High-Intensity Training the Mike Mentzer Way (NTC SPORTS/FITNESS)

Product Information

Som sagt är jag fortfarande i en fas av experiment och varje vecka och pass som passerar blir bättre. Jag kan tänka mig att sänka antalet träningsdagar till fyra och kanske tre om detta fortsätter att fungera och om det känns bra.

The only problem I ran into in his explanations is that the science can sometimes be vague, but following his logic makes a lot of sense for his training methodology. These anecdotes provide nothing of use to the aspiring bodybuilder and are also dubious as far as general inspiration. He doesn't use failure with a negative connotation, instead, after each workout template he says, “Congratulations, you have achieved failure. Mentzer recommended lifting as little as once per week using his methods; we've since learned that you can effectively use High-Intensity training more than four to seven times per month. Dual-factor works with fitness and fatigue, and you can think of it similar to how you get tired during a workout, you build up fatigue over a longer extent of time to create adaption on a larger time scale.As a 27-year-old IFBB Pro League rookie in 1979 noted especially for his delt, arm, and leg density, Mentzer was a phenomenon.

Further, if one set is all you need for each exercise because multitudes aren't necessary, why are two exercises better than 1 exercise per workout?Jag vill upp och ge min kropp stryk för att sedan ta ett bad, träna min hjärna, äta ordentlig mat och kolla på några schyssta tennismatcher från Roland Garros.

så länge har jag kastat många övningar i sopsäcken och bytt ut vissa andra mot övningar som lättare tillåter träning förbi failure.

Mentzer came to believe in a bodybuilding approach by observation and then stumbled upon Objectivism later on, then tried to justify his belief. In the earlier chapters especially, Mentzer tried too hard to seem smart by using unnecessary and meaningless words with the only purpose to make the reader think of him as an intellectual superior. It was so strange because in Zen you are encouraged to focus on action and the body whereas Mike Mentzer in this book about weight-lifting is telling you to focus on your mind. Whereas Jones prescribed one 20-rep set per exercise, Mentzer lowered the ideal rep range to six to nine: Choose a weight so heavy that you reach absolute failure at six to nine reps, then keep going. For example, in our back routine, pullovers (which isolate the lats) are done immediately before pulldowns (which work the lats with the biceps and rear delts).
