  1. So is there a difference between Zane's and Mentzer's workout for aestethics/simmetry or are this guys's workouts just different as in rest days and intensity?

  2. This is terrible lol you’ve just repeated the same thing four times, and then with Tom platz you repeated it twice again in the same section?

  3. Schwarzenegger, the son of a Nazi saying that others are frauds… and "shmucks".
    Let's not forget that.

    I now believe that Arnold was always a walking steroid.

  4. You can just watch the first one, they are the exact same thing repeating over and over.

    "(Bodybuilder) didn't agree with Mentzer's philosophy to body building. (Bodybuilder) believed in a more holistic approach, whereas Mentzer pushed for a more extreme style to push things to the limit. In the end, both (Bodybuilder) and Mentzer contributed significantly to the sport of bodybuilding."

    It plays like it was written by chatgpt. Insert Arnold, Zane, Coe, and platz and that is the whole video

  5. This video is completely wrong on alot of fronts,as mentioned in other comments mentzer did not advocate quick movements or short recovery, quite the opposite. Also boyer coe actually trained with Mike fairly often and was very interested in high intensity. Tom platz had nothing but respect for Mike and Tom himself followed many of mikes principles, and in early 80s was actually nicknamed Mr intensity due to his failure training style.i think fact checking has taken a serious back seat here,this is pure misinformation

  6. Mike has his good points, but so do all the other legends. Problem is Mike thought his was the ONLY way, even though his whole philosophy is based on the fact that everyone that wants to lift will have different training thresholds!

  7. These guys can all criticize Mikes HIT method all they want. Dorian Yates used this and he dwarfed any and all of these guys. Dorian was the game changer and was the first guy to change the game to being bigger is better. Killed it for years while only training 45 mins a day 4 days a week.

  8. Tell you you don't understand HIT in video. There is no evidence of short recovery times being pushed by Mike. His main idea is LONG recovery times. If you get that wrong please don't make a criticism.

  9. Apparently, before Mike Mentzer's death, Schwarzenegger offered to help pay for Ray Ment set's medical bills. If true, that does not indicate Schwarzenegger hated Mike Mentzer. The truth behind it? I do not know, but if it is the relation should be re-thought.

  10. So my take on this is everyone is going to have different opinions and styles of how they train their bodies. Me and my brother were extremely competitive in high school we both did body building not for competition but because one girl called him fat I was already in powerlifting and football. And we had different approaches to lifting.

    Our similarities were:
    We would get up early and run 6 miles at the school track every school day we live next to the school. Then we would for a short 30 minute work out the gym was always open to us the janitor dang near lived there😂 then we would eat 2 pounds of turkey meat for breakfast and one egg. We were super pour so we did what would could them at the end of the school day we would run home do our homework and then hobby to the school gym and pump iron that’s the only things we had in common. We knew our styles would be different but we ran at the same times and the same distance and we ate the same stuff at the same times. Our workouts wet drastically different.

    Our differences:
    I was all about non conventional methods because we had very little in life. I’d lift anything that was heavy. So I’m the gym my workouts are all about form and control and tor start will a super light amount for every work out and build up to my max then slowly drop back down as by the time I would get to a five pound weight I could hardly lift it. And I would target and isolate every muscle I could.

    My brothers method was go as head as you absolutely can from the start no warm up and push hard as you possibly can. We both got the body’s we wanted but 12th grade year he overstressed his body to the point where he had major medical issues that he still has to this day I’m 33 and he’s 32. I went on to being able to squat 1,200 pounds and deadlift 685 pounds my 12th grade year my benchpress wasn’t as good as mikes but I definitely had him on leg day😂 I’m 5’5” my brother is 6’2” his extreme workout lead him to heart problems stomach problems and idk how he did this one but he lost a testicle due to trying to squat over 1,000 pounds to catch me I have short huge legs he has bird legs the stress he put on him self created his problems

  11. At the end of each bodybuilder he said they were dominant in the 80s and 90s and frequently found themselves competing against each other literally said the same thing for everybody Builder, why they didn't get on with Mike😂
