Hey Markus. I remember some pics in Muscular Development way back where you posed on Muscle Beach. I remember you had big bitch tits. Did you have surgery to remove them?

HIT HARD!
Didn't you have something to do with JP Fux's site awhile back? I seem to remember something like that....if so, what happened to JP and could you give us some current info? :)

Hey Markus. I remember some pics in Muscular Development way back where you posed on Muscle Beach. I remember you had big bitch tits. Did you have surgery to remove them?
Yes I did as a matter of fact. The Bitch tits were a combination of my own genetics (always had sort of a problem even without taking any roids) and the fact that I did a cycle without knowing what I was doing back then. I was natural competing in my first Musclemania but showed up with Bitch Tits - which I think some of the judges noticed. I hated it since it was a left over from when I took roids and had to get rid of tehm of course. I consulted a great Doctor back in 94 which then removed it. Could not train for 8 weeks but after that it was all fine.

Good honest answer.

whats your HIT training like? And you're really natural? What tested show's have you competed in?
I will post a training program here soon -but my training is usually brief and super intense - usually doing 1 set to failure with 2-4 exercises per muscle - still experiementing with the training frrequency right now - but usually train each muscle every 3-5 days.
I am natural - yet I have dabbed around with some small cycles in the past. As I mentioned in the Bitch tits question earlier - I compete in Musclemania shows which are drug tested - aslo competed in the Ironman Naturally (NPC ) once and took 2nd in lightheavy weight division.
I am training now to compete in the Superbody Pro Division in Miami this June. Currently weighting 224lbs but with some blubber from the holidays - lol - starting my prep for that show now - I will have video clips and updated pics posted here and on my website soon.
thx for asking bud!

I designed JP's site and produced his Video as well. JP and I are good friends. After his leg accident he kinda got fed up with the whole bodybuilding world and its politics behind it. He is a stand up guy and probably the hardest working bodybuilder I have ever known. JP now trains clients on Palm springs where he lives. Has a huge clientel I think and is now a lot slimmer then he was before.
at the end...your a winner in this game if ur still alive,remember

mrhit..i have been training high intensity for about a month now and have been seeing awesome gains sinice switching from a high volume/7 days per week regimine....just wondering if you had ever trained high volume in the past, if so; im sure you experienced good gains from switchin..wondering how long they kept up, if they slowed down at all, and what your thoughs are on incorporating higher volume every once in a while to shock the muscles.
-
yea, any thing you can tell us about Mentzer would be great
What do u like to know about Mike?
I can tell you he was one of the smartest people I have ever known. Mike trained me for a while and I also worked for him in his condo in Marina Del Rey, taking care of all his mailorder and phone consultations (scheduling,etc) - A few close friends (which I am proud to call myself) used to go over his house on sundays to eat dinner which he cooked for us (he made us pay 5 bucks a head - which I thought was hilarious) maybe at times taken his philosophy of objectivism too far...Mike all around was a great man and good friend that always fought for the truth no matter what are the consequences.

hi markus, awesome build! i love HIT 8)
i've got a question :
is it possible to keep muscle gains(from juicing) after you go off the juice ?
the gains i'm talking about are the muscle-mass which are above natural- limit
(example: 5'7guy+200Ibs+8%BF)
of course, i'm guessing it's possible someone can juice and get up to his naturally-attainable-peak and keep it
since it's naturallly attainable anyway
the reason i'm asking dude is, if it's possible to keep gains which are above the natural-limit
, i'm going to the US when i hit 30y/o . mark my words!
-
yes you can keep the gains..you just have to be smart and know how to diet and train and properly supplement post-cycle. i know of a guy who walks around at about 250, maybe 10% bf(legit 10%...full abdomen clear), and 5'9''. this is OFF CYCLE. ..clean for 6 months. contest time the guy starts up on some product and gets to about 215 shredded..(around 2% bf. pro-like conditioning.)

