Is Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty System really that much more effective than volume training?

Does anyone ever like to be wrong?

I prefer to take it to maybe one rep before failure as I often train alone.

Just because Chick views a thread entitled "Pictures of my erect penis" does NOT make him gay. I don't even know why you bring that up...

But isn't also true that a mature, evolved individual realizes the impossibility of being right at all times?

You couldn't be more wrong, bro.

Anyone else notice that he's no longer a mod here?

Or is this only news to me?

Is Chick's constant need to be right about everything all the time undermining his credibility as Athlete's Rep? Can such a childish approach to life be reconciled with the level of Maturity demanded by the Athlete's Rep position? Is it time for a change?

I don't know many people who yearn to be wrong, do you? How is he different to anyone else? Do you think you're right?

"Childish approach to life"....somewhat like your stupid ass threads that you start.

The reason for that Mr. Fag is because this goon has a habit of doing the same.

I think Mike Mentzer had an awesome physique.

Mr Nobody · « **Reply #19 on:** July 27, 2009, 02:32:34 PM »

Mentzer tried to educate the bodybuilders as to the least amount of excecise to build muscle not hanging out with the gym rats all day everday a great guy sorely missed.

Royalty · « **Reply #20 on:** July 27, 2009, 02:37:01 PM »

I dont think that 95% of the people that train would benefit from heavy duty. I dont think most people could pour all the intensity that is need in one set. Those people would be better off training with medium to high volume.

Guys like Yates are rare. They had the focus to train to utter failure....and one set was sufficient. Lots of people think they are training to failure but they are decieved.

in a word......NO

i do believe that most bodybuilders over train

but no......mentzer's heavy duty was too extreme

you can perform 10-12 sets for big bodyparts and not over train

but mentzer would tell you that you only need to perform one set per exercise

just my .02

wild willie · « **Reply #22 on:** July 27, 2009, 02:43:25 PM »

mentzer himself trained with closer to 10 sets per bodypart

a well known pro from the 70s and 80s told me that

mike would definitely not follow volume training but did not perform only 0ne set to failure........so there you have it.

dyslexic · « **Reply #23 on:** July 27, 2009, 02:56:08 PM »

Can't imagine Mentzer ever having very long training sessions with his clients-- or very often for that matter.

Charge by the minute, your only gonna be here for 5 minutes and I'll see you in 10 days when youv'e recovered.

Where did all those overtrained monsters go? What did they do in all of that "off-time"??

Bones · « **Reply #24 on:** July 27, 2009, 03:15:31 PM »

How the hell did this thread change from one that was about Chick to one about Mentzer??
