In less than a month I’ll be 76, in the last 10 months I’ve lost 60 pounds, for now a total of 110 pounds. Over the years I’ve accumulated several injuries including a broken back, arm, fingers and a broken sternum. Since I was 13 I’ve had manboobs and before they put me in a pine box I’ve going to achieve a muscular chest and chiseled look. I’ve also gone from a size 44 pants to 34 soon to become 32’s. I’m a total novice only working with bands and a couple 5LB weights and your guidance, I want to thank you for all your efforts in making these videos. There is more to this story but I’ve said to much already. Ending with so many thanks for your commitment to helping others achieve their goals. The very best
My best gains always came from high intensity training. Often times I would go back to the higher volume routines because the experts routinely stated that muscle hypertrophy was dependent on more volume than high intensity training advocated. For whatever reason the high volume stuff didn't get me stronger or any bigger, it just wore me out. I was a big Mentzer fan in the early 80's, nice to see he's getting some respect.
I’m glad to see Mentzer making a resurgence. I usually do 2 sets on most of the exercises but try to apply his principles to my training and my clients. I think it’s wise to build technique and intensity through volume initially and gradually introduce intensity over volume until over time, someone can channel maximum intensity into minimal volume.
Great video. as a 60 year old life long athlete, I now have chronic shoulder pain. Finding ways to maintain or even build a little muscle for a skinny old man, while minimizing stress on the shoulder is awesome!
Definitely going to try this! I like the attention to shoulder damage avoidance. For me that's important. I had a bit of pain in my right shoulder when I started getting into strength training about a month ago. I'm trying to build muscle at almost 50 and it's tough. Plus, trying to keep good form to avoid injury. Thank you!
Hi Jeff, first of all I'd like to say hi and thank you from a fan in Ecuador. Love your tips and workouts. I am enjoying this new exercises done in one rep, I'd like to ask if you could make a playlist of these and hopefully future of one rep exercises so they can be easily found. Thanks again for your videos. Keep up the good work 🤘🏿
Yes, more of these please. Started following this method a couple of months ago and seeing gains but not sure if I am hitting absolute failure on each exercise.
U are a God send Mike Mencer, and thanks AthleanX for demonstrating the 1Set workout, I sometime find my self struggling for time, this is is what I'll keep in Mind when I do my next in and out of the gym, Pls come out with more videos for other parts of the body also... Love from India 🇮🇳
One of the best treatments of high intensity I've seen! Brought by Jeff who knows his stuff! You could even do a high intensity legs with a barbell squat with safety pins for concentric failure or a heavy goblet or kettle bell squat where you can always drop the weight and remove the dread of the bar and focus on the reps. Wendler said his athletes build huge upper backs and biceps just holding heavy dumbbells for goblet squatting. Marty Gallagher advocates them. And you could do standing cf raises with them and even deadlift with heavy dumbbells that'd hit the back, grip, glutes and hamstrings. 2 or 3 exercises legs and entire lower body done
Mike mentzer method works for me in my 50s...heavy duty & 3-4 days btw workout. No more overtraining & i got to do other stuffs too...less time in the gym
I am 66 years old & have been using Mike's Heavy Duty training since when he first started promoting it in the late 70's. I like working out with balls to the wall intensity.
⭐Guy : Doctor, my Girlfriend is pregnant but we always use protection How is it possible? Doctor : Let me tell you a story: "There was once a Hunter who always carried a gun wherever he went. One day he took out his Umbrella instead of his Gun and went out. A Lion suddenly jumped in front of him. In order to scare the Lion, the Hunter used the Umbrella like a Gun, and shot the Lion, then it died! Guy : Nonsense! Someone else must have shot the Lion.. Doctor : Good! You understood the story. Next patient please.⭐
Fever dream suggestion: consult for toolmakers, so they can make their tools more ergonomically appropriate for tradesmen to avoid injury from repetitive use.
Semi-beginner here (training for 10 months so far this time), have been doing single sets to last rep short of failure in 10-20 rep range (have previous experience so can tell), biggest gains of my life - previously tried standard 3x10 many times. V interesting video.