That all depends on how much and how long someone would juice and how much of it is muscle gained from juicing. You have to understand that I have been training for over 20 years now and most of that is without juice. I see a lot of guys on the stuff blowing up fast and then after they get off looking like they did before in no time and little gains left. Reason for that also is that they think they can maintain the size by continuing to train with hight volume, which at this point without juice will only make them loose more muscle then anything. It might be wise to start a proper HIT routine at this time to prevent overtraining and conserve as much muscle or even gain some after the cycle is completed. Of course, HIT would be my number one choice even with steroids.
I would recom. to train inteligent and try to reach your full potential wiithout steroids first - then see how much further you wanna go and weigh out the risk for yourself. As for myself...I dont see myself ever going to the top of the IFBB ranks as I dont think I wanna do what it takes to get there - I rather train hard, eat good and have a nice set of balls to be proud of - LOL

Nice to see intelligent posts here.
Obviously you have the body to back it up.
What about your diet? Do you do the traditional high protein diet. I'm specifically interested in pre and post workout nutrition.
Do you think HIT is advised to beginners as well? It like the idea of HIT because it's very time-efficient, so it's easy to incorperate when you have an active life and other hobbies. But i think it's more for advanced lifters because they know better how to stimulate the muscle and go all out.

I experiemented with high protein low carbs and everytime I try it I end up looking flat and having no energy to train. I think that higher carbs work best for me - as long as i keep my overal calorie intake low to burn fat. HIT works well for beginners but needs to be adjusted in volume, i.e a slightly higher volume is best..due to the fact that beginners can not train as intense as it is required to make HIT work - You right when it comes to an active life - I also have hobbies that includes flying helicopters..trust me - takes up a lot of time and is a lot of fun - who the hell wants to live in the damn gym anyway right?

Hi. I can relate to what you're saying. I competed in the 80's and once or twice in the early 90"s. I only did a few mild cycles of things like primobolin and a few winstrol tabs. I haven't taken anything since 1993 and I've always kept training hard and I think I look very good at 45 years of age. You definitely look outstanding for being natural now and I wanted to know if you feel there are any supplements that you find helpful such as Testosterone boosters, anti-estrogens like 6-oxo etc, or Gh releasing peptides? Or do you not take anything? I'd appreciate hearing your opinion on this since I feel like some of these supplements help me a bit.

LOL - thx bud! - Of course once you were at under 5 percent bodyfat, its hard to get used being around 10 - I had an injury to my wrist for a while now and decided to let it rest during the holidays - no cardio..no training - just being lazy and got some fat around my midsection now that I am trying to get rid of - nothing serious...just need to be camera ready for 08 so i can get some more cover work done - trust me...the magazines are very strict on wether they think ur in shape or - I blew a shoot for REPS magazine and showed up too soft - that wont happen again next time.
I attached some shots from the REPS shoot with Terry Goodlad which is an outstanding photographer out here in Vegas - he did a shoot with me but the photos werent accepted thanks to my fuck up - lol ..i learned my lesson
MR
p.s still think some of the photos turned out great

Looking forward to reading about your training program and other great advice & honest information.
Thanks very much for sharing.
Good luck!

wht do u have to say to people that doubt your natural status? And those who doubt musclemania's credibility as a "natural" bodybuilding organisation?
what sort of "natty" tests do they do, if any?
-
Also, how many sets do you normally do for each bodypart exclusing warmups?
thanks.

markus, i always bust my wrist when i train HIT(which is once every 3 months or so)
it really sucks, wrist injurys really really suck , i can't even wipe my ass!
really slow recovery too ( wrist ligaments have little blood supply= slow recovery)
anyway, wish you a fast recovery bro

lol - i DID NOT hurt my wrist from HIT workouts - if I tell you what did it you might not believe me after all - LOL - I used to be a street dancer (actually a very good one) and decided to do some "tricks (windmills/very difficult break move) - on the dance floor at empire ballroom here in Vegas (afterhours..I was shitfaced -lol) - as I came down from the last spin, I tried to catch myself to slow down and bent my entire wrist backwards - ouch! - xrays showed no broken bones or anything..it just really hurts still when I aply pressure to it. So I have to train around it till it gets better.
MR
ps. I never hurt myself during a HIT workout - all my workouts are extremely controlled and slow - so no ballistic impact on the joint - the failure that is reached is 100 percent muscular failure without any momentum involved...I consider it very safe if performed properly.

