+ 1 Mentzer and Meth
ad
I've heard a lot of stories about some people Mike Mentzer in particular using meth as a pre-workout. Having had some brushes with it dealing with addiction in the past, I genuinely don't get how that would even work. It completely messes up your sleep and appetite for days after and there's a finite amount of training you can do to induce hypertrophy so it's not like you can go and fuck yourself up SO much that the recovery period would carry over a significant amount. How would it not just mess everything up?

I’d say that using meth is completely feasible while training. A lot of the time, these drugs are cut with other substances so depending on what else there is, it will only fuel the obsession. Also, legal drugs like Adder**l are almost identical to meth on a molecular lever minus 1 molecule. That is used to help people focus because of ADHD etc.. The drug use and training makes sense but the drug use plus nutrition, sleep, well being and everything else doesn’t.
I used Ephedrine as a pre wo for years. Never had any problems, but I believe that's what is used to make meth.
FartDracula good topic my man that I've always wondered about. Ole Mike Mentzer should of at least been crowned 1980 Mr. Olympia but Joe Weirder/Arnold politics played a part with that lol.
Anyways Mike was basically a walking lab experiment from the stories I've heard so this story doesn't surprise me a bit. Now FartDracula I'm not familiar with meth but I can believe what u say about it so not sure how this dude made it work. Personally I think going that far for a pre-workout is crazy than a mofo! But Mike wanted to be ahead of everyone else I guess. To his credit the guy was a bit of a mad scientist too, just listen to his theories and ideas. Anyways what's really strange was he and his brother died one day apart I believe. Mike was a bit reckless but overall I think he was good for bodybuilding community
Probably was doing small amounts.
That shit that was basically methb used to be in pre workout.
Bro he became homeless it did fuck him up in time
Maybe he was taking baby hits lmao. I’m good of that tho. Coffee and some Annie will do the trick.
Annie?
I meant anavar. Been pulsing it. Bought to try that with some sdrol.
I think he means Anavar, don't quote me on that though.
Correct!
It took me WAY too long to figure out what you meant by Annie.
Lmao it happens sometimes
There is a lot of conflicting info on this. The thing ghat I’ve heard is that the one guy who claims to have first hand seen mike using meth didn’t actually have anything to do with him during the period he claims that he witnesses him using BUT pretty much everyone agrees that Mike did get prescription stims from his doc at the time. Having been an enthusiastic meth user for about a year at the end of my addiction I can say that I can’t imagine anyone using it regularly and still being able to train to the level that Mentzer did. It’s hard enough to force yourself to eat a couple bananas a day and stop fucking and smoking meth for long enough to go buy cigarettes, let alone actually train and eat well enough to see any progress.

Goes over first hand accounts of using with him.
LOTS of stimulants
Feel like this got boosted back into the mainstream from Dr.Mike mentioning it a little while back haha
I'm gonna give that a watch once I get off work. I have mixed feelings bout Dr. Mike.
