mike mentzer ideal routine
Hey!
This routine just popped up on my YouTube.
I'm going to give it a go.
Does anyone have any experience with it?
It seems like the whole routine can be run through in about 20 mins
What would you guys think about doing a second lap, and finishing up the first?
Anyways, thanks

If it's Mentzer's HIT lifting routine, take a look @ Dorian Yates Blood n Guts as well.
Usually with HIT you aim to complete 1 working set and generally you'll be too tired to get a second set. Older guys find that working the upper end of the rep range or possibly 2 working sets is beneficial to their joints and reduces the risk of injury.
Also, search for Doggcrapp training.
Edit: I'm not sure what you mean by "take a second lap".Last edited by almostgone; 07-06-2024 at 09:50 AM.
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

This is fact. Just getting to my car is a priority…
As for the 20 minutes 3 times a week Mike claims im not sure i believe it, well, i dont. But if he was that gifted then sure I guess.
I usually spend about 45 to 55 mins per session. I usually do 2 warmer sets sometimes 3 on a major movement instead of 1 warmer and 1 failure like he preaches. I just feel better that way and my joints fill with blood more

The thing is that most people don't start out lifting like Mentzer. I don't think Mentzer was even lifting like that to build his physique. That doesn't mean that type of physique can't be achieved with HIT. I'm just sayin that until someone does that from the beginning, we'll never really know. Right now I don't do more than 2-3 exercises (4 sets each) per workout, per body part. For example on chest day I'll just do cable crossovers and incline dumbell press. That gets me sore. I focus on every movement, bot concentric and eccentric. I focus on the muscle and really get it pumped. I think I could get big how I'm doing it now if I started this way, but there's no way I could fine out now. I really don't think we need 4 different exercises per body part to grow. At one point my elbow, my shoulder, my hip etc. hurt like a bitch cause I was doing too much... now I'm pain-free and just as muscular.
