Mike Mentzer Part 1 - Sides A and B

Mike Mentzer Part 2 - Sides A and B

Mike Mentzer Part 3 - Sides A and B


Mentzer's first bodybuilding competition was a local one in 1969. In 1971 he placed 10th at the AAU Mr. America. Mentzer took several years off from competition, placing third in the 1975 Mr. America, winning the competition the next year. He also won the 1977 North America championships in Vancouver, British Columbia, and competed a week later at the 1977 Mr. Universe in Nimes, France placing second.

In 1978, Mentzer won the Mr. Universe in Acapulco, Mexico with a perfect score of 300, turning professional that year. In late 1979 he won the heavyweight class of the Mr. Olympia, again with a perfect 300 score, but he lost in the overall competition to Frank Zane. He placed fifth in the 1980 Mr. Olympia, retiring the same year at the age of 29.

Following the loss at the 1980 Mr. Olympia, Mentzer began using amphetamines to improve performance and deal with a hectic lifestyle. He left his position at Weider Publications shortly after his loss at the 1980 Mr. Olympia contest, eventually getting a job in 1985 as publisher and editor-in-chief of the newly launched WorkOut magazine, a venture of Stewart Communications Inc. in Tarzana, California. When the magazine failed during the same year as his father's death, Mentzer suffered a breakdown.[1] Stories began to surface of Mentzer exhibiting very erratic behavior and being arrested by the police, with many of these stories reported in magazines.[2]

Mentzer was also regularly institutionalized between 1985 up until 1990, when he finally kicked his amphetamine habit. Drug free, Mentzer returned to training bodybuilders and writing for Ironman magazine and spent much of the 1990s regaining his stature in the bodybuilding industry.

Mike, his brother Ray & Dorian Yates formed a clothing company "MYM" Mentzer Yates Mentzer aka "Heavy Duty Inc" in 1994. MYM was based on the success of Don Smiths' "CrazeeWear" body building apparel. The three principals wanted to capitalize on the fitness lifestyle, and with the blessing and promotion of Joe Weider the trio manufactured and distributed their own line of cut & sew sportswear.

Death

Just hours after completing a bodybuilding training video (entitled "HIT"), Mike Mentzer died on June 10, 2001 in Rolling Hills, Ca. He was found dead in his apartment by his younger brother and fellow bodybuilder Ray Mentzer due to heart complications. Two days later, his brother Ray also died in his sleep after complications from his long battle with Berger's disease.

Philosophy

Mentzer was an Objectivist and insisted that philosophy and bodybuilding are one and the same, integrating his philosophy with his writings. He adapted the concepts developed by Arthur Jones and Casey Viator[1] in an effort to perfect them into his own theory of bodybuilding, with a goal of achieving the full potential available to a drug-free individual within the shortest amount of time.[3]

Mentzer's approach used high-intensity strength training, using brief, infrequent and intense bouts of exercise to maximize results, and as part of his philosophy advocated for the use of reason to allow individuals to live happy, mature lives with diverse interests.[4]

His approach to nutrition differed from the standard advice given to bodybuilders, emphasizing carbohydrates over protein and recommending balanced meals from the four food groups.[5]

Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates

It is a common misconception that Mike Mentzer was Dorian Yates's mentor and Trainer.

Mike first met champion British bodybuilder Dorian Yates at Gold's Gym in Venice, California, U.S.A. in 1992 at a photo shoot, after Yates had won his first Mr Olympia contest.[6] In years to come, Yates acknowledged Mike Mentzer as 'an influence' but denied that he was a student of Mentzer, stating instead that he learned principles from many sources throughout his career and that it is incorrect to say that he had any particular mentor or trainer.[7] Yates estimated that he trained with Mike Mentzer on around three occasions, listened to Mentzer's theories and exchanged ideas. Likewise, the writings of Mentzer's former employer Arthur Jones were also an influence on Dorian Yates but neither Jones' High Intensity Training(H.I.T.) nor Mentzer's Heavy Duty Training were the methods used by Yates to build his body. Yates came up with his own unique style of training ie. more volume than H.I.T. or Heavy Duty but far less volume than that advocated by many bodybuilders and trainers of the day such as Joe Weider and Vince Gironda.

Mr. Olympia Larry Scott - Sides A and B

Larry Scott, “The Legend”, established and personified bodybuilding’s beach Adonis image, and duly became the sport’s Golden Boy after winning the IFBB Mr. America title in 1962 and the IFBB Mr. Universe in 1964. He was the first-ever IFBB Mr. Olympia in the contest’s initial two years of life, 1965 and 1966.

Joe Weider’s brainchild of a competition got the perfect first-time winner in Larry. Of all the Hall of Fame inductees, perhaps Scott started with the least raw potential. Told he was too narrow-shouldered – a condition then considered insurmountable – he persevered and packed on prodigious mounds of delt muscle which, coupled with the greatest arms in bodybuilding, enabled him to present front double-biceps shots that worked up a crowd like no other.

Witnesses still say that the audience reaction to his 1966 IFBB Mr. Olympia entrance was the most vociferous and emotional ever seen at a bodybuilding contest. A devout Mormon, Larry lives in Salt Lake City, where he runs his own bodybuilding advisory company.

Nutritionist Keith Klein - Sides A and B

The Institute of Eating Management (IEM) was opened in 1990 under the direction of nutritionist Keith Klein CN,CCN, a leader in nutrition and weight loss.

His concept - to combine several multi disciplinary approaches. From his prior work experiences in dietetics, he created an entity that covers a wide range of different nutritional needs.

Three influences affected his philosophy.

