My good friend and strength coach Mike Mentzer passed away this weekend from a heart attack. Mike was world renowned as a bodybuilder, and more recently as being on the cutting edge of strength training. I know many fighters and martial artists who use his methods with great results. I just spoke with him last Friday, as he wanted to get the articles I had written about him for his website. He was to shoot a video on his training program over the weekend, but it was not to be. As a sidenote, his brother Ray was ill, and Mike was going to donate a kidney to him. Ray passed away last night.
Mike was full of life and enthusiasm on Friday, and we had many plans to work together in the future. For those who knew his work, it lives on. For those who don't, check it out. Enjoy each day!
