High-Intensity Training the Mike Mentzer Way

One would think that with knowledge so readily available to the general public via the internet that one could find reliable information. Ya right :P. I mean don't get me wrong, it's much easier and faster to look up any "how to" on the internet than having to travel to the nearest library to borrow a book. However, you have to know where to look and always question the sources!

If you are searching on google for information on how to acquire a complex skill, steer clear of the links at the top of the search engine. You know what I'm talking about.

"Gain 10lbs of muscle in 1 month."
"101 techniques for mind blowing sex."
"10 ways how to gain confidence."


I've listened to my fare share of bodybuilding/weightlifting podcast, watched many videos, and read many books. You can chose to take my word or not, but I have found one reliable source that I would like to share. The book is called High-Intensity Training the Mike Mentzer Way. Mike Mentzer was a pro bodybuilder back in the day, who recently passed always due to heart problems (no not from steroids, genetics ). Mike Mentzer is known for his discovery of High Intensity Training. A school of thought that revolves around logic, science, and plain common sense.

A quick outline of key points:

1. Train 1-2 times a week.
2. No excess reps. Controlled and heavy reps only.
3. Work larger muscles.
4. Intense and short workouts with emphasis on recovery (days, and up to a week of rest).

I won't ruin the rest for you but the above list should get you curious. I do want to quickly add that recovery is such an important aspect of this program. Part way through the program, the rest period can be up to 2 weeks! Be prepared as this system will challenge what you think you already know.
