2000 calories day was probably Mike’s contest diet.<br><br>With his bodyweight and muscularity he’d be starving not eating 2700-3000 calories day for maintenance.

18 years old and I look up to Mike Mentzer all these gym influencers other people around my age look up to don’t really have the knowledge and mindset Mike had. He was truly ahead of his time great video aswell.

What nobody ever grasped is the fact when Mike spoke about 2k calories a day he was only speaking about the nutrients his mustasch needed if he combined that and his body he would be around 4,500 - 5,000 calories per day

He didn't have the bubble gut. It's part of why I try to keep calories below 2700 an usually only hit 1700-2000. Sure my body can chew threw 3k cal; but my gut expands to hold the foods.