Heres my issue that Im sure others may face. I train at home (well not now now. heart attack break...) but at home I cant go to full failure, because if I drop my DBs, there go my floors! I just put in the hard wood, so Im scared of damaging the floor! So I go to 2-3 RPR. Im probably going to start up again as beginer, so it wont matter but I was pretty shredded (noted even by the doctors at the ER, that were shocked at my age and how I look having a heart attack. Its congenital btw, no jab, just ticking tiime bomb!) Anyway, I do like the intensity of the 1 set, but I do like the longer work out, to mentally decompress. I have a routine that worked well for me and mom! (some of you guys were awesome about encouraging her at her age, and us working out at home! Its been a month post HA and Im ready to start up again, and mom will join too!)
Thanks for sharing this info. When I first started weightlifting I started on a Nautilus Circuit that hit every major muscle group. 1 set each machine - 3 times weekly. It gave me a great baseline of learning to breath and lift properly.
I train the Mentzer way, going past failure more than once is only beneficial if you’re on PED’s and can recover more quickly, as is the case with volume
"People train as hard as me, I know that for a fact, but they don't recover as hard as me, and that's where I get my advantage" -Eddie Hall Would you make a video on covering how to do the best recovery "sessions/days/sets" like massage, meals, hot-cold treatment, physio, hyperbolic treatment, etc. Thanks Jeff.
Good informative video, mike training principales really works, Jeff if you covering Mike's workout please make video on actual heavy duty routine and second routine
After your last video I've been doing only drop sets. I definitely feel better overall so far. Actually feeling some soreness in muscles the next day. I'm spending less time in the gym and the gains, I feel them coming in. Need more time to confirm that. But I'll also be switching my workout routine it won't always be drop.sets. I usually do 3 sets 3 exercises
it's so cool that more and more people get into mentzer. i came across his theories just a few months ago and i have adjusted my 4-5x a week sessions with 40+sets each to his heavy duty routine, ending up with +-2 sessions with 4-6sets each. so much time freed up and at least i'm not shrinking.
Just started having some issues with my AC joint in my left shoulder. Gonna try this workout for a bit so I'm not doing the 12+ sets for chest, which some of those exercises aren't good for the AC.
This is the way i train. Due to time i work out 3 times per week my whole body. Cable crossover, bench press, pull ups, rows, curls, face crushers (w/o crushing my face), squat, deadlift and face pulls at the end. I do some abs and forearms exercises between sets too. I also do rope jumping for 30-40 minutes after lifiting, i really like to.
I can definitely attest to working every muscle group, doing every major compound exercise, in a single workout consistently. Feeling great and always improving 💪🏽
Thanks a lot for this awesome demonstration. Actually what you describe at the end of your set happens very often to me: Even when grinding the very last rep, I still have some energy available for making a set with less weight and I perform this until failure. But then it's not just one set. Thanks a lot for this great video!
Will you make a video on how you protect your hand anatomy as a musician? I know you play piano and it's possible you have a decent number of musician subs. Would appreciate that a lot!
Gonna give this a try. Been doing 3 sets x 10 on various chest routines for years, but that eats up a lot of time (and gains are slower). If you can bang out this routine in under 15 minutes, then we'll be talking!
me personally, I train legs, rest 4 days, train pull, rest 4 days, train push, rest 4 days, train forearms, rest 4 days repeat. Therefore I can guarantee I am not sore and because of the repeated localised damage, there is systemic recovery so that, for example, when I train push, there will be localised recovery of triceps, chest and shoulders because of muscle damage in the system, but also systemic recovery of my legs, pulling muscles and forearms because of muscle damage in the system like CK@@MrBottlecapBill
Hello Jeff, you who are the Guru of exercise I ask you the following question: Is it possible to be muscular and athletic without a gym like you do? Is it possible to have muscle without weights, without dumbbells, without machines, just exercising at home and eating? Thanks you are a machine! Felipe From Colombia
Great video, thanks. One more question: does this style of training impact recommended frequency? In other words, how often should you hit each muscle group when training with just one set at this level of intensity?
