The Ultimate Mike Mentzer Workout and Diet

Mike Mentzer was a Golden Era bodybuilder famed for his usage of the heavy duty training system that helped him add muscle mass and compete with some of the greatest bodybuilders of that time, even clashing with Arnold Schwarzenegger at the 1980 Mr. Olympia contest. This heavy duty training system utilized high intensity training, which Mentzer had adopted from Arthur Jones and transformed into his own heavy duty system. Under Mentzer’s new system, reps got lower, weights got heavier, and the sets got much harder, seriously forcing the body to grow and adapt.
