  • @ TheHoffmanHouse checkout on YouTube - True Fitness Solutions weightlifting do's and dont's. Performing slower or natural paced repetitions overtime will keep the joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles healthy/strong. Most trainees never place into thought that hard training on the body effects the body in the long term rather than just the short term of body appearance. Explosive reps over years of training will cause severe damage.

  • Just wondering. Mike mentzer always talks about how doing your reps slowly are better, but i read in a bodybuilder book, the faster you do em (without sacrificing form) the better.

  • What other muscles are used in deadlifts besides back and legs?

  • @TheHoffmanHouse traps, shoulders, forearms, hamstrings, glutes, calves, arms (generaly)

  • Who the FUCK is mike mentzer...the old fucker or the youn gguy woriking out.

  • wtf who is mike mentzer, the old guy coaching, or the ripped guy?

  • @TheHoffmanHouse

    Blasphemy, Mike Mentzer was robbed of an Olympia title in the seventies by Arnold Swarzenegger! Mike was in awesome shape, but sweatybollocks won it due to his superior posing and reputation! Mike was a legend, may he rest in peace.

  • @Ultimatetruthseeker1 i asked who is mike mentzer u dumbass..

  • @TheHoffmanHouse

    I just informed you. If you did some high intensity training, you would have more time to spend in the library learning how to read perhaps?

  • @Ultimatetruthseeker1 You dumb peice of shit listen closely this time maybe you can asnwer correctly. IS MIKE MENTZER THE OLD GUY OR THE YOUNG RIPPED GUY IN THIS VIDEO? for your answer u simply say, the old guy or young guy..dumb ass piece of shit.

  • @TheHoffmanHouse i didnt ask for a history lesson on him, i asked which of the two he is. cuz the old one seems like its him, but he seems weak and not musculare

  • @TheHoffmanHouse

    Couldn't find the library huh?! Mike Mentzer is the elder. I stated that he was a Mr Olympia contender in the seventies, this video was shot in the nineties. A monkey would be able to deduce from this that Marco was the younger, because he is too young in this video to have been an Olympia contender in the seventies! Is that clear enough for you? If I am a dumb-ass piece of shit what does that make you? I suggest therapy my friend!

  • @Ultimatetruthseeker1 lmaoo ok, the old guy, thanks

    lmao

  • What is the name of the song that starts at around 2:00?

  • Reminds me of Vince Lombardi "Gentlemen, this is a football"

    to which Max replied "Slow down coach, you're going too fast for us!" Fundamental 101.

    WTF he only works out once a week? I train 2-3x a week with this intensity, and I don't look like him :(

    Why didn't he have him do deadlifts at the beginning of the workout?

  • it was a f*ckin' demonstration for this video xD

    the weights on this barbell are NEVER the max of a beast like him!

  • He looks Godly, but, what a clown...

  • He should be wearing gloves and a weight-lifting belt. I'm surprised Mr. Mentzer didn't mention that. Nonetheless, he's a legendary trainer. I miss him.

  • @piousone With one plate? You must be kidding me.

  • @BulldozerJack I agree there is such a thing as "over caution". However, my first instructor always taught never to take chances, espeically with one's back. Most cases, if you mess up your back that's pretty much it. I could be wrong though.

  • @piousone If you train with proper form, there is no such thing as 'taking chances'. I've been deadlifting for five years now and had previous lower back problems (I had a moving company) and never use a belt. You can use a belt if you're doing your heaviest sets, but you shouldn't wear the belt at all times since you're preventing your lower back and abs (intrathoracic pressure) to function properly.

  • lol it was the last exercise he done several other exercises before

  • Happy Bday Mike, Rest in peace

  • Love the guy doing curls in the background @2:00

  • All you guys calling him weak are just showing you have no clue about bodybuilding. I'm not even going to explain it to you. You just have *no* clue and it's funny. :-)

  • If you watch the entire DVD, you'll see that Markus goes through a very grueling high intensity back workout before doing dead lifts. He's already exhausted before doing these sets.

