This may be the most important communication Mike Mentzer ever delivered. At a time when the entire culture was advocating more and more exercise, Mike, perhaps, due to his pre-med background, was arguing that this could be medically dangerous.
You can imagine his surprise when he read the latest (1995) offering from the founder of aerobics (indeed, the man who minted the very term), Dr. Ken Cooper, which stated that overtraining was not only dangerous, but life-threatening. The good doctor had come around to Mike's side of the ledger and was no longer advocating vigorous exercise to be performed every day (as Joe Weider and other bodybuilders had believed and promoted for decades). Mike had actually written about the dangers of overtraining as far back as the late 1970s and continued writing and lecturing about its dangers during the 1980s and 90s. And yet, despite Mike’s efforts, as well as the about-face that Dr. Ken Cooper performed with regard to how often one should engage in demanding exercise, the general public for the most part has ignored the message and continue to do so at their peril.
