This book is the answer to the question: Who is Mike Mentzer? His greatest contributions to bodybuilding science, his having the guts to stand up to Arnold and corporate bodybuilding, his advanced training techniques -- everything! It made me appreciate Mentzer that much more. John Little together with Joanne Sharkey has done a fantastic job of making Mike's ideas sparkle with new radiance and relevance. The photos are great (I I haven't seen most of them before) and very inspirational. Little, a long time close friend of Mentzer's, speaks from the heart about his friend but also uses air-tight logic to present his points. The Consolidation Routine is a killer -- especially when used with the advanced technique of Infitonic! Long live Heavy Duty! This book is a long overdue tribute to a very great bodybuilder and an even greater human being.
