2 days a week?

I see this has been a year ago now, have you kept using this method of training? How has your progress been? Injury free?

even when an bodybuilder athlete is enhanced, it will be always better to do high intensity training.

actually the enhanced bodybuilder should less workouts and take more rest as its easier for them to get overtrained

@@user-cp7yw3lh5s yes but an enhanced athlete does recover faster than a natural athlete. Enhanced athletes just might overtrain more than a natural one because they think they can go to the gym every day which is obviously not true even though they recover faster than a natural athlete. And you also need to understand the fact that on anabolics it is more fun to train when you are pushing heavier weights so that encourages to train more often.

This is not heavy duty, it is HIT, with an interval of 5 days.

​@@pavinivfxHeavy Duty = Hit = High Intensity Training.

Sadly its not a common sight in Gyms anymore. A decent substitute is a straight arm cable pulldown with a wide bar.

⁠dumbbell pullovers too

What is the best equivalent to the nautilus pullover machine please ? I know you guys have suggested two good subs, but I’d like to know the best alternative options .

@@ahmeds.mansour1293lying flat on a bench doing dumbbell pullovers

Thanks mate!!!

are there regular style deadlifts after the 2 back exercises? Because in the video there are only 2

​@@Operahditzwhy if you now something tell me please ?

@@GeorgeForeman. NGL, it appeared a bit cringe seeing my comment from a year ago, but let me enlighten you about what I know regarding the events at that time. Mike was building his personal training business at Gold's Gym, and over the next few years, his progress was steady and impressive. Since 1999, Mike’s younger brother Ray had been on kidney dialysis, waiting for a transplant. Mike offered to be the donor, but doctors found a serious heart problem that ruled him out. This meant Ray had to wait longer, and in response, Mike moved in to take care of him. On June 9, 2001, the brothers were working on their new training DVD called HIT (High Intensity Training), which is the video I’m commenting on below. After a long, tiring day, Ray went to bed, but Mike stayed up late, pushing himself despite his heart condition. Ray was worried about him, knowing the risks, but Mike wouldn’t listen. Finally, as exhaustion set in, Mike decided to get some sleep. The next morning, on June 10, 2001, Ray found his brother had passed away in his sleep from a heart attack at the age of 49. Heartbroken, Ray had to handle the funeral arrangements. Just two days later, on a Tuesday morning, Joanne Sharkey, the general manager of Mike's business, got a call from Ray’s dialysis unit. He hadn’t shown up for his appointment. When she went to his apartment, she discovered Ray had also passed away at the age of 47, just days after losing his brother. Taken from another video based on the topic.

How much bigger was he by then?

@@mertonhirsch4734 I don't understand the question. How much bigger was he compared to what

@@crashkorey How much did he grow up to wherever he peaked at compared to in the video? Did he got to the Olympia?

​@@mertonhirsch4734LOL stupid fool 😂

​@@bushidofreakz Watch your mouth son. Or you'll get a steel-toed boot jammed up your shit-chute.

It works yeah

Indeed, I hit hella PRs

5/6 days before training that body kart again or before your next body part? Thanks

@@shanefox6016 the next body part

@@filipnajev8449 Thank you. May I ask for advice/feedback. I started HIT doing 1-3 sets(3 different exercises) beyond failure about two months ago. Because I am going beyond failure(negative reps after failure) I am finding it very difficult to do more (progressive overload) the next time I do the same body part. I am probably waiting 1.5 weeks before doing the same body part again so I am allowing plenty of rest. I feel that because I am murdering my muscle beyond failure, it’s just so hard to murder it more than last time when I do that body part again. Have you experienced that? I just feel like if I cannot either increase the reps or weight, then I am not progressing like i should. Making me wonder if I should go back to my traditional training? 44 year old advanced lifter. How can I grow if I cannot progressive overload each workout? I was able to add weight/reps each week when I did traditional workout 3 times/week. Thanks in advance

