ONE brutally heavy set that makes you throw up and leaves you unconscious for 3 hours. Then take 5 to 6 months off
nigga dont got nipples
>>77477757>Then take 5 to 6 months offthat would be overtraining
>>77477769No, nipples are for women.
>>77477771I heard a retarded female one time who was absolutely convinced her male cat (it had testicles and was mounting everything in sight) was a female because it had nipples
That's probably how he died in his 50s, doing his one super rep for the decade
>>77478025Kek
He looked like a nice and decent guy, but Jesus Christ could he be more dramatic about the Olympia he lost
How much of him is a meme vs the reality? Is his fitness advice good? Should I read his books?
>>77478451He was 95% correct about everything
One brutal failure with a broken neck and rest forever
>>77478476but your corpse will be jacked like skeletor
>>77478451his advice is fine if you are a juiced up roidtranny, but nattys need higher frequency than he suggests to make progress.
>>77477757I've always made the biggest gains after taking a few weeks off. Maybe he's onto something.
>>77477757>mom, I posted it again!
>>77478451He gave the most terrible and counterproductive advice ever was was ignored or laughed at for decades until a few years ago when zoomers started making tiktoks about him and retards took him seriously
>>77479015you sound DYEL
>>77479122Post body and show me what a typical Mentzer fan looks like then
>>77479015I asked Claude and it said that muscles don't fully rebuild with increased strength until up to 10 days after the exercise. Mentzer was right. Presumably the 3+ days per week is industry strategic to sell gym memberships, more PT sessions, protein shakes etc.
>>77479311Has Clod beat Pokemon Red yet?
>>77479315Doubt it, it's not really good at that sort of stuff
>>77477757he was fat and he was smokinghe let himself go in the 90sboth he and his brother stopped working outthey both looked awful near the end of their lives
https://youtu.be/lXOwJFjcLEI?t=4013he could have done dead hangs or planks or something to keep himself from looking like this lmao

>>77479818Yellow fever chuds deserve the rope
>>77479818That has nothing to do with the thread topic
>>77478451He used scientific terms incorrectly which made it look more scientific than it actually was. I can think of several examples.>supercompensationThis is the single factor fitness model (train -> recover -> superadapt -> repeat) which was outdated even at the time he wrote his book. It's also borrowed from some psychiatry bullshit so it's not even really specific to training. What muscles undergo is a form of "adaptive reconstruction", so they are adapting AS they recover, not after, like a callus. This one is important because it's the basis of his, "do one set of calves every 2 weeks" shit later on.>glycolic contractionsHigh intensity, strength forward work does secondarily work off the glycolic oxygen independent energy systems (fat is useless) but the primary energy mechanism is the phosphagen system. Endurance athletes generally have to worry about glycogen reuptake more than bodybuilders/strength athletes due to the nature of their training being more "high intensity interval training" than steady state contractions. When you go lift, the amount of time you're actually doing effort is very small.>random liesIn one of the books he claims his brother just walked into a gym in a t-shirt and shorts and casually squatted over 900lbs and then left, with no warm-up. It was completely irrelevant to include that lie but bodybuilders pretty much unanimously have ego disorders causing them to lie about everything. It puts all of his "trust me bro" claims into question.The things that stood the test of time that he was an early proponent for was split training being as effective as full-body or even upper/lowers done 6 days a week as was usual in his era. He's still the only bodybuilder I've ever seen question why the fuck everyone thinks Jesus will help them hyper-recover on Sunday, since every dyel reddit PPL has Sunday off thinking that solves all questions of overtraining.
>>77478304He said he didn’t deserve to win but the other guys did.
>>77479311>I asked ClaudeLmao>and it said that muscles don't fully rebuild with increased strength until up to 10 days after the exercise.So what?
>>77477757>Do one rep to total failure>collapse into a coma for 12 months>wake after 12 months>it's time for another rep>repeat
