MIKE MENTZER: THE LIGHTER SIDE

Published 2022-12-18
Mike Mentzer had a very quick wit and dry sense of humor. This video contains some examples of this that remind of some of the laughs we shared over the years. The material is excerpted from certain of Mike's bodybuilding seminars that I attended as well as some clips of the humorous interaction between he and Boyer Coe while the two were working at Nautilus in 1983.

"Mike and Boyer" ... the buddy cop movie we've always wanted ...

He had a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor. He kind of had an unassuming charisma about him. Smart as hell, too!!

I used to train 6 days a week and I would constantly feel fatigued also would have no life outside of the gym. But after discovering you , I learned about HIT and now I train hard with brief workouts. I feel great and look the best I’ve ever looked physicallly. Thank you John Little for providing us the wisdom of Mike Mentzer

So nice to see this side of Mike ! Making his points with a little dry humor makes his advice even more memorable...!

Mentzer is the type of guy who can make anyone laugh while he almost never laughs
-
Such a cool and interesting character. It pains me to know that he’s passed. He seemed like a good man.

Thank you John little for introducing me to Mike Mentzer. Im sure you have heard first hand some of the life philosophies and theories that Mike had. I can sense in his words that his mind was infatuated with discovering man’s purpose in an extremely logical manner. Is there anything specific the two of you conversed about regarding this that you can share? I would love to hear how he viewed humanity or why we are here. Thank you Mr. Little

I can remember my phone consultations with Mike like they were yesterday. He had a very "dry" sense of humor. I'm thrilled that you, John, have kept him alive!! Appreciate your efforts for sure. Also, is there a way to re-purchase the study you did about 15 years ago regarding muscle growth and recovery? If I recall it was titled the- Nautilus North Study?? You were using the bod-pod or something similar to record lean body mass increases of the participants and the time period it took to increase LBM.
