      @@kirilhristov5739 I do
      Biceps
      Barbell curl 6-10 X close grip pull down superset contacting biceps and pausing and slow eccentric to failure
      Also 2 sets of hammer curls should probably do less
      Triceps
      Rope or tricep pushdown x seated dip superset
      I usually do a set or two of overhead movements to failure (if I can, sometimes my elbows hurt a bit, if they do I stop)
      Chest
      Pec dec x incline dumbell chest press same 6-10 progressive overload
      Also 2 sets of either dumbell flys or flat dumbell chest press
      Shoulders
      Barbell shoulder press X lateral raises x 2
      Rear delt reverse flys (not pinching back) 2 sets to failure
      I can also throw a Arnold press to failure instead of one of those rear delt movement if I am wanting extra front delt activation
      Back
      Bent over row X middle grip lateral pulldown slow eccentric releasing weight up
      Also do 2 wide grip pull downs while leaning a bit back to work my upper back
      Legs
      Leg extension x goblet squat
      Lunges or extra set of squats
      Hamstring curl and some calf raises (not all of these) but I alternate on leg days but always the leg extension and squat superset the other stuff, I do if I have the energy
      By no means am I a gym rat, I do this all in my garage I love this workout bc I do 3 muscles per exercise every other day, then when I go on the road truck driving for 5-8 days, I don’t do any weight training I completely rest and recover bc I work for 5-8 days and take a week off of work for family and health.
      Hope that helps

      Honestly people just need to look into how to workout.
      I have personally warmed up this way for over 40 years.
      How can you go from say doing 2 light warmup sets then directly using your heavier working sets. Your central nervous system has not been primed yet to fire your muscles properly.

    Say what you want but H.I.T. is definitely the most EFFICIENT way to train and no one can intelligently argue against that point. Just 2 exercises for 1 heavy set each to failure; that's just 2 sets total for chest and you're done. Training this way it is not even physically possible to do more than one set per exercise. But hey, if you want to train all day in the gym with high volume for the same results then be my guest, that's your problem not mine. FYI, I have 51 years in the iron game as a bodybuilder and gym manager, and have trained literally THOUSANDS of people. H.I.T. still remains my favorite way to train for the best results.

    I did biceps today. I incorporated his bicep workout instead of the one that I’ve been following for the past 10 years. If you follow directions like he says and use proper form it will burn you out pretty quick. You really don’t even need to work out that long. 20 minutes I was done. My arms are still burning. Mike put a lot of emphasis on proper form and he is 100% correct it’s very important.

    In my experience, the first 3-5 weeks are spent really getting a feel for your "to failure" intensity. Knowing how it really feels in your muscles which, if done correctly, almost makes you want to throw your limbs from your body it burns so bad lol. And afterward, you are absolutely spent. Like falling asleep on the car ride home spent. Once you're there you can establish your baseline weight and really start making some gains. Mind you I still grew and had huge strength gains even in this learning phase.

    - 🏋 Warm-up is crucialbefore starting any exercise routine to prevent injuries and prepare the muscles.
    - 💪 Gradually increase weights during warm-up sets to prepare neuro-muscularly for heavier lifts.
    - 🛑 Keep the thumb wrapped around the bar to prevent shoulder injuries, especially crucial for beginners.
    - ⏳ Control the lifting cadence to ensure proper muscle engagement and prevent momentum.
    - 📈 Aim to increase strength in every workout session by either increasing weight or repetitions.
    - 🔄 Utilize rest-pause sets for maximum intensity, but they should be approached with caution, particularly for intermediate or advanced bodybuilders.
    - 💥 Focus on maximizing intensity rather than quantity of sets, as demonstrated by the effectiveness of just two intense sets.
    - 🚑 Intensity training, when executed correctly, can yield remarkable results even with a minimal number of sets.

    Gave it a try when I returned to the gym, although I warmed up normally then with 3 sets of chest flys with lighter dumbbells. Then 1 heavy work set on chest flys and incline dumbbell press. My chest workout literally took 10-15 minutes and it was sore for 6 days...

    A great vid and especially seeing and hearing Mike, however it shows an inherent issue with heavy duty hit etc in that to fully embrace it you need really dedicated training partners, especially for the forced/negative rep aspects , such a shame Mike and Ray were taken from us too early,

    Do you have a video where he does this but with flat bench press? I so need this, bruh. Trying to incorporate Mentzer's pace in my flat bench press is hard. I just don't know where exactly I should keep the weight as long as possible to stimulate muscle growth as much as I can do with deadlifts and squats.

  • @MikeMentzerHD
    @MikeMentzerHD 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    i cannot understand in mike ideal routine he said 1-3 reps on incline press and here he is doing rest pause set, is the 1-3 rep also rest pause set or what is 1-3 reps and why it is 1-3 reps? can anyone tell me please john! if you know thanks!

    • @HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE
      @HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Rest-Pause is a technique for advanced trainees (like Markus in the video) who are using large enough weights and putting forth such high-intensity of effort that the build up of lactic acid and other metabolites are such that they contraction process gets bogged down (sort of like pouring syrup on your keyboard). By taking a brief pause in between reps, you allow the vasculature to empty itself to some degree of these metabolites and continue on contracting in high-intensity fashion. Most trainees don't need this technique. The reason why Mike advocated lower reps in the compound movement (incline press) of the chest pre-exhaustion cycle is that you have already exhausted the chest from the isolation exercise (pec deck in this instance), and using the triceps (which weren't used in the isolation exercise) to force a few more contractions of your chest muscles. It's akin to performing forced reps at the end of a set just to ensure you've totally fatigued your chest. You don't want to simply recycle already fatigued fibers by using a lighter weight for more reps.
