To learn more about Mike Mentzer's life, legacy and teachings, please visit: www.hituni.com/about/mike-men...
I’ve had a lot of requests to post the entire video interview that Mike did in 1991, when he had just started his personal training business.
I had originally posted this in two parts about a year ago, but not everyone has seen both parts. So, here is the complete 1991 interview that Mike did in Los Angeles. Among the topics covered are:
* Training for size versus training for definition
* Steroids and bodybuilding
* Dieting to lose body fat
* Cardiovascular benefits from weight training
* Training requirements for women and men
* Do all bodybuilders aspire to be movie stars?
* How Mike only trained for two hours a week in preparation for the 1980 Mr. Olympia contest
* The satisfaction Mike derives from passing on his knowledge as a personal trainer
For those wondering what it was like to hang out with Mike and shoot the shit about exercise, nutrition, etc., this video will give you some idea.
To see more of Mike Mentzer check out these videos by Wayne Gallasch of GMV:

He smiled pleasantly, and I continued on my course down to the Marina breakwater.

This is VERY rare and very surprising to see, especially given the date this was aired. Both the guest AND the hosts are full of intelligent and interesting insight, questions, points of view and reflections on reality. Truth is told here, unflinchingly, openly and objectively. What a truly GREAT interview, what truly great questions asked by the hosts, and many of the topics and information conveyed and shed light upon are just as relevant and pertinent today as they were back then. The only exception to this is that the information and advice relating to diet is very narrow, limited and dated, compared to what is known about nutrition today, not just as it applies to muscle building, but as it applies to general health also. That aside, Bravo indeed !

IMO Mentzer deserved to win the 1980 Olympia but he got shafted because he criticized Joe Weider's high volume training routines and phony supplements which were a staple of his magazine. Had Mentzer won the Olympia then Weider's entire business empire would have lost credibility and Joe wasn't going to let that happen. No doubt Mike's health decline was at least in part caused by Weider destroying his bodybuilding career.

Completely agree That's why he not only didn't let Mike win which he deserved..but also made him 5th.. He deared Mike even in top 3 can catch a lot of attention and be a threat

I somehow have doubt about the role of some big fishes behind the death of Mentzer brothers..just 2 days apart Because Mike was kind of being a trend with his revolutionary training principles

It was around 1980 that I competed in the Mr Minnesota contest. And Mike was the guest poser. The night before, they had a get together which ended up being a Q&A with Mike. The only thing I remember about the Q&A was his response to how much protein you needed. He claimed around 60 grams.. chicken fish, etc. He actually looked normal size in street clothes but when he posed it was way different. He was awesome. And his listed height of 5-8 is probably close. I stood next to him backstage and with no shoes he was a little shorter than I was. And I was 6-0.

Such an articulate human being. I wish he lived longer so he can continue sharing his huge knowledge.

I notice he speaks very well, but I also notice that when he speaks when you think he is going to say more, he stops, this mean because he just get straight to the point and not beating around the bush, I like that about him.

The bluntness of MIke *in the early 90s* about the prevalence of steroid usage, its necessity to compete, and the admission that roid rage is a result of that persons personality and not the drug is so fucking ahead of its time.
