Just ONE excruciatingly heavy set that makes you shit blood and scream in pure agonyThen take 8 months off
You joke but I switched to just one insanely intense set and my gains and recovery are better than ever, by far.
>>77364361Prove him wrong. I’ll wait.
>>77364447People that support his grifting program and HIT in general are 99% boomers and fatfuck millennials with 13 inch arms. They always yap how HIT works for them, but have nothing to show for it. In fact, Mentzer invented HIT to grift lazy pieces of shit that don't actually want to work out. Mentzer build his body on higher volume, like all respectable bodybuilders did.
>>77364491if you watch his actual personal training videos the warmup sets are all clearly working sets
>>77364496Yes exactly, but >>77364491 is a fat ogre that genuinely believes its opinions are correct, no matter how blatantly dumb and ignorant they sound. So in a way, we have lost the argument. There is no reasoning with an animal.
>>77364529>is a fat ogreNever did HIT or listened to gay4pay retards, so no. That's not me.
>>77364361I will, need to finish stretching first. Something real weird is going on with my lower back and hip. Finally unlocked the mystery of the muscle group that has been seized up for at least a decade. Another couple days of rest won't kill me. Mike would agree.
>>77364491Roid tranny cope
>>77364361Great way to fry your CNS and make no gains
>>77366385Nattycel cope
>>77366385Mentzer was literally one of the biggest roidtrannies and gay4pay faggot. What the fuck are you even trying to say here, you retarded DYEL fuck. You can easily go over 16 inch arms as natty if you train hard enough, not fuck around with 5x5, GOMADS, PPL, HIT or other retarded bullshit.
>>77366472Post body roid tranny
>>77366489I'm not a roider, you useless lazy gay piece of shit.Do your HIT and then wonder why you look like shit 5 years later.
>JUST ONE SET TO COMPLETE FAILURE DEAR LISTENER>THEN PACK YOUR BAGS AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE GYM AND REST >PREPARE FOR YOUR NEXT WORKOUT ONE YEAR FROM NOW*Somehow wins an Olympia with a perfect score then becomes a crackhead*
>>77364361So...one set of Taco Bell?
>>77364361Hey there folks, dr. Mike here from (((Liemann))) college in the Bronx! Today we're going to talk about the man, the myth, the legend: Mike Mentzer! I'd love to Mike his Mentzer if you know what I'm saying!... you know what? Fuck Mike Mentzer! I'm literally bigger and stronger and smarter than Mike Mentzer! You do twelve sets of twelve, 14 RIR exactly, and you focus on the super deep stretch. No rest days, then you go home and eat HFCS protein muffins because the science is in: there's literally nothing wrong with corn syrup! So just grab it next time you're in the store. Grab it with your [VERSA GRIPS AD]
>do roids>train 1-2x a week>or 6 days a week>still get big either wayIt's funny how roids get you big no matter how you lift, yet bleeding heart troons will claim you need a good diet and a good program when roiding.
Been resting seven years now. Just about ready for my next set.
>>77364534>>77366472>gay4payStop shitting up every thread with this lieMentzer was the only bodybuilder who spoke out openly against others in the industry doing g4p, and coincidentally he was shunnedMeanwhile Arnold, Weider's favourite show dog, was completely silent about it and avoided the subject
>>77364361the efficacy of mentzer's style breaks down to one simple fact :Lift heavy.Progressive overload is the most important thing, forget about time under tension, the stretch, training frequencies, high or low number of reps, etc etc.99% of your progress come from progressive overload.Most high volume faggots, like I once was, don't lift heavy enough, because with a lot of reps and a lot of sets : you simply can't.And guess what ? It doesn't work. You need heavy ass weights to grow that's what mentzer's style got right.
>>77366701Good luck growing Biceps or Side Delts with heavy weight when you swing like a fucking retard.
>>77366703use machines you dumb fuck, especially because on side delts your grip will fail before your delts.You're losing tons of gains with your faggy "slow and controlled" bullshit
>>77366719>on side delts your grip will fail before your delts
>>77366719I wish you pajeets never found this place.
>>77366766lateral raises*>>77366771suck my dick, i'm right
>>77366788You're not getting any Side Delts from this gay machine
>>77366792you're not getting sidedelts from doing 120 lateral raises with bitch weight
>>77366472what's your favorite program or non retarded bullshit?
>>77364418post before and after
last time i was in the gym was 2004, my next set is due at december 2028
>>77364361There is exactly no physiological basis for the low frequency he recommended in his heavy duty programming.Low frequency resistance exercise is always inferior for hypertrophy, and if low enough it can be the difference between results and no results.
>>77366472ive been gone for a while. is 5x5 now considered a meme? what exactly are you doing then?
>>77364361>actually getting max efficacy out of the first set with easy ass warmupsCan you even get the same strength response on later sets or even after a rigorous warmup? I think this nigger is on to something.
>>77368101>5x5 now considered a meme?not him but it will make you look like a bloated ogre with no arms at all. idiots that think compounds + "some" isolation is enough for arm size as a natty are stupid as fuck and will end up looking like fatfucks with no arms. arms are a bitch to grow and you're wasting that time on squatting three times a week like a tranny instead of blasting your arms three times a week.
>>77368124>bench/incline/ohp 3x3>back/pull muscles>2-3x5>add some accessories with a minimum of 3 sets of arms push+pull aka tris+bisYeah if you do legs before everything and don't take into account that if you did everything once a week your bigger muscles would outpace the rest due to larger muscles taking longer to recover. Aka if you are doing legs 1-2x a week then you need to do upper body 2-4x a week to stay proportional assuming you are smart about intensity.
