i trained h.i.t dorian , mike mentzer style in my 20's i did go up in strength alot, but. your chances of injury go up alot , i damm near tore my bicep, in fact took my bicep nearly a year to get better, luckily no surgery, i also injured my right shoulder pretty bad to.
i wont train in that fashion ever again. also if you do decide to train like this make sure you do a 20 minute cardio warm up first.
And stretch. Dorian did all of those things and still tore his body to hell. Hes by far my favorite BB but I wont train like him...
A.Dont have the drive or discipline.
B.Dont enjoy feeling beat up all the time
C.Dont want to destroy my body
It worked for him but I never had any kind of mind/muscle connection going on when I tried to train like him, I felt like I was just heaving the weight around. When I started training more like Arnold I actually developed a connection and started feeling the muscle working and getting good pumps.
Dorian's program made me stronger but I didnt make much for muscular gains.
who knows, if I go back now and try it, it may be different. But I have zero desire to do that.
