Mentzer had an incredible physique in his prime and injected revolutionary ideas into the BB world in terms of training volume and intensity.

Although I don't totally agree with all his training principles, I do believe they hold validity at many levels and it's unqestionable he's trained some of the best.

The modern sport of BB has lost one of it's fathers.

(This is in poor taste, I know, but what the hell)

He'd been thinking about it for months. But what would Ayn think? All his ideals and morals out the window.... He decided to do it anyway. he had to know. He snuck into a local gym and performed a two and a half hour workout including supersets. After the workout he dropped dead.

Apparently he was right. The human body cannot take more than 30 min of total exercise a week. If pushed harder, it simply self destructs.
