Hi all,

6. Articles:

Different articles from muscle magazines like IronMan, Flex and Muscle & Fitness, and some articles downloaded from the Internet (for example from Mike′s official website www.mikementzer.com).

Thanks for all the nice compliments, guys! I must admit that after posting this, I was a bit afraid people might think I was just being boastful. 😉

Stevo,

If you want some advise about those Mentzer DVD′s, just ask anytime, okay? Some DVD′s have more practical value than others, which are just for fun and motivation.

omnicontraction,

You′re collection is impressive, too. Especially your books: awesome!

Could you please answer a few questions about them?

1. How do the routines in the old Heavy Duty courses like HD Arms and HD Chest and Back differ from Mike′s later routines? Are those booklets still avaiable and if so, do you know where to get them?

2. What′s the difference between the original HD and the revised HD from 1993? What was the routine in the original version?

3. How did you get all those older books from Mike?

4. Where did you find the Muscle Media 2000 Interview I?

5. What is the EAS Seminar?

Many thanks in advance!
