That’s a HARDCORE WORKOUT! Lots a weight and those machines are chain mechanism! Probably feel every bit of the weight he was lifting. On top of basically Zero rest!
3 decades I lifted following hit principals... great results...ironically I never encountered any of the og equipment ever...if I was rich I'd buy the whole set for my gym and follow 2-3 day a wk principle just like this video... now I'm injured and weights will never be the same.
I believe that Mike had two main high intensity training programs. One is the famous Heavy Duty, which contains the supersets. The other one is a full body workout
yeah his form is not perfect but that's realistic, when you actually do HIT with heavy loads is very hard to focus on the form because of the intensity, at least for the folks who are not patient but they have increased risk of injuries - that's the payoff!
This is a good reference of what "to failure" means on these Metnzer protocols. You can almost see the glycogen fleeing from his muscles. Looks brutal.
Really nice to see those videos, cheers! I have reason to believe that Boyer is actually natural during those videos, heard that Arthur Jones didn't like steroids... Even if he was on gear doesn't look he took loads like the guys nowadays which shows that more is not always better 🤔
Gentlemen, although it hasn't been very long since I've started working out with intensity and consistency, I have seen or think I have seen improvement in strength and possibly size. How will I know if I should switch to the "consolidated" program, as I am an individual who I believe is of the body type Mike described who could benefit from such a program? Thank you, everyone, especially Mr. Little for uploading these videos!
It depends - for me the consulidation program is deload practically. For you may not be because everyone has different recovery needs, trial & error is king - start the Consulidation with 3 full days rest between the sessions and if you don't get stronger after a month increase the rest day to 4 and so on till you find your frequency. The ideal routine of Mike is also very good again starting with 3 full days between the sessions.
40* Chest Shoulder 11 reps in 37 seconds = 3.4 seconds per rep. Not exactly the protocol that Arthur was promoting (up 2, pause 1, lower 4 = 7 seconds per rep) but intensity still looked good. The risk of injury was unnecessarily high during these exercises because of a lack of awareness of the risk. Throwing weight instead of lifting it is a hard habit to break.
that first thing is cool. I've never seen it. So much better than the worthless 'kick back' thing my gym has. I don't use it. I don't feel like putting my butt in the air and doing kickbacks. This works the same glutes, but in a normal looking way.
That kickback one works the quads and glutes and my bro called it the “butt machine” lol He was like, you want glutes well there is always the “butt machine” in the corner and my coworkers were very confused. 😂
@@NewDaySon37 my gym did replace everything with mediocre 'technogym' equipment. But some of it is plate loaded, and the plate loaded stuff is good. There is a more 'modestly' set up plate loaded kickback, and I've actually used it a bit with the hopes it might help some lower back/upper butt type nerve issues. I"m not sure if it's helping. I'm not doing huge weight with it, not sure if I'll keep using it.
John if you have any videos of Ray or Mike working together we all want to see is gonna go very crazy everbody even popular guys gonna make video how they training i think this is the chance
interesting to me that he said 'aiming for 10 reps' and then he doesn't tell Boyer to slow down. I'm thinking that it is a tad later where Mentzer shifted moreso to slightly slower reps and just going to complete failure(?). That vid where he's training Marcus somethingorother, Mentzer looks a tad older in the latter vid.
This video was shot in 1983. The one with Markus Reinhardt was shot in 2001. You are correct in that Mike believed in a slower, more controlled protocol later on. He started implementing this belief in the mid 1990s. In this video he is supervising Boyer’s workout according to the guidelines that Arthur Jones wanted Boyer to use.
I miss this equipment
I know. Those were the days. 🎉
Love this footage, inspiring!
Some of these machines I have never seen before. Wow.
And unfortunately, you will never see them again, other than videos like this. What I wouldn't give to have access to equipment like this.
Love these videos. Keep them coming.

These machines are a thing of beauty.
I know there’s footage of Mike training a full workout out there somewhere. I can’t wait to see it.
This would be awesome to see!
There isn’t any unfortunately.
@@Lonewolf__666 that's pure evil. apologise right now
@@NorseCode.81 the Devil 😈 never apologizes 🤣
There is! I have a YT playlist with it if you’d like the link! Full upper body workout done by Mike during his prime along with footage of Ray too!
this biceps machine is classic 🇧🇷
When Mike said superset i thought he meant two exercises bro made Boyer do whole exercise a superset

@@alexeicccp ahhhhh, i see
That “pulldown” back rest goes way up to the sky

@@Damian_Ravenscroft what the f r u taöking about.
He means the pad in the back which is 2 Meter long
Yeah, when I look at that I can only imagine Arthur made the machine with some REAL GUYS in mind lol
What I'd give to have a Nautilis Duo Leg Machine.

I believe he was Natural here.
@@Lonewolf__666yeah looks like but he was strong dude anyways
Nautilus was hugely popular in the 80s then they just seemed to vanish.
the second machine, where the funk did those go? i haven't seen these in any gyms..
185kg with one leg thats insane

Are these the 1st generation of Nautilus machines?
This guy needs to catch his breath.
This guy's doing fst 7
Was Boyer Natural in this footage?

@@GeorgeForeman. I share what I have. So far, no such videos have been found.

Why chest press is missing in this workout?
Arthur had prescribed two different workouts for Boyer. One of them had the chest press exercise, and the other one did not.
@@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE pullovers, chest flys and even lat pulldown gave him enough chest stimulation, I guess.
That Lat pulldown looks garbage but the neutral grip shoulder press machine looks goos
I like how each machine has a seat belt.
