hallo serge and welcome! :)

i have some questions and it would be nice to know your professional answers!


1. there are some rumors about Mike Mentzer and his character. Can you please tell me what kind of person he was like and what you have personally experienced with him?

2. Should Mike Mentzer won the olympia 1980?
Mentzer Fans say that weider wantet to crush mike ... is something about that true or was Arnold also the best on stage at the Mr. O 1980?

3. Mentzer didnt go on low carb diet at the mr.o 1980. he said he went for carbs and got ripped and hard.
is this possible that you can gett ripped with NO low carb diet?
or did mentzer lie

4. what do you personally think about Heavy Duty? Why is it that people think it works? why cannot it work?

5. can someone training Heavy duty ever become Mr. O?

6. -> at my gym there is a guy who trains just 2 sets !!! one set deadlifts and one set dips!!!
what can i tell hin to convince hin that HD doesnt work?

we all just laugh at him ... he doesnt understand and says that mentzer and science proved that it doesnt take more!!

what would you say to such a "training"? how would you argue his statement that 1 set is enough?



you are one of my heros serge and it would be a very big honor for me if you can take some time and answer my 5 questions! :)

thank you
best regards

Sorry about the delay, but my computer was down for 2 weeks. SO:

1° About Mentzer, I knew him but not well enough to give you an opinion about his caracter.

2° No He could not beat Arnold, because evry comparation pose is Arnold favorite.

3° I think that he lies. because it is easy to undestand for someone to loose it fat, you have only one way, eat les calorie that you are burning, and as his training was so litle no way he could burn his fat by training. Or maybe he took some fat burner or other product which can have the same effect.

4° About havy duty training, I don't beleive in it, or the way they present it, I mean by that, they don't tell you which kind of product you have to take with it, you see what I mean. For example you have chiken in a cage and they cannot move or move just a litle bit and eat all day, but they grow too, but they don't tell you which kind of product they put in their food.

5° I think the answer 4° is the answer of this question too.

6° Just let him, after a few month he will realize by himself, that is the best skool. At least if he take something that you don't know. Maybe tell him that Mentzer died.

Keep training hard that is the only way.

The mass wouldnt like serges body, too. They think tennis players or whatever have huge muscles. everything more isnt ästetic in their eyes.

Of course i like serges or arnolds symetric physique more than these "aliens", but the mass wont see so much difference.
why do you give a shit about the mass anyway

@ serge i would like to know if you got any joint problems from bodybuilding?

---

Never, maybe because I never train with havy weight.

Hi Serge! Very cool that a legend like you joined this forum to answer some questions!

well, mine would sound like this.

Have you known Mike Mentzer? And what do you think about his training philosophy heavy duty? Is one Set training every 3 to 4 days, with High Intensity Training principles, really enough to build muscle mass?
Is his dieting suggestion like, eating according to RDA (high carb mid pro mid fats) in you opinion better than high protein diets like postet on FLEX and other magazines?

And plz look at this question rather from the view of a non-steroid-using bodybuilder.


thx in forward


*edit* I ve just seen that codename007 already postet a similar post like mine :D but I don't know if he is interested in the "natural" aspect, whether mike mentzer was on performance enhancing drugs or not (We all know he was, nothing bad of course).

Hello Serge!
:klatsch: I first want to gratulate you for what you are and of course what you have reached !
I think i have got a bit different question at all:
How does adrenalin affects your regeneration? Is it very catabolic to get sometimes adrenalinsurges (most of the times very smale ones)? And do you have any tipps how to stop them keep coming?
And hehe one more question, any trick/tipp to get your body into (a very) anabolic state (maybe a mental one? :) )

My training is based on my 3 POWERS which are "MENTAL POWER - EMOTIONAL POWER - PHYSICAL POWER" when you have those 3 POWERS in communion, everything is going fine for you, no need realy to think about anything, they come to you. About training, dieting, when to do it, and what to do. Therefore no ADRENALIN.
The must difficult is to have those POWERS in communion, I don't even know how I had them, I just realise after my success, how and why I reached this success. SO I REALIZED THAT MY INSTINCT OR IF YOU LIKE MY SUBCONSCIENT HAVE GUIDED ME.
So I am trying to tell every body what happened to me, that all, so they can try to have their own POWER in communion too.
