 | Heavy Duty Decided to get the The Wisdom of Mike Mentzer: The Art, Science and Philosophy of a Bodybuilding Legend book today and will be here for tomorrow. I've been training high intensity style since i started training and have got some decent gains since i started training properly again 3 years ago but never really given mike's routines ago been more of a full body and dorian yates style high intensity guy. Anyway gonna give some of mike's routines a go and see if i can progress with less frequency as advocated by him. Am gonna try this and see how it goes. Will make a note of my weight measurements and strengh increased ect and note them down and post up my findings. Just wandered if anyone has tried any of the routines and which one worked best for them?

   | Re: Heavy Duty I dont follow Mike's routine exactly, but do follow HD principles, and it works very well.

| Re: Heavy Duty yeah like i say i do the dorian yates style and train 4 days a week but i think its burning me out. Been doing it for a long while so think its time for a change.

| Re: Heavy Duty My training is more along the lines of Dorian, but I only train each body part every 2 weeks, so it is still a 4 way split, (not the same as Dorian's though), but done over a 14 day period.

| Re: Heavy Duty I bought "body building the mike menzter way" recently and i have to say it's one fantastic book. He really is one intelligent man and it really is a shame that he passed away, he had so much knowledge to give out. I tried his consolidation routine for 6 weeks and gained 1 kilo. Which is acually better than i thought as i was only doing 2 sets a week! He definitely hit home that less is better with as high intensity you can do. I now do a routine which is similar to his "ideal routine" which is acually very similar to Bigs routine that he wrote up. I definitely recommend you give his routines a go and i'll assure you, you'll never train super high volume again! |

| Re: Heavy Duty ive got both mentzer books and dorians-only problem is that training max like that all the time eventually leads to a burnout as youre at the limits of your ability.im currently backing off for two months as its summer then back into it again-i find this approach of compounds,intense abbreviated training is superb,just cycle the intensity periodically and it should be great for gains and long term training. we train everything once a week two seperates sessions. |

| Re: Heavy Duty I'm looking forwards to trying mike's routines. Only thing i'm bothered about is training so infrequently cos i enjoy going to the gym but i'll be working in one soon so i guess that will become a plus eventually lol!

| Re: Heavy Duty I was fortunate to have met Mike in his prime, '80, and then proud to become one of his phone consult clients in '95. Joanne Sharkey assures me, mine was one of the last emails Mike read before he went to that that fateful night. So I am delighted to see others applying his principles with much success!
