

Glad you like them.

@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines You're wrong. Yates was a 90's bodybuilder and he used very few warm up sets for safety purposes as he trained with incredibly heavy poundages. Your vitriol is baseless and childish. Why not go back to the gym for one of your "six sessions a day" "Bulgarian Weightlifting" (lifters all banned for steroid use) system?

@@dtm4071 There's the charm ...

@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines I know, right? Six times a day in the gym "Bulgarian Weightlifting" is the key. Plus the heavy steroid use that got their lifters kicked out of competition -- that's the ticket! Thank God you've seen the light.

It is weird that some of these account that troll HIT or Mike’s video footage purposefully go to these videos and comment again and again about how much they disagree with HIT. I get it, some people prefer volume routines… I don’t recall any stories about Mike (or John) standing at the entrance of Gold’s trying to get people kicked out for doing a second set. Doug McGuff’s son trains with volume-Doug’s OK with it, their relationship survived, lol. I personally hope to learn more about how to implement HIT, which becomes more essential as I work through some heavy coursework and 60 hour weeks.

@@DanielSanchez0 Some people don't want to get better results in less time for some reason and the mere suggestion of that triggers them to no end. If these trolls want to continue to waste hours in the gym every week that's their business but there's no reason for them to attack HIT with disinformation and outright lies on these videos.

Hi Jason. No worries. Glad you liked the video.

He was very intelligent

I have a lot of love for Liverpool. Great times there at sharkeys and the gathering lounge. Best pizza on earth is at Avocolli’s (spelling).

TALL??

@@mikeolson5986 Yes, I was tall - Mike was short. So I played pro baseball, despite wanting to be a bodybuilder way back when.

Hi Darryl, no worries, sir. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Whats your max bench?

@Brian Badonde yes it does

Trenbolone and eq certainly can, and testosterone at higher dosages in my experience.

Can you pls share his advice? My body looks like shit even after 10 years in the gym

@@Gunshow0 First up are you comparing yourself to say a bodybuilder using large amounts of steriods or do you have little to no gains for your time spent in the gym? A natural lifter can make good gains if training properly but even then will not compare to say a Mike Mentzer or a Dorian Yates. Not having a go at those using steriods as i had a few years back tried them for 10 weeks but realized that they weren't for me. Mike Mentzer was about not training for volume, keep your workouts short and intense which i decided to do many years ago but i should mention some other aspects of my training that me and the other people who i lifted with used to make some very good gains. First up with training intensity we found forced reps where actually counter productive and a waste of your bodies energy, you'll know when you cannot complete another rep under your own steam and that is when you need to rack the bar. Have 3 to 5 minutes rest between sets, none of this 1 or 2 minutes rest between sets. If you want to develop larger muscles the best way to go about this is to get stronger, who will have a bigger and stronger upper body someone who military presses 100 pounds for say 3 sets of 8 reps taking only a minute rest between sets or someone who can military press 200 pounds for 1 rep taking an adequete amount of time to recover between sets in order to recover enough strength to lift heavier weight. I would also strongly recommend getting hold of a book titled "Dinosaur Training by Brooks Kubik" if it's still published, it is without doubt the best training book ever written for a natural lifter wanting to gain strength and size. The major problem many trainers have faced for some time now is that they follow the routines that top competing bodybuilder use, the issue here is these top bodybuilders use large doses of steroids for there gains and do exercises that may work for someone on steriods but normally have little or no benefit for someone lifting naturally, ie most people in the gym do waaaay to many isolation exercises instead of compound movements and its the compound movements like squats, standing presses, bent barbell rows, dips chin ups, powercleans, deadlifts that if done heavy and in GOOD FORM will get you stronger, breathing heavier and following that muscle size will increase. Most people training in your standard commercial gym do about 90 to 95% of their exercises lying or seated on a comfortable padded seat or bench instead of standing (their pretending to lift weights) It should be the other way around for more productive gains. Your not happy with your progress and if this sort of training appeals to you you should if you can find a good powerlifting gym where the basic exercises are the norm and machines are none exsistant or kept to a minimum and learn to train heavy on the compound movements with good technique. Because really getting bigger and stronger ain't rocket science or it shouldn't be but unfortunatley their are plenty of so called experts out their these days that want to convince you otherwise. I'll also add that i hardly consider myself an expert but i have trained since 1987 and cutting the duration down in my training but upping the intensity like Mike Mentzer advised and then reading Brooks Kubik's book Dinosaur Training (get that book if your serious) got me in my early thirties as a natural lifter a 410 lb squat, 305 lb benchpress, 600 lb deadlift, 175 lb standing military press, 400 lb for reps bent barbell rows, 255 lb power clean, 170 lbs strapped to my waist dip, 110 lbs around my waist chin ups, farmers walks with 200lbs in each hand and lifting a concrete ball of 160 lbs to my chest. Measusements upperarm 17.4 inches, chest 47, upper legs 25, on a 34 inch waist. Not meaning to blow my own trumpet here (well maybe a little) but this is what can be achieved as a natural and more with proper training. Heck i trained with other men who could squat 500 lbs, bench 400 lbs and military press 200 lbs and they where also natural and followed the advice from Brooks Kubiks book.

Who are you? Obi Wan Kenobi.

I remember those (recorded late in Mike's life I believe).

Yup, I have the first interview. Mike unloaded nothing but truth in that interview. "...bodybuilders are on steroids ... bodybuilding competitions are fixed ..." Phillips was speechless lol.

You're certainly welcome (from my end), and I'm sure Mike would be happy to hear of your success.

@@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE Do you have the Merv Griffin Show or the Supertars Competiton?

That's pretty cool.

You seem to be a very cocky old friend of Mentzer’s that frequents his videos a lot.

@@ax3792 he's more stating the fact when it comes to potential both physically and emotionally.

he is downsized here

U must not know much about bodybuilding he was wrong alot,,,he was a gd guy but he stood for overtraining the muscles always lifting really heavy to promote muscle growth and that's not true there is no benefit from lifting super heavy and Dorian Yates has said the same thing

@@brocklanders4684 yes..i dont know nothing about bodybuilding.i just competed for 12 years won 3 national titles in my country,was selected 2 times to compete in the Mr Europe and Mr Universe amateur,which i did not competed because the Portuguese association didn t have money...and won more than 11 titles in my country.i worked 5 years for Twinlab in Portugal,trained with Troy Zucolloto,and Greg Kovacs,had meetings with Rich Gaspary,Albert Beckles,Lee Haney,was distribuitor for of the Ton Platz line of clothing,had a seminar with Dr Fred Hatfield,was a trainer and importer For Twinlab,Champion Nutrition,Icopro,and Strenght Systems,went more than 7 times to Fibo germany in Essen and Madrid,where I meet several top bodybuilders like Berry de Mey,Ali Mala,Tom Platz,Shaw Ray etc.did seminars in Germany, 1986 in Dortmund,Krefeld.

@Rui Calado What was it about Arnold to be your favourite BB?

@@paulthomas281 Arnold was the first that inspired me to train when i saw a picture of him in a magazine, and yes,he was my favorite,but some years later when i received every month the muscle and fitness magazine(this was back in late 70, and begining of the 80,s and after the Mr Olympia in 1980 i i was fan of Mike despite the rivalry between the two...and started to train and folow the heavy duty,and the progress was imense..
