That was the exact same realization I had after learning of Mentzer. Afterwards I have refused to leave gym without pushing my muscles to failure and I have seen great results. You don't have to do it the exact same way he does in this video, but the goal is the same - high intensity lifts with prolonged contractions and negatives till you can't do it anymore.

This reminds me John. In your conversations did Mike ever talk about "Negative accentuated dips"? Arthur Jones talked about the general principle which I get but when he mentioned dips he said that "they're possible but harder to learn" To clarify, I'm not referring to negative dips where you climb on a box or something and then slowly do the negative portion only. I'm talking about negative accentuated as outlined in Arthurs old journals where (in the case of chinups for example) you would pull yourself up with both arms then lower slowly with one, pull up with 2 then lower with the other. I don't in the case of dips see how you would deal with the obvious balance problems (Unless you use a dip machine) and was wondering if maybe Mike had mentioned it in your conversations. Thanks. 😁

What's the reasoning for starting off with pressdowns before dips and not the other way around?
@ethanhansen877 ай бұрын
Pre-exhaust the Triceps. As this is a Tricep workout. Dips will incorporate chest and shoulders and could easily be a chest focused exercise, but by exhausting the Triceps with the pushdowns, the Triceps will be the first thing to go and will feel the most work with the dips now. Would recommend it with other exercises and muscle groups. Do the Isolation exercise first and then the compound.

Why does Mike like to do the isolation exercise before the compound exercise in his supersets?
@skylarjon346411 ай бұрын
It's called "pre-exhaustion." It allows you to continue stimulating the muscle beyond the point of natural failure
@behindthebarwithjr1578 ай бұрын
so your triceps are well toasted out and exhausted w the pushdowns but when you go to machine dips you have chest shoulders + tris working so you get more out of it. similar to doing heavy pullovers to failure and then lat pulldown you would fatigue the lat to the max and then go with a lat+biceps in lat pulldown.

@MikeHunt-xj5xf11 ай бұрын
The lack of speed is to eliminate momentum, remember it's not about making the plates go up and down, it's about using the plates to fatigue the muscles to the point of perfect muscular failure. This is the stimulus that causes the muscles to defend themselves against a future assault by growing and they WILL grow as long as you give enough time to recover.