@Jeff. Hi I would like to see a one set work out for the glutes. It’s an area I would like to see growth but also an area that I don’t enjoy training as much and would like to increase the volume
So the 1 set workout requires: 1 warmup set, 1 main set, 1 superset, and 1 drop set... so 4 sets... 3 to total failure. I'm not going to say this won't be effective - I think it will be highly effective - but I don't see it being really different than the "classic" 3 sets on a muscle group. Edit: To be clear, I'm not against this and I'm definitely going to try it. I've just always found the "1 set" claim to be a bit specious given all the "prep" that goes into it. I really see the value in this in both finding ones limits and the avoidance of over-training.
honestly the repping was too fast.. i believe mikes teached to no using momentum et all... but i can see your point..love the fact you are also bringing mike and HIT back to spotlight
Its called doing cheat sets so that u can do the ecentric negative part since ure stronger in that part..it was controled tho and like a compound movement such as a dumbbell bench press where your triceps and shoulders are helping your chest to work even more of those chest muscles to hit a true failure
Jeff I’m curious about programming surrounding this technique. How many muscle groups per day like this? How frequently per week for each muscle group? How to factor other agonist muscles in the schedule since they also are doing plenty of work. How much isolation vs. how much compound exercises in the mix. I would greatly appreciate more information on programming. Thanks!
Great content as ever. One question though. I actually worked out like this after seeing your previous video but I hit every muscle group in one workout, meaning I did one set of chest, one set of bicep, tricep, back, calves... and so on. Would this be too much since you use various muscles and often combine muscles to perform one certain exercise ? Do you recommand doing only a couple of muscle groups today and maybe other groups tomorrow ? Keep up the great work Jeff. Greetings from an old Belgian geezer.
I do 1 set for chest per week and I’m getting strong AS FUCK . gains are UNREAL! 1 set per muscle per week! I push every set to total muscular failure both positive and negative. Last week I hit a PR of 250x10 and this week I squatted 260x10 for a new PR!! WTF?!
In my long experience in the gym and as a 22 years physiotherapist and osteopat and fitness trainer I think the truth is in the middle . I tried a high volume workout for years( 16-20 sets per muscles ) and High intensity workout with 1 set for muscle … now im doing 8 sets for big muscles like pecs/dorsale… and 6sets for small groups like biceps/triceps/calf’s…
I guess if you can generate the intensity needed for bodybuilder kind of gains it can work, but I don't know if this kind of workout is suitable for your average Jo. Great video as usual tho
Thanks a lot for the video. I enjoyed. I am a bit lost though, so this exercise as you demonstrated can be my chest work out? Or is it only for middle chest? I remember you explained in your videos before how we need to target lower, middle and upper chest. Does this one set ( with all the steps you showed) cover all three parts of the chest? Many thanks for your reply in advance

Well said. Agree 100pc
His legacy will outlive those who did him dirty
Mike Mentzer was all about less is more, but only if done at the right intensity and close to failure. He often advocated for one set.
No shit we all saw Jeff’s last video too
@AskTheKid
Easy kid. You need to get off the steroids. They're making you mean
@@AskTheKid Actually, I didn't see it, but I have been listening to a lot of Mike's audio recordings of late. Thanks, anyhow.
@@dougroberts3643 haha, it's funny because you are also mean
Beautiful Demonstration. This is exactly what mike is trying to teach
Do you like sports
This has been one of your best videos. Thanks for bringing back a lot of the science into the exercises and thought process behind them.
Rest pause is good alternative to drop sets that you can use when training alone to get those extra failure reps. Mentzer promoted them too
I don’t often get involved with comments on TH-cam but this video was so well demonstrated that I thought it deserved a thank you.
yea most of his content is great, well thought out and presented, usually no bullshit, just my style.
Ur welcome in our comment community

Tuck in elbows, put DBs on knees then get up
Thanks for sharing this info. When I first started weightlifting I started on a Nautilus Circuit that hit every major muscle group. 1 set each machine - 3 times weekly. It gave me a great baseline of learning to breath and lift properly.
i found that tucking in my elbows on my push up makes huge difference on the "working" muscle group ...
I train the Mentzer way, going past failure more than once is only beneficial if you’re on PED’s and can recover more quickly, as is the case with volume
Great set Jeff, good to see your spotter in place just in case, so u can push through your limits
God damn I lost track of how many sets and reps are in this 1 set
Thank you for this. Im excited to learn more about this.
Drop set makes a lot of sense - particularly if you don't have a spotter....
I really like these videos Jeff revisiting and commenting on Mike Mentzer Heavy Duty💪.