Hey i wanna ask you how does mike workout for 30min when he does like 1 set till failure?im confused on this part and still didnt figure it out

​@@mistywoods6560 Mike Mentzer preached to usually take atleast 4 seconds per repetition in order to assure that pure isolation and stress is placed on the muscle your training. No explosive reps and occasional holds (for example: at the end of a set on the last rep for as long as possible or just short holds in between the set for 4-6 seconds) on the positive movement of the excersise and slower negatives. If you train with such an intensity the average individual will need more rest time between sets. Mentzer said to only rest as long as you feel to as your muscles aren't dictacted by a clock it should be done by feel. All tho if you rest far to short in between then you could just guide yourself by taking 4-5 good breaths through the nose and don't forget to drink carbonated mineral water in workouts for the CO2. Including all of this in a workout which usually should consist of no more than 4 excerises will definitely pump up the length of the workout. Bodybuilding isn't about endurance but intensity and effort. It does not matter if your workout is only 20 minutes as long as your upmost focus is set on actually building muscle then you will make progress.

Start each exercise with 1-3 warmup sets, really low weight, only to go through the motions and get warmed up in the muscles. Then do your 1 and only working set with a weight that allows for the technique and duration you saw in this video. Lastly, only 1 or 2 exercises per muscle, that is how you get it done so quickly.@@mistywoods6560 Oh, and the working set needs to be taken to momentary failure like mentioned in the video, you really need some grit to pull it through

The thirty min includes the whole warmup ​@@mistywoods6560

What happened why disappointed? Do you mind explaining your experience with markus.

Mike advocated trying different ways , but both these guys are true Mentzer fans, nothing wrong with a few tweaks and your only doing limited sets @@krazus2036

@@josecavazos1869I’d like to know too

Yes, please, share with us your experience with Markus.

Spill the tea.

That’s why Mike mentzer was the best

If carried to true muscular failure, yes. The difference is that 30 reps for 2 seconds is far less efficient since you are not generating continuous load on the targeted muscle area. Moving that quickly recruits momentum to assist the movement and disengages the muscle tissue. also, moving quickly will generate higher peak forces which risks injuring connective tissue. The purpose of moving slowly is time efficiency and safety, which for some reason people dont care about when it comes to exercise but they care about it in almost every other aspect of live. Mind boggling.

OK, thanks for your answer Jay

Think tension under time. I work as a high intensity trainer and use a 10 sec protocol. 4 sec positive 6 second negative without letting the weight stack touch. Less is more.

Hmm I’m not sure what that machine is actually.

@@JayVincentFitness Since posting the question I have learned that it was called the Pullover/Torso Arm machine. Also, I understand that the late Arthur Jones considered it the upper body equal of the barbell squat for building size and strength in its respective region of the body. Thanks for your reply.

@@JayVincentFitness The PureHIT2008 site has a video in which a middle-aged - but exceptionally strong - male trainee starts the Pullover exercise and then immediately proceeds to the Torso Arm; then, with no rest, he quickly walks to the Nautilus Double Chest and begins the Arm Cross; after his last rep he uses the foot pedal to access the handles for the Decline Press; after he reaches failure he walks quickly to the Compound Leg and begins Leg Extensions; he takes those to failure and again without rest, pulls down the movement pads for the Leg Press and- incredibly - uses the entire weight stack for a final set of 10 reps! The entire workout takes slightly less than 6 minutes.

Yeah ive never seen it before

You can do straight arms pulldown instead of nautilus machine and superset it with close grip pullodwn.

regular pullovers

I believe you could do lat pullovers instead, atleast ive heard it works similarly

Yes there is. In the full training video they finish off with some deadlifts

Nautilus Machine

@@manuelmilinkovic1409 thanks dude

Dumbbell cross bench pullover or cable pullover are good substitutions

Isn't...that...too...bad!

do regular pullovers

I think pullovers with db could be a good option, i have been doing rope pulldowns to replace it

he wasn't trying, he was actually effectively helping people