  • the fuk? haha this guy is weakkkk

  • lol why do people comment about the weight marcus lift. Remember 1 thing, this is HIGH INTENSITY WORKOUT, where doing an exercise with perfect forms till absolute failure. so what if you can lift very heavy weights but doing it in a shitty form? its how we work our muscle that counts

  • the only reason he deadlifted such a small weight for his size is deadlifting light weights in the beggining wears you down by alot, if he just stacked the 3 plates on without any of the easy shit he probably could have gotten atleast 15 reps

  • you guys have to understand that they filmed the entire training video in 1 day. At least I belive I remember Markus stating that at some point.

  • Mike: One more ...

    Awe....

    Mike: Come on!!!! One more!!!

    Awe...

    Mike: Come one... i know you have one more in you. MOVE THAT WEIGHT PUSSY!!!

  • what a miserable pussy! 140 kg is too much for him?! look at how big he is!!

  • @zignationer you have no idea of what you are talking about. Markus was already exausted of the pullovers and lat pulldowns. bodybuilding is about working out a muscle group to its full capacity, not how much you can lift.

  • Some people in the comments just gotta leave there egos behind...

  • if this guy were to deadlift conventionally, he'd be putting up some serious weight, however he's trying to lift it with as much emphasis on the specific muscles as possible. makes it a lot harder.

  • You got to remember that size doesn't mean strength, strength comes from syncronisation of muscle fibres, if you work for strength your working to increase the amount of motor units/muscle fibres that are employed into lifting, thats why you lift heavy or fast, bodybuilders work to increase muscle therefore rep range will be along 8-10 reps powerlifters 1-3 he may be big but his muscles may not engage the same way as powerlifters do.

  • i just did a personal best with 485Ibs.. hoping for more after i've improved my technique..

    Thanks for the vid!

  • @Godsillah88 the first comment related to what this video is for, well done

  • He paid a Big Price for his glory....

  • mike and ray were both ill by this stage in their lives. mike was recovering from a nervous breakdown and ray had a kidney disease. so their appearances had changed due to the stress/impact of their illness.

    and the lifter is at the end of an extremely hard workout so most of us wouldn't even be standing after what he's been thru.

  • once every 6 days? what?

  • It's just a demo, people. He's not going to have a lot of weight on there. Duh!!!

  • After watching this video and reading the comments, I noticed there was a lot of speculation about the amount of weight Markus was deadlifting. People seem to forget that Markus is a bodybuilder, not a powerlifter. To all the keyboard warriors out there who claim that they can deadlift more than this, that's fantastic, I'm sure Markus is very pleased for you. Just remember, you are the one watching a video of him, not the other way around. Haters gonna hate.

  • @adammichaelbreen watching it for the heavy duty style, could give a shit about marcus, hes a little bitch

  • @adammichaelbreen It doesn't matter who is watching who. I'd say people are watching this video because of Mentzer more than because of Markus. You can replace Markus with any other good bodybuilder but you can't replace Mentzer because of his technique, which is the important part here. Anyway people are underestimating the fact that Markus is doing HIT here, not a regular routine. He emphasizes on the negative and that is why he doesn't have a lot of weight on.

  • @adammichaelbreen It's like people somehow managed to miss the point of this video. It's not about how much you can lift, it's about how you lift it.

  • @adammichaelbreen lol, HGH, haters gonna hate

  • @adammichaelbreen Another thing some folks don't realize is the perfection of the form that Markus is using.

  • if he wanted to inpress the girls he'd put more weight on the bar ;-)

  • @roidersRhomos Yea but in todays times you need them or you are a loser Buhahahaah Get Owned

  • hmm i do this as my first exercise rather then last so i can get the most out of it..

