Title: who has done this routine?
Post by: animal1991 on September 11, 2012, 08:26:19 AM
*1 set to failure
*6-10 reps
*slow negatives
*minimal warm-up

Did you get good results with this type of routine?

When it says:

1. Straight Arm Pull Downs
supersetted with
2. Close-Grip Pulldowns
3. Bent-Over Barbell Rows

Do you do all 3 exercises in a row or just the first two?

I have gotten good strength gains with HIT before but then moved to a traditional training routine.

It sounds like a good idea to maintain my strength while dieting and so on.

I've always liked Mike Mentzer's philosophy on diet and training, but never seemed to follow it thoroughly.

Go to gym. Lift weight. Repeat. Rest. Grow.

KEEP IT SIMPLE

Yes And you only do the first two with no rest. Catch your breath then to the next exercise. Rest two more minutes or so then do another body part. Works if you use strict form and push hard. Rest and sleep as much as you can in between workouts.

even mentzer didnt follow it thoroughly

and the heavy duty diet principles may work in a test tube lab, bubble controlled environment, but as you know, real world application is not gonna work. Even if juiced to the gills

The problem with the routines Mentzer recommended after he finished competing he never used. During his best physique days his routine was a two way split. Monday was legs, chest and triceps. Wednesday was lats, delts and biceps. Friday he came back to Monday. Next week Monday he would start with Wednesday's routine. Days of the week were used for clarity in explanation. He used between 6 to 3 work sets a body part outside of warm up. Many have seen him train and I have heard he used more sets than what he wrote about. I just wonder if it's the Yates thing in that he warmed up to that one work set.

His first major win the Mr. America he used a whole body routine three times a week using both Nautilus and conventional weights.

That is not a "routine".

it is if you can PROGRESSIVELY OVERLOAD on it ;)

recently my squat and lunge weights have increased and quads and ass are bigger 8)

in my honest experience, every single fucking time i've increased my training loads my muscles have gotten bigger, EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TIME man ;D

but sadly, my curl weights have not increased at all, and therefore my biceps still suck ass :'( :'( :'(

That would actually require going to a gym and working out, which means less time posting on getbig

you sir have female tendencies.
