Got a story for ya and I think that I posted it once already. So a buddy of mine went to the Mentzer seminar twice. Once in 94 and 96 if I recall correctly. Not sure which time this was, but he told me that all the guys there were huge. A lot of them were locals who trained in the gym that Mike came to. He told me that they really did train with HIT way which I still kind doubt, but anyway when Mike was done with the seminar there was this other guy who talked about drugs and cycles. I guess Mike for obvious reasons didn't go into that kinda stuff. So basically what this guy recommended I would imagine thru Mike was this. 2 grams a week of your fav kind of test per week, 1500 mgs of and anabolic like EQ and 30 on and 30 off of an oral like for example Anadrol at 8 PER DAY!!!! LOL Every 8 weeks you took a 4 weeks break off the oils. NOw, you think that someone could grow rather well while doing 2 to 3 sets per muscle group doing a cycle like that one? 
cool story,,, sad too and thats y mike wasnt even close to winnin the o bc the only thing biggr then his mouth was his belly and now seems to be his recomended intake of drugs,,, thats y hit preex styl training has weight but the frequency and possibly volume is way off.... i nevr seen ppl get in bettershape stayin out of the gym,if that were the case every middleaged pencilneckpotbelly would hav a gr8 build off of 3x per wk espec if they weekend warrior on their sets so same thing wit guys that sauce,all things equal its gotta go to the guy that trains mor not less and of course doing mov rit staying injury free recovery etc
a guy that spends 20hrs a wk liftin for ten yrs will prob look better than a guy doin 10 hrs a wk per ten yrs... grantd they start with similar circumstances bdytypes weights etc, u get the point
