HIT style training works. My gains had basically ceased until i reduced my volume and frequency. Took an injury to realize that i shouldn't train so often and needed to decrease volume. Now i train every 3rd day and have been seeing more results than i did in almost a year of training. Once the weight actually gets heavy, and you're not on the juice, you NEED more recovery time.

@@maxpowers4436depends on what your goals are. Recovery for maxing out lifts can definitely take 2 days, maybe 3 if you overdid it which isn’t hard when you’re feeling out a new weight or rep range you like to do. I personally have goals to better my flexibility due to past sports injuries, so my training is going to be diverse and not focused as heavily on max/near max strength. After stretching intensely and not overdoing it for just a week, I notice my legs and joints feel more like they did when I was younger. Just attempting a bridge requires a different type of strength, little tiny stabilizer muscles I could feel lighting up. Stretches are underrated for recovery and pre workout for sure. Look at any first baseman in the MLB, or just look at their pre game stretches. This is BASEBALL, a sport that gets a bad rap for having a few chubby guys who can slam home runs playing in its biggest league. And yet many players can do the splits casually.

I go to failure but utilise this type of training once a month as it's taxing on the nervous system and recovery. I use machines mainly or when not using machines, for example when bench pressing, use safety bars inside a squat rack. Another example is when using a hammer strength press and you find your arms fatigue before your pecs, pre exhaust the chest on a cable fly then hit failure on the press. Remember, train smart.....and hard 🙃

I started training like Mike but what he’s not saying here is Mike talks about not going heavy and focus on control so very slow down and up. And staying under muscle tension the whole time. So if I curl 50 pounds but I am using the dumbbell moment I am cheating myself. So cut the ego and go slow. Mikes workouts also focus on free weights and making you engage your core. So after a workout I feel my abs getting a burn. The big thing is rest and recovery days. Mikes theory is that the human body responds to the environment or conditions you place it in. So when you enter a rest state you give the body time to repair and grow the new tissue. Even more because they body needs time to take fat use the stored energy to grow/heal and that’s the big word heal. When we get sore at the gym it’s the same as you fell or got into a fight. You’re not doing that every single day. Now Mike says like 72 hours between workouts I am not sure about that I would agree on that for leg day because I go crazy on legs but everything is at most a 48 hr or 24hr. but think of it like a scab on a cut of you pick at it it opens up and bleeds and has to scab over again so it can heal. You keep picking at it, it will not heal. So stop going to the gym every day and you down need to spend 3 hrs at the gym. When I go by myself and if the gym is empty I can be done in like 30 mins and feel a good burn. Been weight training since I was like 10 and hard lots of up downs from injuries in my 20s. Mikes way is way better.

Ppl either use too much weight and fail too early or they think they're just shy of failure and in reality they have 3,4,5 reps left This is why I personally like total rep goals. Example: Incline bench Instead of doing a top set of like 10 reps and a backoff do the top set but set a rep goal of 20. Then repeat that weight till you get 20 total reps. Each week you'll hit 20 earlier and earlier. Somewhere between when you hit 15 and 20 reps on the first set you up the weight.

Its been a loooong time long before Mike that in the bibliography was written crystal clear that you have 2 options to train. High volume with low intensity or low volume with high intensity . In every kind of workout you are commited ro reduce the time of the workout as the intensity increases. Thats not new is one of the oldest principles of training . The trap here is that the naturals cant anabolise all the time instead they are prone to overtraining compared to the athletroids who can easily adopt and gain from multiple sets routines. So speaking about weights YES the naturals must stay in low set routines i dont care if they are only ONE set or more but they for sure must be LOW. in any case bravo to mike mentzer that he shared this knowledge and fought all that big system of bodybuilding and supplements.

There's literally no reason to leave a rep in reserve. The whole point is a send a signal to your muscles that they absolutely must get bigger and stronger to handle the demand. When you hold reps and reserve you're simply allowing your muscles to do something they're already capable of doing. The last rep where you giving everything you got is the one that makes the difference. And based on this advice the one you wouldn't do. And recovery from it is a non-issue if you understand You don't need to be in the gym 6 days a week.

That’s exactly why Mentzer says to go to failure, because there is no 100% accurate way to measure intensity other than 0%, fully at rest, and 100% intensity, to failure. He even says that, let’s say 80% is optimal for growth, well the only way you can be 100% sure that you got to 80% is by going to 100%, failure, because only then do you know for certain that you hit the 80% intensity mark. Like it says in this video, how do you know if you only have 2 reps left and you can stop then? You can’t until you get past 80%, and then maybe next time you won’t go as hard, so technically you will have one workout where you test yourself, but working out Mikes way, I’ve been getting stronger every single workout. Every single workout would be a test, just go to failure would assure you you are at an optimal intensity always.

You never have to test failure in say bench because your wt to reps tells you exactly where your 1 rep max is, losing 2 reps per additional 10 lbs. For bench press, really, you try a higher wt and it gets off the floor or it doesn't. You don't need a spotter. You lift it or you don't.