  • What happened to poor Mike and ray Mentzer? They went from massive herculean figures to decrepit old men in less than ten years.. I know they both past away in 2001.. I`m not trying to make fun of them I just don`t understand what happened.. Does anybody know why their health took a sudden turn for the worse?

  • @Goldenchild795

    Mike and Ray died within two days of each other. Ray had been ill for some time and Mike had mental problems for many years. It's a shame they were both tragic figures. They were brothers and best friends though, something that you don't often find with brothers.

  • @Goldenchild795 steroids, bro. not being a dick but these dudes always end up 150 lb men after they stop. look at some olympic lifters (natural) who gained muscle the hard way. they're still big (and maybe fatter) in their old age. it all goes away.

  • @secutorclaudius i find it funny that you think olympic lifters are natural. many oly lifters have been disqualified for using steroids.

  • mike ROIDZer

  • mike ROIDzer

  • roids

  • @steroidsR4losers He rioded so much..Just look at him Hes nothing compared to what he used to be...If he was natural he would still look the same

  • @paperpro3223

    Join us, my friend!

    We need to expose and humiliate these FRAUDS.

    Join our force!

    Stay natural buddy!

  • @steroidsR4losers How do I join..I want to..I need to make an alias, right?

  • @paperpro3223

    You should become steroidsR4losers6 or whatever name you come up with.

    We like to expose these FRAUDS on the STEROID videos!

    We support natural sports, not STEROID CHEATING DRUG users!

    Stay natural buddy!

  • @steroidsR4losers yo you're everywhere no one likes you and honestly you should spend more time with family, work and the gym than on youtube going around every 'steroid video'. You idiot.

  • @steroidsR4losers .. hows it cheatin? u work hard as fuck.. get a life... no one cares about ur lame little crusade on youtube.

  • @obezana

    You do. ;)

    Stay natural buddy!

  • Mike ROIDZer

  • @ all haters.. they filmed this movie with ALL heavy exercises on one day. Im pretty sure none of you guys would be able to do 20 diff. Heavy Sets for the whole body on one day.

  • @tomry1 What's funny is that most people can't even deadlift 315 lol.

  • This is spectacular!

    Thank you for showing.

  • Can this guy talk any slower ???

  • Mike says "see you in 6 days", is that too much rest?

  • @Soccasteve FUCK NO. perfect amount of rest. systemic AND localized recovery is necessary

  • um this is kind of gay...maybe its me but that music just don't seem right for dead lifting and why is Marcus so oily?

  • Pussy. He's not even locking out.

  • I strongly disagree.Without strenght your muscle dont elevate even a piece of paper.

    To grow the muscles need strenght first.

    But this is a steroid bodybuilding issue.As a natural bodybuilder the estetic is more important,even without to be a 300pound animal.

  • its just a video its not his real workout.

  • who's mike talking to?

  • What is the name of the song????

  • He doesnt even lock out. Whimp.

  • man i want this sound tracked haha

  • who invited the downsyndromes

  • Kind of an awkward post. Dude fails after 2 reps at 315 and gets asked how much more he can do for more reps?

  • Can't believe it's been 10 yrs since the Mentzer bros died. And only 2 days apart.

  • this are some faggots. fuck u...

  • sadly, both the Mentzer brothers are looking pretty grim and unhealthy in these videos.......

    Mike looks like a very sick old man and sounds same........so shocking....and sad...

  • @marsh8417 yea buddy keep talking trash but i bet you cant do what he is doing at the cadence he is doing it in and with that dicipline

  • What's with Mike's posture? He is hunched over.

  • I fucking LOVE this Exersice even more than my baby mama !!!

  • @lorenablocher li love and hate it

  • WOW! Mike's a wreck here.... sad....

  • NAME OF THIS SONG?

  • name of son?

  • oh, mike, you nutter.. . despite being the man who prided himself on 'logic' - he sure is a superfluous teacher.

  • Mike and Ray look like geeks. This is what happens when you run out of roids and follow heavy duty.

