Mike Mentzer Collection (Bodybuilding)

[Fireball]

New Year’s resolutions are about a month away, and gyms nationwide will be filled with people intent on getting fit and trim. They will go to the gym enthusiastically day after day, week after week, month after month...only to abandon the whole effort, perhaps by summer. Why? Mike Mentzer provided the answer: overtraining. More important, Mentzer provided the solution: downregulating the volume and frequency of your workouts as you progress.

Mike Mentzer read Atlas Shrugged in 1977. He then went on to win the Mr. Universe title (1978) and the heavyweight class in the Mr. Olympia contest (1979) before being knocked out of the sport by establishment favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger and his judges in the 1980 Mr. Olympia contest.

Mentzer all but disappeared from the bodybuilding scene after his disappointing 4th place in the 1980 Mr. Olympia contest despite being at his all-time peak conditioning. During his absence he mastered Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy and Arthur Jones’ "Less is More" bodybuilding philosophy. He then began applying this material to his personal training clients. This would enable him to evolve his own bodybuilding philosophy from Heavy Duty to High-Intensity Training.

Mike Mentzer was the first and only person to rip out mysticism from weightlifting and bodybuilding exercise science. He then integrated his new findings into a complete system of bodybuilding that is free of mysticism, irrationality, distortions, pragmatism. Mentzer revealed earth's first-and-only fully conceptual, non-mystical system of weightlifting and bodybuilding science. It is valid and applicable to every human being regardless of body type. Tragically, Mentzer died hours after completing his final masterwork -- never being able to see the success of his lifelong effort.

The following materials reveal the evolution of his philosophy as well as reveal his numerous expositions on epistemology, ethics, politics, environmentalism and more. But most important, he reveals a rational approach to exercise that anyone can use to get in shape without the debilitating effects of overtraining.