Hit training works like magic. The only issue is that most people don’t like to do it because it is simply hard and painful. Also you need an excellent spotter. For example when I do curls to failure after the final set I feel like i am going to to trough up this is how much effort it takes . This is why it is not so popular. On the end of the day everyone chooses what they like to do. But you will not see growth unless you put the effort into it . The other thing is the recovery you need to take your time it is the rest that makes you grow.

I go till failure and then do half reps on my last sets but most of the time when I’m doing sets of 12 I struggle to get the 12th. Like probably have 1 more possible rep but when I get to my last set I get like 16 reps with 4 partial reps. I don’t understand it, I try to rest like 1-2 mins in between sets

Hell yes. If I aim for 10 reps and that 10th goes up pretty easy, I'll bust out a few more then add weight immediately. we both know what a good set feels like 😅

I feel ya. I hate the thought of stopping when i know i probably have 2 or 3 more reps in me. I prefer to just not grind out that rep where maintaining form is too difficult.

Been working out for 40 years, I discovered Mike Mentzer just last year and my work outs are at another level, a lot less injury prone, and on top of that, I don’t need to waste my life away at the gym.

sounds like a program problem also going to failure is promoting more useless damage to your body so whatever bro. I enjoy doing 405 on leg day for reps, not just a glass cannon show off.

@@justincharlton1132 I mean going to failure isn't necessarily going to mess with your body. You just need to make sure you aren't actually losing form as you get close, since that has an injury risk. Especially if you aren't doing many sets a week, it shouldn't be that bad for wear and tear on the body.

Mentzers way is perfect for nattys. In my teenage years I trained 5-6 days a week 1-3 hour sessions and got shredded. Only problem was for the next 10 years I stayed pretty much the same size even loosing gains and covered in injuries. Took about a year off (still sore) started again but soon found Menzter. Now I train 15-20 min a week incredibly intense to absolute failure one set per body part. Less pain, more strength and gained about 20lb of muscle in about 6 months so... somethings working.

If you don't eat you wont gain weight no matter what your frequency is so there's your answer. Clearly you started eating more. Mass doesn't just magically accumulate on your body. If you ate properly in your teens you would have had 10x the results you're getting now. 15 minutes a week? Thats actually pathetic

All these people out here saying “the HIT training doesn’t work any better than XYZ training program”. Mike israetel is one of them normally. But I’m over like “dude say what you want, but what about the people (like you apparently) who have tried EVERYTHING else and suddenly they find ‘work out less and rest more’ and suddenly they blow up?” Lol they wouldn’t keep doing it if it wasn’t working.

15-20min/week seems functional for slow gains. But I do 20-45 min/4-5x per week until failure with backend strength training (higher reps, lower weight) and I get about .75-1lb/week muscle growth. Eating enough was the hardest part especially after realizing I was in starvation mode for over 8 months (18-1900kcals/day in with a 3k-4k burn)my macro numbers forced me to triple my food intake,

Oh man, mentzer never advocated to do a dropset. Its just opposite, he always suggested to do a superset. He said "dropset just extending the set to get a muscle damage and dropping down a weight, which is going backwards."

Precisely. Drop sets are like doing low intensity cardio, where you obviously didn't reach failure.

You need to get your fkn ears check you bozo and stop glazing Mentzer. He didnt refute anything he said Mentzer got good results with what he did and suggested that overall something else might be better. Also why are you making shit up? He literally never said the sentence in the entire video mentioning "3 sets" You literally hallucinated that because of how much ur glazing Mentzer. Secondly testing yourself to know your real RIR is a normal part of training. If you are literally doing any program you should periodically test yourself regardless. Thirdly he didnt make anything up working out close to failure and using RIR is a well documented and studies aspect of hypertrophy training. What it allows you to do its achieve great results by going close to failure but not burning yourself out and including a little more volume here and there. As much as you fkwits hate to admit it volume is important. Training like a HITard on side laterals, calves and a myriad of other exercises is stupid. Literally every high level athlete in any field incorporates high volume into their training. Only closet homosexuals fans on Mentzer think doing more than 3 sets per months is over training.

yeah bro I was like that when I first started. I used to do squat 100kgx10x3, then leg press 16 plates for 15x3, then leg extension 140kgx10x3. I never understood how people did it twice a week because I always pushed to failure. wayyyyy tooo much volume lmfao. I was also in a weird position because for an untrained person I had pretty strongs legs so I didnt know wtf I was doing, but it worked and I pushed big numbers

@@-AxisA- 16 plates on a leg press machine yeah. 8 per leg. I used to use one of those isometric hammer strength ones so I did one leg at a time, because coordinating both legs at the same time on that damn thing is impossible. I dont really leg press anymore because i want to work on my squat, which was lagging because my lower back isn't strong enough compared to my legs.
