About this deal

Knowing that time and energy are limited resources, it only makes sense to make the most of them, right?

In modern instant-gratification society, this is something we can all apply both inside and outside of the gym. Leverage patience and all-out determination in the gym. Embrace the challenge. But remember, progress is seldom linear, it’s cyclical. Those who stay the course are the ones who will succeed. Going Heavy Duty

Mentzer focused on gradually increasing training intensity, rather than training to failure right off the bat. Once a lifter is capable of creating high amounts of tension in his muscles, the key to building more size isn’t to train longer and with more volume; it’s to use increasingly intense methods and make training more difficult. Taking your workouts to the absolute limit like this can be fun. But you will have to be smart and work up to it.

Mentzer started bodybuilding when he was 11 years old at a body weight of 95lb (43kg) after seeing the men on the covers of several muscle magazines. His father had bought him a set of weights and an instruction booklet. The booklet suggested that he train no more than three days a week, so Mike did just that. He attended the first Mr. Olympia and later said: “The 1965 Mr. Olympia contest was almost a religious experience for me." [10] By age 15, his body weight had reached 165lb (75kg), at which Mike could bench press 370lb (170kg) [ citation needed]. Mike's goal at the time was to look like his bodybuilding hero, Bill Pearl. After graduating high school, Mentzer served four years in the United States Air Force. It was during this time he started working out over three hours a day, six days a week. [6] Do your last warmup with 75% of your working weight. Get a good pump but do not go to failure on warm up sets. Stop about three reps from failure. According to Mike Mentzer, a bodybuilder should base their diet on the following Four Basic Food Groups: Cereal and Grain Foods Convinced that the contest was fixed, Mike Mentzer retired after the 1980 Mr. Olympia and never competed again. Note that Mentzer never claimed that he himself should have won, only that Schwarzenegger should not have won.In some cases, you need a training partner for Heavy Duty workouts. So get your gym buddy and get psyched. These are the leg and ab exercises of choice in the Mike Mentzer workout routine. Superset: Leg Extension + Leg Press Many aspiring bodybuilders neglect their posterior deltoids. Out of sight, out of mind. However, that won’t do if you want complete delt development and that stand-out rounded look to your shoulder muscles.
