Has anybody ever actually tried the Mike mentzer program? I’ve kind of plateaued in the last year and am seriously looking for ways to get serious gains and move up from the baby gains I have gotten over the last couple years

Im skeptical of Mike mentzer because he used roids so of course he would see good gains for minimum work lmao

Nobody here lifts

This is true, I don't even walk, I just scroll /fit/ all day long

Instead of switching up your entire routine, why not just add one (1) rest day into your rotation and see if that helps?

When you understand that volume is effort over time and not mechanical work it becomes obvious that one_properly_performed set involves a greater volume of exercise than most people's three to five sets.

The difference between a properly performed HIT workout and most conventional bodybuilding workouts isn't the amount of exercise performed but how it is divided and distributed over time.

And how is that to be done?
1 set of each workout til absolute failure followed by a day of rest? I’m genuinely curious

I did back in the 90s, don't bother. I lost weight instead of gaining and strength gains were so-so.

Yeah I made sick gains. Each group 1 isolation followed by 1 compound whichever you like. Warmup until 1 max set in the 5-10 range once past 10 increase weight next workout. For example my triceps chest would be overhead triceps extension into dips.

Also nowadays I do 2 sets mostly. Reaching failure on 1 set is too hard.

I can't do meth anymore
