Mike Mentzer was a strikingly handsome man with a brilliant mind and a “perfect” physique — the first bodybuilder to receive a perfect score in both amateur and professional competitions. But he was also a man who wrestled with mental illness his entire life and ended up living on the streets and being sent to prison, but eventually finding it within himself to reboot his intellect and revolutionize bodybuilding training. Łukasz Muniowski has read John Little’s biography, which, he concludes, is not a simple hagiography or a thing for bodybuilding fans, but a story about an actual person, who lived, sweated and suffered while trying to achieve perfection in his craft.
