I've ordered his book from amazon and I've already altered my training routine to incorporate what I've already found out about Mike's approach.Genius who was ahead of his time.

@saleemisgod You won't regret it. Also get a copy of Body By Science by Doug McGuff and John Little.

Thanks for putting Mike here. He was my phone trainer back in the 90's!

I just train in my garage twice a week. I can see the stars when I lie on my bench and I always dedicate each rep to the Mentzer brothers.

I read it through and it has changed my attitude to training totally.I've split my routine into 2 parts and basically train half my body every 5 days.Training time has halved and my muscles ache for a good few days after each session.

I'm really enjoying using the theory of working the muscle just enough to activate the growth response and no further and the idea of peak contraction.

All those years of training for little or no return are a thing of the past..

@happytobeproud That's true but amphetamines were what ruined Mike Mentzer's career and likely what caused the heart problems (which is what killed him).