What do I say to them? - Nothing to be honest...I am here to let some people that are interested know about my experience with HIT. I dont care wether people think that i am not natural..to be honest I rather take it as a compliment. I have competed in not only Musclemania Drug tested shows but also NPC. I have seen guys in Musclemania shows get banned because of drug use. So the system is not perfect you right. I do have my doubts wether some of the guys that are in my class at times are natural. But in the end...the real competiton really is not against the OTHERS..its against yourself and your ability to be the better version of yourself from the year before.

Thank you.
The girlfriend and I might plan a trip there in the near future.
I will certainly look you up.
I must say your debut on this board has thus far been impressive.
You’ve garnered more respect from the Getbig populace than most “celebrity posters” who come on here – especially at this early stage.
Invariably, you’ll encounter a troll or two that will bust your balls without merit, but this is Getbig and that is to be expected from time to time.
Just keep doing what you’re doing, and I believe you’ll earn the respect of many more here.
Thanks again.
Looking forward to learning.

Welcome Marcus, great to have you here to support the sport!
Could you give us an example of your current workout split? And as a HIT trainer, what are some of your best lifts (lbs) for reps?
Thanks!

Thats a good question. I have done some power moves but those werent performed HIT style to be honest. Meaning, not 4 seconds down and 4 seconds up which is how I usually train. But for the record here is my best lifts (recorded at around 227lbs)
Benchpress: 455x3 (plus did a contest at Maxmuscle where I did my bodyweight for 36 reps)
Deadlift: 550x4
Squat : 600x4 (also did 315 for 22 reps once after doing a set of leg extension and Presses with whole stack on nautilus machine- puked right after and did one more set of hamstrings - that happend when Mike trained me at Golds in Venice)
Remember...its about achieving the highest contraction possible and not how much weight u can hoist around in shitty form. So dont be as stupid as me back then and try to lift a weight that you cant...rather focus on performing 6-10 reps in slow fashion with complete control. I ws lucky that I never seriously got hurt back then.
I will post my latest routines and workouts on my site soon - that includes Videoclips of them as well so u all can see what HIT in action really looks like.

so wheres those workouts of yours that u said u were going to post?
Here is an example of a Chest routine that I currently been experiementing with...
1.Incline Fly dumbell/Incline Press (1 superset 6-10 reps to failure on each)
2.Benchpress on smith machine (1 set of 6-10 reps to failure)
3. Dips with wide grip (using my IRONGRIP.com vest for added resistance)
4 working sets total - I been getting stronger each workout so far - if my gains slow down I will insert an extra rest day - chest is being trained approx every 4 days so far - a lot more frequency as before but I am getting stronger at this rate -
Gonna take a few days off however train a few clients out in San Francisco this weekend -for anyone that lives in the bay area and wants me to train em while out there...feel free to drop me an email ok.

Marcus,
Thanks for posting the routine.
You mention using a vest for dips.
How would you compare using a vest vs. a dip belt for dips?
I’ve been thinking of investing in a vest maybe for chins and other things like cardio, etc.
I visited the irongrip.com web site, but could not find their vests.
I’ve seen others where you can adjust the weight with removable inserts. Is that how yours works?
Have fun in San Fran.
Thanks again.
Your time is appreciated.