  • LOL weak !!! look at his grip too, he almost drops it at the top

  • Also another point to bring up that maybe not many people are noticing is the fact that he's controlling the negative for a very decent amount of time for most all except of course the last rep in which he reached failure. So all you people saying he looks like he could deadlift more...I'm sure he could deadlift a lot more just not with in the controlled manner that he does here with 315.

  • Terrible. Why not show it from the side so the form is demonstrated? And while you are at it take off your shirt and pants so the form shows. And ditch the music..

  • @marsh8417 He is a bodybuilder not a powerlifter you fucking idiot. The judges at Olympia don't ask how much you can deadlift.

  • OK, so ive been trying to do deadlifts for a while now but every single time i mess up my back hardcore and it screws my leg training over for at least a week. Nebody got some tips?

  • all these comments are ridiculous, saying he is weak and not strong etc etc...first of all it was his last exercise which makes a world of difference! I myself after a year and 8 months of training, after almost 10 years off, can work up to 315 for 3 sets of 6 after 2 warm up sets, but i always do deads first. If i made it the last exercise i know i would be hard pressed to get those same numbers, Oh did i mention im 180 lbs!! Another thing is his form was absolutely perfect!!

  • That's one obscenely wide ass grip he's taking.

  • Who the hell has ever tried to do deadlifts with their "thumbs on top"?

  • What a great muscle boy. He looks like a peacock!

  • Mentzer looks and sounds like an old man. Yet he wasn't.

  • maybe he was on off carbs Lol or no juuice at that time LMAO

  • Spot on how how the Techinque and Posture is spoke about in this video. :P

  • @guessmynamen00b: sure, whatever you say. And I can penis press 900 kg.

  • @WorldMan1975 Hahahah...penis press?  Is that on youtube?

  • This is strange.. why the fuck do you care about how strong he is?? hes a bodybuilder not a fucking weightlifter!

    Who cares is hes strong or not. that's not his goal of his sport, what a bunch or retards you are

  • @stony911 This is true to an extent, but 315 is not heavy for a deadlift by any stretch of the imagination. Especially when you consider that he looks like he benches at least 300.

    It would have been more understandable if his last set had been 405. A guy his size should be able to pull 500 of the floor at minimum. The cognitive dissonance here is like having a 4 cylinder Honda under the hood of a Peterbilt semi truck.

  • This is really pathetic..

  • Go to failure, i love that shit. If you want to bitch around the gym and not break a sweat go to planet bitches where you can get free tootsie rolls and wait on free pizza nite.

  • @youngfred116 pizza! mmmmmmmmmmmm.

  • marsh8417 , talk to me when your in his position you fuckin retard,

  • @13andincrediblycut "being only 13, can deadlift 616lbs RAW"

    Not sure if troll.

    Apparently there are thousands of you people all over the internets, that can come straight from the womb bending horseshoes. And yet, we never see a video or hear about you competing.

    Look, the World record suited DL for a teen is 683 pounds. You really expect people to take your claims seriously?

  • Also, I like how not one person did any research. His name is Markus Reinhardt which Mentzer mentions during the video. He focuses on HIT training and is a pro natural bodybuilder. Whether he's done roids in his past or not he is still massive for a pro at 21" arms in the off season. Yeah.... you all know nothing hahahahaha.

  • @Ikats "pro natural" ?? shows you know jack shit about bodybuilding, those of us that know the inside scoop on this industry know there is no such thing as natural. test, wintrol, igf, gh, insulin are the mainstays of "natural" training.

  • @bodizone1 I never said he was "actually" natural. So your whole argument is just wrong instantly... lol

  • @Ikats "pro natural" ?? shows you know jack shit about bodybuilding, those of us that know the inside scoop on this industry know there is no such thing as natural. test, wintrol, igf, gh, insulin are the mainstays of "natural" training. mentzer knows the same, if not less info than todays average lifter.

