Editing Mike Mentzer (section)

==Final years and death==
In the late 1980s, Mentzer returned to training bodybuilders and writing for ''[[Iron Man (magazine)|Iron Man]]'' magazine and spent much of the 1990s regaining his stature in the bodybuilding industry. Mentzer had met [[Dorian Yates]] in the 1980s and made an impression on Dorian's bodybuilding career. Years later, when Yates won Joe Weider's "Mr. Olympia", he credited Mike's "Heavy Duty" principles for his training. Mike, his brother Ray, and Dorian formed a clothing company called "MYM" for Mentzer Yates Mentzer, also known as "Heavy Duty Inc", in 1994. MYM was based on the success of Don Smith's "CrazeeWear" bodybuilding apparel. The three principals wanted to capitalize on the physically fit lifestyle, which today has gone mainstream. With the blessing and promotion of [[Joe Weider]], the trio manufactured and distributed their own line of [[Cut and sew|cut-and-sew]] sportswear.<ref name="Bob Burns" />
