MIKE MENTZER: NUTRITION FOR BUILDING MUSCLE

In this video, Mike Mentzer explains why consuming calories above your maintenance level is absolutely essential to building muscle mass. If you continue to consume a maintenance level of calories you might actually be frustrating the requirements of the body’s growth process.

NOTE: The history of bodybuilding would be impossible to relate without the contributions of the many great photographers who captured the iconic images that immortalized the champions and inspired countless generations.Lensmen such as Russ Warner, Artie Zeller, Bob Gardner, Wayne Gallasch, Jimmy Caruso, Chris Lund, Gary Bartlett, Mike Neveux and John Balik advanced and popularized the sport through their art. I want to particularly acknowledge the support of John Balik, who has graciously allowed me to use many of his copyrighted photographs in this video (and others on this channel).