Excellent, Jeff! It's great to see the boss being the boss!
Can you please do 1 set video on other muscle groups

So glad to see mentzer principles being used
Jeff then: The ONLY TWO chest exercises you need
Jeff now: The ONLY ONE chest set you need
(All jokes aside I want to try this style of training)
Just started having some issues with my AC joint in my left shoulder. Gonna try this workout for a bit so I'm not doing the 12+ sets for chest, which some of those exercises aren't good for the AC.
FYI Renaissance periodization also doing a video on Vince Sant!
Going to do this
This is the way i train. Due to time i work out 3 times per week my whole body.
Cable crossover, bench press, pull ups, rows, curls, face crushers (w/o crushing my face), squat, deadlift and face pulls at the end. I do some abs and forearms exercises between sets too.
I also do rope jumping for 30-40 minutes after lifiting, i really like to.
30-40 min of jumping rope…GAWD DAYUM
Too much IMO
I can definitely attest to working every muscle group, doing every major compound exercise, in a single workout consistently. Feeling great and always improving 💪🏽
Props to the cameraman for lifting the camera along with Jeff push ups
Thanks for the video Jeff!
Could I get one of those shirts in grey!?
Perfectly explained!, Seems effective!, Will try it,thank you Jeff,more videos to come...
Thanks a lot for this awesome demonstration.

But then it's not just one set. Thanks a lot for this great video!
Well, it’s training to complete failure.
It’s more labeling incorrectly since you warm up as well.
*Especially if you are training without a spotter
Will you make a video on how you protect your hand anatomy as a musician? I know you play piano and it's possible you have a decent number of musician subs. Would appreciate that a lot!
It's inspiring watching Jeff go to failure.
Youre awesome Jeff!
Just need a one set back. One set bicep, one set triceps..abs.... Good content Jeff!
Gonna give this a try for sure
You’ve got to do these with every body part
Gonna give this a try. Been doing 3 sets x 10 on various chest routines for years, but that eats up a lot of time (and gains are slower). If you can bang out this routine in under 15 minutes, then we'll be talking!
yes also make sure you have enough rest days between workouts
@@undeniabletruth-HIT Yes recovery is where the magic happens. If your chest is still sore and stiff do NOT do chest again until it's healed.

1. You don't count warm up as working set
2. If you ain't resting, the set ain't stopping. This isn't straight set, all of these are still 1 Set.
New series!!!!
Thank you!!!
honestly the repping was too fast.. i believe mikes teached to no using momentum et all... but i can see your point..love the fact you are also bringing mike and HIT back to spotlight

This channel is freaking amazing 🎉
I do 1 set for chest per week and I’m getting strong AS FUCK . gains are UNREAL! 1 set per muscle per week! I push every set to total muscular failure both positive and negative. Last week I hit a PR of 250x10 and this week I squatted 260x10 for a new PR!! WTF?!
Great video👍 this training technique works, and I agree that it's a safer way to train as we age
In my long experience in the gym and as a 22 years physiotherapist and osteopat and fitness trainer I think the truth is in the middle . I tried a high volume workout for years( 16-20 sets per muscles ) and High intensity workout with 1 set for muscle … now im doing 8 sets for big muscles like pecs/dorsale… and 6sets for small groups like biceps/triceps/calf’s…
I guess if you can generate the intensity needed for bodybuilder kind of gains it can work, but I don't know if this kind of workout is suitable for your average Jo.
Great video as usual tho
I did 1 set and found good results
Sneeze at the weights and get some gains..I’m dead 🤣
Thanks really impressive!!!
I need to start sneezing next to machines more haha
I was pushing the dumbbells with my mind with you
Thanks a lot for the video. I enjoyed. I am a bit lost though, so this exercise as you demonstrated can be my chest work out? Or is it only for middle chest? I remember you explained in your videos before how we need to target lower, middle and upper chest. Does this one set ( with all the steps you showed) cover all three parts of the chest? Many thanks for your reply in advance
Watch 16:30 again
What would be a safe leg exercise for this same principle? Would have to be a Bulgarian split squat, wouldn’t it?
Lega should be fun. Mike did leg extensions
Would this technique be adaptable for your "100 Chest Workout" series?
YESSSS THANK YOU
INTENSE!!! Had to add that. :).
