stop posting mentzer threads you fricking autist
This is my first one
welcome brother
BECAUSE IT'S 4 SETS OF 12 REPS, NOW WILL YOU PLEASE BACK OFF ROIDHEAD?
Not an argument
sorry but mike is a israelite lover, he declared himself a fan of objectivism and ayn rand. i can't follow gym advice from a israelite lover
Not an argument
No one cares
has anyone here actually gone through a HIT training routine for at least 6 months? If so share your experiences and post body, I have a strong suspicion that HIT is complete horseshit that probably only works for roiders
P.S. not an arnold fan either
> have a strong suspicion that HIT is complete horseshit that probably only works for roiders
Why? Volume is always what is pushed by roidmonkeys, because it works when you are juicing.
Anything works when you’re juicing, literally any routine will work
Everyone I’ve seen natty that does HIT or some roider 10x10 volume shit are ALWAYS dyel
God forbid you do something down the middle with a few sets of heavy intensity per muscle group
> Anything works when you’re juicing, literally any routine will work
Right, but my point was that extreme volume only works for people juicing and it gives them great results. It’s why they lionize it so much.
They get improved recovery and volume is a lot easier than high intensity.
>not an Arnold fan btw tehe
>posts sweaty Arnold
Didn't you notice me add weight? This is my work set.
I used it for just over a year before switching, but I won't post body. I spent the whole time cutting weight and I'm still not done yet. 40lb down, 25 to go.
That being said, it can work just fine if you do it well. It's very time-efficient, but not very flexible. Most inexperienced lifters won't be able to succeed with it. I ended up changing programs for something more adaptable with more variety.
frick arnold looked good
Mentzer was right about intensity, but completely wrong about frequency and volume. unless you're in the 1% of people like Izzy Narvaez, you will need at least 2 sets to progress on something
Did sl 5x5 for like six months before covid, did minimal calisthenics and knees over toes meme shit during covid, then did mentzers ideal routine for a few months and now doing Jay Vincents golden era system since May. Probably a little over a year total with HIT methodologies and negligible baseline physique. Training for like an hour once every 4 to 6 days. Lifetime natural (obviously)
Only started to add in isolation arm stuff in the last few weeks. Have previously avoided because I thought compounds were all I needed, and also had some rotator cuff and wrist/hand injuries that made it difficult.
When I started HIT stuff I was like 214lbs and 22%bf or so. I'm down to 186lbs and approximately 13% bodyfat now.
It seems like it worked at least somewhat well for you. I doubt you would have had the same results training 3x10 with that duration and frequency. Its probably not optimal though.
Your arms look like absolute shit and it makes your body look moronic.
Cut down leg work and do arms.
Shoulders

>Did sl 5x5 for like six months
We can tell. The meme strikes again.
post body and routine.
5 day brosplit
Alright anon, but now it's time to seriously work on your shoulders
total dyel but u r lean maybe HIT doesnt make u as hungry ?
Looking breety good not perfect or anything but you look good friend i think i'll mimic your routin and see if there is any change
Unironically stop training legs for months if you care at all about the way you look. Maybe invest in a wheelchair.

High protein synthesis activity in muscle lasts about 48 hours on a natty. You should train your muscles at least 2, more preferably 3 times a week. Once a week WORKS, but not well. You are leaving a lot of gains on the table
>You should train your muscles at least 2, more preferably 3 times a week
how do you do that if you are above intermediate and don't want to go 6 times a week? FB sessions get way too long and exhausting. 2 way split are unbalanced and have overlapping muscle groups.
Look into Fortitude training, it's a good example of high frequency programming. It involves multiple "set types", stretching, and an overlapping upper/lower split.
Hi mister Mentzer, unfortunetely I have go do a second set because i was a massive pussy at the first and ONLY set of my underhand chin ups in the day on of your heavy duty program that i had to do another one to make sure that i hit mechanical muscle failure.
In two weeks when i will train again i will make sure to not need a 2nd set
>to make sure that i hit mechanical muscle failure
That better have included isometric and eccentric failure too otherwise you're going on permanent rest days
I like the way it feels and I'm making gains mister 🙂
Because, Mike, I'm not yet strong enough to do sufficient damage to ignite the growth stimulus from a single set.
Of course you are. The damage is relative to your strength. See
and push yourself past failure.
No.
Because Mr. Mentzer research shows 2-3 heavy sets is optimal for strength gains during compound lifts, and isolation of smaller muscles stimulates growth much better with multiple higher rep sets.

your favourite author was born alissa rosenbaum. she died miserable, alone and drug addicted just as you will. frick off and let me do my workout
Big roid tiddies.
>How do you respond?
I don't want to look like a del homosexual like you, now step aside manlet. Papas got a bench to press
Sorry mike, love the physique and all but im simply not going to smoke meth for preworkout or abuse steroids and die in my 50's uhhh i know....Im sorry...but i uhhh... im just not gonna....
sorry mr mentzer is cant count
>because i already did my first
Frick off c**t
Because, it is not at all proven in any capacity that one set to failure is the best system for anyone, Black person.
Now get back in your grave, Mike, you're fricking dead.
I pay the same amount as you to come to this gym I can do what I damn well want
Because I want to? I don't answer to random people in the gym.
>I don't answer to random people in the gym.
You just did, now hand over your sets
>You haven't got anything to do with what I'm doing, now let me finish my fricking workout please
Because I want to.
I don't. One set is literally the final redpill.
Because it works and your methhead shit doesn't.
Sorry mentzer but some fake natty on youtube told me 20 sets a week is 2.3% better than 1 set according to a study done on grannies training like pussies with absolutely no control on genetics, diet or rest so I'm doing 6x PPL with the scientifically supported sunday rest day for sabbath. No, I don't go to church or even pray but praise the lord and savior jesus christ.
“I like doing more than one set. I’m not lifting for maximal size, and I’d like to work my endurance and also further tax my cardiovascular system for health reasons. I also am still making gains with my current regime”
Pretty much any training style is within margin of error of each other unless you have exceptional genetics or roids or both.
Just go to the gym and lift weights a few times per week that's while trying to incrementally and progressively increase the weight.
5×5, man, but if you ask nicely, you can work in.
Hey dude, I have my reasons
Now leave me be I don't have any meth to score or ass or wiener to give to you. I'm into chicks and twinks, not bb junkies
Can you post a single picture from your training routine results without roids
I wonder how long it will be before we trend towards something else. Its actually really funny seeing you tards thinking this is the new holy grail of training.
Cycle different methods over the year for a novel stimulus and grow stop going all or nothing on training ideologies