Sorry..did I say IRONGRIP? - lol - I meant closegrip.com - not sure what I was thinking...
I use the vest in most of my workouts, paticularly dips - its by far better then the belt since the vest doesnt bounce around all over the place and fits snug to ur body, you can also balance the weight out better then the conventional belt. Its simple to add weights in the 2 front pockets provided as well as large plates in the back making very balanced.
Great also for chins - Have done some HIT CARDIO with it too - did some uphill intervall walking which really kicks your ass. I dont like running since I am too heavy for it so I do the highest incline on the treadmill and add a 25pound plate for 12-15mins after my workouts - great cardio!!!
If u wanna get the vest make go to this link..
http://www.closegrip.com/adonis/benefits.html
Then mention my name in the order (Code:Markus) - they should be giving you a discount !!! - if they dont,email me direct and I will set up a order form for u to get a discount on it.

I do have to admit that its probably not cool to continue our conversations here in German for the sake of everyone to understand. However, its sad to see so much ingnorance still being around - i.e. people like haider that call a language they cant understand "stupid giberish'" - end of story.

You look great for a natural Markus, Ive been giving HIT a go now for a little bit over a year now and have made great gains on it so far compared to my previous high volume program.
Would you mind posting a your current HIT workout which you perform? (feel free to add the poundages).

I asked Markus if he thought he had good genetics, which I believe he does.
He hasn't answered, though I don't know why.
Strange.

I asked Markus if he thought he had good genetics, which I believe he does.
He hasn't answered, though I don't know why.
Strange.
Sorry I just back from a busy training seminar and coaching some clients in SF - Do i have good genetics? - Well, I think that I do of course - I was competing at 16 years of age and probably could've made it to the IFBB pros - I just dont think I wanna do what "it takes" so to speak to be a freak if u know what I mean.

hahahahaha here's a word of advice buddy: look around and learn the environment of getbig. Otherwise you won't last long. And you won't recover :-*
Dude why dont u take a hike and leave my thread alone - ur not wanted here - already got ur ass reported - dont need ur insults here buddy - get a life...and maybe a picture and profile along with that - so u can back up your big fat mouth for a change.
I am laughing my ass off at clowns like you.
MR

hahaha and here I am shitting my pants cuz u "reported me" LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
I didn't bad mouth anyone here buddy, your failure to understand sarcasm and cluelessness about getbig's environment is hilarious!
hahahah I got reported ;D
Don't you see why getbig is so popular? Cuz us getbiggers don't have to suck up to pro's or any competitors; we're free to say almost whatever the fuck we want to say.
If you don't like it, I suggest u take a hike instead of getting your panties in a bunch here ;)
U be taking a hike soon trust me kiddo - now go have a cup of shut the fuck up - LOL
btw - I am not ur ARYIAN brother bitchboi - as a matter of fact I found this to be rather offensive - my grandpa was gassed in the holocaust and I dont think u have the right to call out words like aryian here period - but even more...I take this shit very personal now...ur now taking shit to another level..where I dont think you wanna go with me bitchboi.

Hi Markus,
I’ve often wondered – and maybe you could be the one to set the record straight since you were close to the man.
Mentzer has sometimes been criticized as making his best showings BEFORE ever using HIT principles.
The basic argument is that Mike preached the benefits of HIT after using other training methods to achieve his success in bodybuilding.
How accurate are those statements?
Not that it matters much either way, as there are a plethora of people who’ve made incredible progress with HIT to support its effectiveness.
I’m just curious about this bit of Mike Mentzer history.
Thanks.

That's stupid, I only made a few facetious comments. Most of my posts here were legitimate questions.

Mike and I used to talk about his old training techniques and the opposite is the truth. Mike used to train up to 4 hours a day! and made almost no progress - He already competed and looked pretty good but of course with Mike's genetics....any program wouldve probably worked - I am not aware of his best 'showings' and him not using HIT - trust me..he practiced what he preached - I paid him to train me for 6 months (till I ran out of money-lol) and my gains were incredible - he also trained along with me since he was trying to get his body back i n shape after suffering from a fall in his staircase which resulted in a torn triceps and some back issues - we started training about 2 months prior to his death - I will always remeber out workouts...nobody has ever pushed me harder and I dont think nobody ever will including myself.
Speaking of progress guys - I wanted to show u guys a pic that I took just 4 weeks apart from eachother using HIT and a higher carb lowfat/low calorie diet (plus cardio) - as u can tell...some insane progress made here with only 3 workouts a week at 20-30mins each!

