If he hadn't lectured and shared his knowledge at a later age I wouldn't have known him unfortunately. I'm forever grateful to young and old Mentzer

he had cardiovascular disease, and ray had kidney trouble, both claimed their lives

This is why you don’t abuse steroids. It’s not worth it to your long term health

@@weeeeelad In general I would agree.. however the major causes of Mike and Rays health issues were mostly genetic and unhealthly lifestyles after bodybuilding

Sometimes you have to separate the art from the artist. This is all scientifically sound, and made Mike the champion that he was. The bitterness from the corruption of the industry didn’t help him with amphetamine abuse and genetic disease though. Do as Mike said, do not do as Mike did.

You’re very welcome. I’m glad you are enjoying the content.

This is a great question which needs answering!

About 1998 .

Use cables or dumbbells

Warm up on the second exercise before starting the super set

You don't do SuperSet for warmups because the purpose of a SuperSet is to exhaust a specific muscle group before a given exercise to force another set of (typically weaker) muscles to failure

Yea

In another video he said do one light warm up set, another moderate weight warm up set and finish with a more heavy weight warm up set. Then you do your working set to failure per exercise with a maximum of 4 exercises per muscle group.

Forget this shit, do normal workouts. Unless you are mega advanced and are on juice you can't get any gains from warmups+ 2 working sets.

@@zrpggamer not true. i am a natty and it works great

@@zrpggamerquite the contrary. This works better for the ‘non juicer’

He died 12 hours after filming this.

@@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE The video of Mike and Ray bullshiiting outside during this video shoot was priceless. They were there for each other at the end.

​@@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGEreally? that's fucking heartbreaking😢

Didn't live to see 9/11 A morbid curiosity makes me wonder what he'd have thought of it and the 20 years after.

That’s crazy. I could tell he didn’t look or sound all that well. He seemed “off”.

60-90 seconds between sets and 1-3 min changing workouts is what I usually hear. It all depends on you and your conditioning at that point. You may need longer rest periods for your breathing to slow down

if super setting, move to the next exercise as quickly as possible. If not, just rest until your breathing becomes somewhat regular.

I can only tell you what works for me and that’s to rest just long enough for normal breathing and heart rate to return

as much as you need

appreciate your responses guys. One more question though, for how long can I continue this routine? 2 months? 6 months? forever?

He said it himself at the end. Doing OHP or front raises would overworked the front delt since we're also doing incline presses and dips, plus I think there's is a little front delt activation in the lateral raise anyway

​@@damndaniel333And that's facts. That's why I got stretch marks on mines. Definitely overworked

It was what he recommended during the last four years of his life.

Have you noticed how all the fitness youtubers are now slowing their Reps down (Renaissance Periodization, Joni Shreve, Athlete X etc)? Because the research has finally caught up with Mike's knowledge: slow negatives (4-5 seconds) are the most important part for growth. And slowing the positive to 2-4 seconds shows both a) far less injuries and b) more growth. So yes, do it this slow. The positive can be faster as they aren't important for growth, but inch those Negatives for growth (so I go 2-3 seconds Up, 4-5 down).