  • Why is everyone on youtube so dumb? The guy said "I'm living off fish" so he's clearly contest dieting with very low carbs, it's the end of his workout, and he's doing one of the most taxing compound exercises. It's also like Retronicer said, HIT. His form is flawless and he is flexing his lower back and hamstrings as hard as he possibly can while lifting this weight. If any of you payed any attention and knew anything about bodybuilding you wouldn't be bashing him.

  • He trains once every 6 days?? I guess he means deadlifts!

  • motherfuckers wanna do 1 rep and grow

  • He sucks. I could demonstrate better form due to the fact that me, being only 13, can deadlift 616lbs RAW with no steriod-aid or any other drugs and using perfect form and stance whilst doing so!

    I have titles for best technique in deads in school and fitness ones as well!

  • @13andincrediblycut Hahaha best troll ever.

  • @GeneralSeptem yeah too bad that he deleted his account

  • @13andincrediblycut Who gives a shit?! Put your video up so we can critique.

  • i wish mike menzter was my trainer

  • @ThePhillip I'm with you there. His H.I.T. training system was the best thing for me. i do it once ever 2-3 months for 2 weeks. A great shocker for muscles.

  • Two reps at 140kg??!! Pathetic. Lay off the juice eat some proper food and do some proper training. Fake muscle has no strength.

  • @marsh8417 lol i know- i cud do 7 reps of 137kg when i was about 15 haha

  • @marsh8417 he is pretending..you can tell

  • @marsh8417 This is HIT, not some crappy powerlifting program 8*3 with 10 min breaks. This is balls to the walls, all-in training.

  • @Retronicer "This is balls to the walls, all-in training."

    LOL and I guess that's why bodybuilders have so much more power and strength than powerlifters.

    

  • @marsh8417

    its a fucking demonstration of an exercise. showing good form . fuck the fuck off

  • @marsh8417 If powerlifters used perfect form they wouldnt be able to do more than two reps either. plus they look like shit too

  • @chugajug774 LOL @ this comment. Poortroll is poor.

  • @marsh8417 I agree man, but to be honest, you can get that big natural. He's really not big at all.

  • @marsh8417 juice should make him much much stronger than your average guy. you're right man this is fucking awful. i could do 120kg for 5 reps at 16 with no training and shitty form. this guy sucks.

  • @marsh8417 Well as they said in the beginning, he is tired. This was his last exercise. Besides, when building muscles it doesnt mather how much more weight you take then the other guy, do as heavy as you can with proper form.

  • @marsh8417 Tell that to Ronnie Coleman!

  • @marsh8417 This is a trainings video! I think Markus does in his free training much more!

  • @marsh8417 He's not training for strength. Mike was a premier bodybuilder in his day, and im pretty sure a bodybuilder would prefer to be big and weak then small and strong, you gotta admit hes pretty big for only deadlifting 140

  • @marsh8417 He's not training for strength. Mike was a premier bodybuilder in his day, and im pretty sure a bodybuilder would prefer to be big and weak then small and strong, you gotta admit hes pretty big for only deadlifting 140

  • @marsh8417 He's not training for strength. Mike was a premier bodybuilder in his day, and im pretty sure a bodybuilder would prefer to be big and weak then small and strong, you gotta admit hes pretty big for only deadlifting 140 and pushes himself pretty damn hard

  • Comment removed

  • @marsh8417 Mentzer advocated doing reps extremely strict: eliminating all momentum and slow. That increased the intensity of the lift. If that man went into the deadlift with the idea of simply lifting as much weight as possible he could fired off at least a hundred more pounds ~ at least - and probably much more in a few weeks simply yanking weights !! Personally, I use both techniques.

  • @marsh8417 he did a full HIT workout of chest and back prior to this. watch the vids

  • @PacificSurgeNJ Well said.! :) .it seems there are a lot of fools who are armchair warriors here. And know NOTHING about HIT training..To those guys: If you have the energy to deadlift heavy weight at the end of a HIT workout, you are NOT working out.

