Talk:Mike Mentzer

message: Respectfully, I'm not sure that Mike Mentzer is notable for his observations on Kant or Rand. A basic biography and summary of his bodybuilding accomplishments are probably sufficient.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.228.166.242 (talk) 20:03, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

message: I removed two images watermarked with "moneywellspent.com". While they claim to be self-made, they're clearly not (the image of Yates and Mentzer can be found online w/o the watermark). Whoever uploaded the images should re-upload them without the watermarks. --Yankees76 (talk) 20:51, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

message: The only reference for the stories of erratic behavior admits that "Some of these stories are true, some are not."  Since it is not clear which are true and which are not, how much weight should stories of this nature be given in a Wikipedia article? Acts 1:8 (talk) 01:03, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bibliography 

message: "Mentzer took the bodybuilding concepts developed by Arthur Jones and attempted to perfect them. Through years of study, observation, knowledge of stress physiology, the most up-to-date scientific information available, and careful use of his reasoning abilities, Mentzer devised and successfully implemented his own theory of bodybuilding."
It just doesn't sound objective or professional. Would suggest more scrutiny on this article
"Diet has always been as important, if not more, as weight-training for bodybuilders. However, in his book Heavy Duty Nutrition, Mentzer demonstrated that nutrition for athletes did not need to be nearly as extreme as the bodybuilding industry would lead one to believe. His recommended diets were well balanced, and he espoused eating from all four food groups, totaling four servings each of high-quality grains and fruits, and two each of dairy and protein daily, all year-round.[3]"
''
What did Mentzer 'demonstrate' about nutrition that was useful/novel/successful ? Did he demonstrate (clearly show the existence of truth) ? Or did he have some ideas that he put forward in a book. Anyone can write a book.
''
"Jones pioneered the principles of high-intensity training in the late 1960s. He emphasized the need to maintain perfectly strict form, move the weights in a slow and controlled manner, work the muscles to complete failure (positive and negative), and avoid over-training. Casey Viator had seen fantastic results training under the direction of Jones, and Mentzer became very interested in this training philosophy.[4] Eventually, however, Mentzer concluded that even Jones was not completely applying his own principles, so he began investigating a more full application. He began training clients in a near experimental manner, evaluating the perfect number of repetitions, exercises, and days of rest to achieve maximum benefits.[1]"''
Vague, nonsense. Is this HIT ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.139.250 (talk) 19:31, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.

message: Uh, really? In what way was Mike Mentzer a philosopher? Because he had beliefs about things?
I really don't think that he should be described as a philosopher simply because he had certain philosophical views - every single person does. He holds no credentials related to philosophy and has no publications on philosophy. Authoring a book that includes, to a minor degree, the thought and scientific processes behind participation in a sport is hardly worthy of the title philosopher.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.29.148.95 (talk) 23:20, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: Are you recommending a change to something? The article doesn't state that he was Mr. Olympia but rather says that he won the Heavyweight Division Mr. Olympia in 1979, losing to Frank Zane (the Lightweight Division winner) in the Overall Mr. Olympia category.
