Thoughts on Mike Mentzers philosophy of high intensity workouts?

My man does 1 to 2 sets of an exercise (until failure) but the thing is you're supposed to raise the weight so you fail at around 8th rep and then do forced reps, but you're supposed to hold the weight in place as well its kinda weird + you're supposed to rest for like 5 days lol

Any lifting routine will work when you’re on 1 gram of test

You mean the routines that also throw in the “chicken and broccoli” with “sun gazing” and “nofap”

Mike Mentzer had some intriguing and fantastic ideas(promoting quality over quantity). He only focused compounds in his system(the big 3, dips and chinups). But his system went to the other extreme of arnold and nubret. He went from too much work to too little work.

Dorian Yates claimed to use his training methods. However Lee Priest trained with Dorian for a while and said that Yates didn't train differently to any of the other bodybuilders and that he was just trying to give Mentzer a bit of encouragement/publicity because he was friends with Mike. So it may be a scam.

I've read his books, I've put on maybe 6-7lbs muscle in last 3 months but starting GH today and then moving towards Nandralone cycles once I hit 18

He's a fucking retard, Dorian would pyramid his sets meaning: 2 sets being light warmup and then one set to extreme failure, no warmup sets needed after the muscle group is warmed up.

For example:
Chest
3 Exercises (Fly, Incline Press + Flat)

One Set No Weight Fly
One Set 50% Weight Fly
ONE SET FAILURE FLY
ONE SET FAILURE PRESS
ONE SET FAILURE FLAT

no rest between sets unless needed due to cardiovascular needs.

FYI Mentzer was a cocaine/meth addict who died at 50 from a heart attack

A lot of gym guys are fascinated with Mentzer. I don't get it. He's just another bodybuilder to me, with some broscience perspectives.

 

[NeedToSucceed]

i tried HIIT, lifting once a week with extreme intensity. i did this for 3 months

i can say that my strength and endurance definitely improved but my physique didn't look much better

now i stick to a PPLR split, 1.5 hours in the gym and 8 sets of 8 for each body part, i split the sets into two different exercises, first a normal lift like benching and second a cable machine for striations and balance

 

[axeyyek]

I started it like 2 weeks ago. Will see how it goes.

and what do u think abt it now?