  • @marsh8417 You do realise he was at the end of his workout and exhausted, right?

  • @marsh8417 i believed that is the last exercise. that is why he is lifting so little

  • @kingnek try it with this speed you will be weak too

  • @MrCherryKirsche Yea! I recently started using the type of high intensity rep cadence that we see in these videos and the weight definitely goes down. I train every mon, wed, fri, and I can't emagine doing more.

  • @marsh8417 I agree he's alot weaker than you'd expect. I'm smaller than him but still stronger doing deads. But to call that fake muscle is bullshit. He's probably worked hard and achieved alot just by building the mass he has. If you're a bodybuilder, then growth is the most important factor. Not strength.

  • @Athnagzo everyone seems to think this with body building, but most if not all body builders don't reach their goals without touching on all 3 elements: muscle training (strength, power& endurance), cardiovascular, and flexibility.

    It really bugs me when people think that body builders only do power/strength training. The guy in the video would NOT look like that unless he trained all 3 aspects. This is the basic of the basics for body builders.

    And trust me they are very very strong.

  • Comment removed

  • @Athnagzo He's not weaker. He can probably dead more than you could. But this is HIT and it focuses on establishing a constant mind-muscle connection. Why do Yates and Mentzer perform only 8-10 working sets TOTAL for each body part, with 3-4 exercises? The next time you barbell curl: only curl say, 40 lbs. Instead, close your eyes, flex your forearms and biceps hard, and squeeze harder than you have ever squeezed before at the top while thinking of your biceps. This is HIT & this is intensity.

  • @jrehman Then go put on a g-string and flex in the mirror like a faggot. lol strength for the win!

  • @mojomatt176

    i know quite a few faggots - i ain't seen one flexing with a g-string in a mirror.

  • @Athnagzo

    I strongly disagree that the growth is the most important factor.Without strenght your biceps will not elevate

    even a piece of paper.

    To grow bigger strenght needed,otherwise muscle cells stop to react to the same weight.

    Adaptation - basic princip

    Peace

  • @MegaPositiveEnergy You really have no idea what you're talking about. If your logic was true, most powerlifters would be buff (when they're not). You can gain strength while building muscle, but you don't necessarily build muscle by gaining strength.

  • @Athnagzo

    you arent stronger stupid fuckface!

    he does this weight because he wants to teach how to perform a deadlift with perfect form!

    i saw him deadlifting 200 kg for some weeks lifting for reps....

  • @Athnagzo hey buddy, i have spoken with markus on many occasions and trust me he could have lifted more than that, it was put on a little for the video....if he had lifted his maximum he may not have executed it with such good form and also you have to think about the exercises he had already done by that time, all done with very little rest in between....using perfect form always means lowering the weight slightly but that is the right way to do things for maximum results.

  • @Athnagzo

    For goodness sakes, the lifter is giving a demonstration. He didn't get as much mass as he has by lifting light weights.

  • Wrap that damn thumb! And DO NOT use the squat rack to do your damn bicep curls.

  • Why did Mentzer use a steroid user? Because natural would look like the average runner.

  • Unbelievable how much effort he puts into lifting that. Pathetic. He should be doing 5 x 10 with that physique of his. Pathetic.

  • This guy is a mountain of muscle and he has trouble lifting 140 kg -_-'

  • um, you guys who comment about how "weak" he is on only doing that many reps, are a bunch of idiots. this is the end of his back workout, so hes totally tired out with no energy. watch the previuos videos before this one and understand

  • @idiotnoobbum I agree with you big time. I'm strong as hell, use to own two US records, but even back then, if you came in at the end of my workout, you would laugh.

  • @StanBennet

    Regarding: "I'm strong as hell, use to own two US records".

    Answer: sure you did.