You're melting down all over the place over a facetious comment, goddamn dude, hate to say it but you're too easy :-\ I wasn't even trying to push your buttons.
I'll say it again: Look around this place, see how people interact. You're not gonna change anything, so you either understand it and get used to it or keep being offended and make yourself look ridiculous.
Your fascist ways are not understood here, we don't try to suppress what the people say unless they get too out of line. Jk ;)

Last warning Haidar.
The thinly-veiled quasi-racist comments end here... or I'll go through the thread page by page and delete ALL your posts.
Don't think that Marcus is the only person to have reported you here, several other people have reported your posts too... and from what I've read they were fully justified in doing so.
The Natural Board does not tolerate trolls, if you want to argument-monger move on over to the Y with all the other children who don't play well with others.

nice work man, i don't think you ever posted you diet, unless i missed it somewhere. Could you post a sample diet and calorie intake

You're taking this a little too far, I only meant for it to be light hearted humor :-\
If some people don't understand that I'm being facetious, then it aint my fault that they are a little too thin-skinned... my god, imagine if these people ever turn on the TV and hear similar 'offensive' things ::)
It's funny that you didn't call dragon on his "trolling," even though it was the same shit I was doing... just that in my case some one chose to get offended. Logical man as you may seem, you're not showing yourself to be a reasonable one. A little "trolling" here and there doesn't hurt anyone, and surely I didnt mean to do so or to derail the thread.
Now for mrmentzer, I wouldn't want to apologise cuz I want you to learn about what getbig is like (i.e. people fuck around, its all light hearted) but let me say I'm sorry about the 'aryan' comment. I'm sorry about your grandpa's passing in that manner.
Now you can all fuck off, I'm exitting this thread :D

huh? in which post was i trolling?
anyway, markus , take a look at my own thread,
if you had half of those trolls in your thread you'd be smashing your keyboard HIT style no doubt

Hmmm...the thing about HIT is...without supervision I think I'd fuck it up. I have only one set to get it right. Right now I am doing HST.
How does your style differ from Dorian Yates' Blood and Guts?

although i was excited to see his routine and went to his website then i realized it was just a gimmick to advertise for himself....oh well...he still looks awesome no doubt about it..

Yes.
That’s called “being able to eat & pay your bills.”
But if you read through the thread, in addition to answering other types of questions, Markus is kind enough to drop little bits and pieces of info about his methods, which is more than most PROS do.
He’ll likely dispense more input gradually over time to keep people checking this thread as well as his own site, and hopefully become customers.
If he provides for free all of the information he has in one or two posts here, then not only will this thread die, but he’ll be shooting himself in the foot from a business standpoint. This is the guy’s livelihood.
Anyone who wants ALL of the details of Markus’ training and nutrition can feel free to buy his DVD’s and join his site.
Remember that MR is not obligated to provide us with anything here.
But he’ll only continue so long as all parties benefit – his and ours.

I fear you are right. I can't blame him. Everyone wants to make money and he wouldn't be making money by giving out free advice/videos.

yea im not blaming him everyones got to eat i was just hoping... :-\ :-[

Guys,
Don’t feel awkward or bad about asking him things.
That’s part of the reason he’s here – to answer some questions.
Just don’t expect to get a free online seminar on this thread.
Markus seems like a cool dude, and if you have reasonable/realistic expectations and treat him respectfully, you can probably look forward to learning a little bit from and about him.
I personally liked hearing him talk a bit about Mike and giving a general outline of his current split on page 1 of this thread.

