This April 1980 issue of Joe Weider’s Muscle Builder Power Magazine features Mike Mentzer on the cover, showcasing one of the most influential thinkers in bodybuilding during the height of his competitive career. Highlighting his signature High-Intensity Training method, this issue provides a wealth of expert guidance, athlete profiles, and cutting-edge training philosophies from the golden era of the sport.
Mentzer headlines the instruction section with “High Intensity,” while his brother Ray contributes a brutally honest training reflection in “I Cried for My Pecs.” Casey Viator returns with “Casey’s Back,” rounding out a powerful trio of muscle-building articles. The issue also explores nutrition and conditioning with contributions from Franco Columbu, Joe Weider, and Dr. James Wright, alongside articles on recovery, protein, and drug use in the sport.
Rounding out the features are in-depth looks at Lou Ferrigno (“Two Faces of Ferrigno”), Bob Birdsong, and the Diamond Cup competition, as well as lifestyle topics like “Sex and the Bodybuilder” by Boyer Coe and “Feeding Zane” by Armand Tanny. Women’s fitness is also well-represented, with contributions from Betty Weider, Armand Tanny, and Pete Grymkowski.
