MIKE MENTZER: CALORIES - NOT PROTEIN #mikementzer #gym #nutrition #motivation #musclegrowth To learn more about Mike Mentzer be sure to visit his official website at www.mikementzer.org In “Calories, Not Protein: Mike Mentzer’s Forgotten Lesson in Muscle Growth,” we revisit one of Mentzer’s most profound yet misunderstood teachings — that it’s not protein, but total caloric intake, that fuels true muscular growth. Drawing on his legendary seminars and audio lectures, this presentation reveals how Mentzer dismantled bodybuilding’s greatest myth: the belief that more protein equals more muscle. With unmatched logic and scientific clarity, he showed that every macronutrient — protein, carbs, and fat — shares the same energetic law: only a positive calorie balance can build new tissue. Viewers should watch this video to understand how Mentzer’s reasoning, grounded in physics and biology rather than marketing hype, anticipated modern nutritional science by decades. Whether you’re a natural trainee, a fan of Mentzer’s Heavy Duty philosophy, or simply tired of fitness misinformation, this video delivers a rational, evidence-based blueprint for growth — one that honors Mike’s enduring message: you can’t build muscle out of thin air.