I will be coming out with more DVD's soon so u can get a better idea of what a real HIT workout suppose to look like - also of course video clips wich I am now starting to film during my workouts. So I think you get a better idea of what the intensity suppose to be when doing a HIT bout - The video of me curling the bar is only going to positive failure ...wait till you see or feel a set taken to all 3 levels of failure - this shit is super hard and to the point - and thats exaclty why its so productive - btw...I do around 2-3 sets for arms at times, experiementing with different angles and trying to also incorporate hammer grip curls - so I dont just do one exercise...but yes I do 1 set per exercise - which brings it up to 2-3 sets total every 5-7 days - more about my arm strategies in my upcoming v-clip downloads on my site.

hey bud - here is a video of me taken on stage after I trained with Mike for 12 weeks - he also helped me with dieting the last crucial weeks before the show - I only trained about 3x 30mins a week back then and did a shitload of cardio of course - but just to show u..even during contest prep - HIT WORKS!
MR
ps. I will aiming to be in the same shape if not a lot harder this year - Superbody Miami here I come!

By 3 stages of failure i take it u mean....positive,negative and static??
What did u do b4 HIT??
davie
-
Im guessing markus is at his comp about now, hope he kicks ass.
Im a DC'er (at the moment), had great results, Im up about 24lbs in little over a year so im happy.
Iv also enjoyed it b/c of the strength increases, i take it u up the weight as soon as u reach ur 6-10 rep target b4 positive failure?
Thats my rough understanding, reach ur target b4 positive failure (so u up weight next time), but continue until u fail, then need help.chest weight up etc and go for negative failure, then wen u cant control the negative, u go for static failure (holding the weight at the biggest point of contraction).
Correct me if im way off bro!!

Hey Markus,
I'm really enjoying your post. I've been on HIT for about 3 months now, came over from High Vol, been making the best gains of my life. I always try to mimic the intensity you had in MM's video.
I hope you don't let the trolls run you off, I'm sure a bunch of us would like to keep you around, you seem like a great source of knowledge on HIT...
Thanks again...

Good for u MadjimF....i Pm'd u about ur recent convertion.
Iv recently moved from DC to more HIT style training. Had great success with DC, but wandering if HIT style can bring me same/better results?!
What does ur routine look like?
davie
-
Thanks, I sent you a message, but my routine I guess is the classic Art Jones style....
RIght now doing 3 days a week, m-w-f monday and fri would look like:
Leg Ext, Leg Press, Seating Ham curls, Calf Raises on leg press.
Shoulder Flys, Shoulder Press, Pec deck, decline press, dips, pullover, reverse pulldowns, machine low rows, then 1 super slow neg chin up to finish back and wake up the biceps, barbel curls, 1 dumbbell behind head press for tri, and rev grip pulldown, then 1 set of abs somethings...
I go very quick really non stop, takes about 20--25 min max.
On wed I mix it up and just try other stuff, may do deadlifts, squats, or whatever, a little more relaxed but still intense.

yeh got it mate, hows the ghains come from this (starting weight/present weight). What wer u doing b4?

since when have you been natural?

Sorry been busy updating my site with new clips and training videos - I have not always been natural as I think I already stated in some other posts - I never really used a lot or gear - dabbed with it on and off during 96-98 - then stopped it and competed in several Musclemania shows whre I now hold my PRO title.
thx for asking!

Well, I can only speak for myself - again I am not claiming to be a drug free for life bodybuilder, but what I do say is that it is possible for me to be around 210-215 ripped to the bone at 5'10 natural - my arms currently measure over 21inches ! - I am training for another show right now and will be posting pics here soon as well as video clips on my site.
I havent touched a drug in years and dont plan to ever go back as I dont see a point in it. I dont care wether other guys in the show are using or getting away with it...all I care is to improve myself and beat my own physique each year - thats the only measure that counts - you cant control the others...only ur own hard work and dedication matter - and in the end..the battle is only againts yourself isnt it.

This thread was going good for awhile, any new info, what's going on with everyone?
I'm still HIT, been doing two days a week due to time restraints, but still seeing results....Going to start cutting July 1, going to bump it back up to 3 days a week then, and do cardio Hi-iT on off days, just like 10-20 min at most....
