Mike Mentzer again. It was one of the first pictures I ever saw of the guy that first inspired me to get bigger. I don't aspire to be a monster, but he taught me how to move weights around the right way.
At first, almost ten years ago, I just lifted weights. Then I read everything by this guy and it changed my game. A lot of people are Arnold fans, but to me Mike Mentzer is #1. I love this guy.
When other people say it, I don't judge. When people tell me I'm wasting my time though... I know they're not friends and I don't need that kind of negativity lol.