1. Medical

Keith's years at the Institute of Specialized Medicine taught him the important role that nutrition and exercise could play in restoring a person's health in conjunction with traditional medicine.

Patients that incorporated sound nutritional advice in conjunction with medical modalities improved much faster and felt better.

In various cases the doctors opted to use nutrition and exercise before medicating their patients. The results were overwhelmingly positive.

IEM currently works very closely with many of Houston's finest physicians. They have referred many of their own patients to IEM because they trust the care and advice that IEM offers their clients.

2. Psychology

At IEM, we don't psychoanalyze our clients.

However, we do understand the connection between eating behaviors and the mind. Our job is to point out the connections between your defective thoughts regarding food and your behavior. Then, we help you replace those thoughts with positive, self directing thoughts.

While working with psychiatrist Dr. John H. Simms, Keith conceived his work on the Psychology of Eating Management. He has successfully helped a number of people reach their fitness and life goals.

3. Sports Medicine

IEM has honed it techniques to work for a wide array of athletes. We have worked with many of the

•Houston Rockets

•Houston Comets

•Houston Aero's hockey team

•Olympic gold medallists

•Olympic sprinters

•Professional Bodybuilders

There is no other entity in Texas that has produced more winners than IEM.

It's this kind of experience that allows us to offer such well rounded information so you can reach your goals. So remember, when you think of weight loss, your health or athletics, think IEM.

Dr. Michael Colgan - Sides A and B

Established in 1974, the Colgan Institute is a research, consulting, and educational facility concerned with effects of nutrition and training on sports performance and on inhibition of aging. We have published more than 50 research papers, two university texts, 18 popular books, and more than 500 popular articles. Our monthly newsletter goes to subscribers throughout the world.

We have provided nutrition and training programs, and anti-aging programs, to over 11,000 athletes, including many Olympians, and more than 55,000 people worldwide, some of whom have now been following our advice for more than 30 years. We have registered Colgan Power Program Trainers throughout the world that have passed our four-year training program. We provide consultant services in human and animal nutrition, design of nutritional formulations, and individual programs in nutrition, exercise training, and regenerative medicine. We have published two books in 2009, Strong Bones and The Perimenopause Solution and have four new books scheduled for publication in 2010 and 2011.

Over the last 30 years we have developed and continuously revised and updated our supplement formulas in accord with the great advances made in nutrition science. We stay on the cutting edge of science to provide the essential nutrients for all our clients, many who have been with us for 20 years or more. Since completion of the human genome in 2003, breakthrough discoveries on the effects of nutrients on expression of the DNA code, have radically changed nutrition science. So, in late 2008 we completely revised all our supplement packs. We are proud to offer only the highest quality supplements, manufactured to the highest quality standards.

We pride ourselves on providing not only the best quality supplements available, but also the freshest. Like all good quality food, supplements do deteriorate with time. We receive shipments from our manufacturers weekly, and our supplement packs are only assembled when you order them. Most bottled supplements have spent weeks, if not months, sitting on shelves in warehouses and finally in stores. Because we assemble packs to order, please be aware of our order processing time.

John Parillo - Sides A and B

For more than 25 years Parrillo Performance has been about creating the best products, training techniques and diet system for those who truly want to make a difference in how they look and feel. From the average individual who wants to lose 40 pounds to professional bodybuilders looking to make their mark, Parrillo Performance works.

Parrillo Performance products have always been created with a “food first” mentality. Your body will achieve goals best with food…period. Having said that, there is a time when people want to achieve more, whether it be losing an additional 10 pounds or becoming the next top women’s fitness competitor. It is then that supplements will become an integral part of a sound nutrition program.

Parrillo Products are and always have been the best in the industry. Top competitors visit Parrillo because they know that the supplement line is the only one that fits into a strict, results-based regimen. It is this same line that has helped so many achieve weight loss (fat loss) goals quickly.

Having worked with thousands of individuals from Moms wanting to lose baby weight to bodybuilders and even NCAA football players, I’ve learned that significant time is saved by putting them right on a Parrillo training, nutrition and supplement program. Results come surprisingly fast to those who eat and train smart. Many of those who follow Parrillo’s program learn how to make a complete lifestyle change, much like I have for over 20 years on the program.

People often ask me what to eat, how to train and what supplements are the best. My answer has always been that I can’t answer that in 5 minutes, but if you really want to know, go to Parrillo. It’s been the only referral of any kind where I’ve been 100% confident that there’s simply nothing better available..anywhere.

Parrillo training techniques are unlike anything you’ve ever seen or experienced. For athletes, you’ll be pushed to limits you never thought possible, whether you’re a top MMA fighter or triathlete. If you’re just looking to get in shape from being extremely “out of shape”, the same techniques can be adjusted for your goals. Results will come equally as fast. Many of the “average” people I’ve worked with, who wanted to lose a few pounds and get in shape, achieved more than they ever thought possible.

Parrillo’s nutrition program is surprisingly simple at its core because it has a foundation of food. The key is to understand how to combine your foods, when to eat them and it what quantities. Every person is different but I have yet to work with anyone who didn’t get quick results from the core nutrition program and that was with almost no supplements.

As your goals change the diet will change as well. Don’t plan on being hungry, because this is a metabolism building, fat burning, muscle creating program based on lots of healthy calories.

Top athletes from every sport have come to Parrillo to gain an edge on their competition. It is this testing ground that helped Parrillo to create the most potent and effective products, techniques and nutrition programs.

But you don’t have to be a top athlete to use Parrillo programs. They’re for anyone who wants fast results, so if you’re just looking to lose a little extra weight this year, try Parrillo and you will likely achieve much more than you thought possible.
