@@ronaldmccutcheon1329 hi Ronald, I was lucky enough to see him in a seminar in England about 2 days after the Olympia . He looked incredible, he was way ahead at the time, with his knowledge of the body, I started to train to total failure. I found that I needed to train every other day, not for the muscle to recuperate. But for my nervous system to recuperate from the tress. I was 5’6’’ 9 stone and ended up 15 stone 10lb in simetry 18’’ neck 18’’ calf’s 17 3/4 biceps. Met and trained with Dorian Yates, when he was training for the mister Britain, to get a professional card. Back in the early 80s lived in a small town. Me and my mate, out grew the weights at the town gym. So soon as we finished work, we would make our way to the train station. Catch a train to Birmingham, Britain s second biggest city to train. Temple gym, a real spit and sawdust gym under ground in seller’s. Della shaharby, female miss Olympia contestant trained there with Johnny Fuller another mr Olympia contestant. We thought we trained hard till we went there for the first time..! Some great memories met so many of the top bodybuilder’s at the time. I’m nearly 61 now would love to train, but my elbows and wrist’s have had it. Bodybuilding has opened so many doors and opportunities to me over the years. Good luck with your training, and God bless you, take care. Steve.

Two hours per workout, 5 to 6 times a week and i saw improvement but very little in my opinion based on the work i put in. Found some of Mikes videos and decided to try his ideas and i can honestly say, for me they are working. Recovery is half of muscle building as i am now learning, especially for guys in my age group doing it naturally. Workout the chosen muscle group until failure and soreness then rest it for 3 days then do it again. You will be surprised

This. For example, if you do 4-split like 1. upper body push 2. upper body pull 3. lower body push 4. lower body pull you can easily work the respective muscle groups to a total fatigue in a 30 min workout. Even once per week is sufficient, in which case it means 2h of weekly training in total.

One of Mike's analogies was look at the body of a sprinter and a long distance runner. There's usually a significant amount of muscle on a sprinter compared to the slim physique of a distance runner.

As a working man I did not have alot of time to train. I learned the Mike Mentzer way! I trained 1.5 hr 3 times a week! I worked out each body part twice a week. I did no more than 3 sets per body part! I trained from 7 to 15 reps to failure, every set! It took me about 10 years to go from a skinny kid 160 lbs to 230 lbs. and I got big! Resting, eating & supplements is a huge part of it. This Man was right!

I agree with that. If you train 7h a week, why not train 14h a week. I usually train 45min to 1h and if close to 1h I feel exhausted (not in a good way). 45min is effective to me and maybe 30min would be even better. I believe less is better if done properly. Mike Mentzer was a very wise guy

Through many years of trial and error I realised that I only need to spend 2 hours a week on upper body and 2 hours on lower body and I respond very well to it. I try to hit every muscle in the gym and don't prioritise any particular movement. It's crazy how much better I feel not killing myself and not creating tight muscles and imbalances in my body. The most important part of working out is definitely rest. But you have to go hard when you do workout.

I believe this. I worked out for years to get a very good physique but now I can't because I work a lot and the jobs very physical. Surprisingly though in 6 months I still look the same but more cut and I realized it's because I utilize each muscle group daily from wor alone.

There's a huge difference in the traning volume you have to do for maintaining versus growing. Maintaining requires MUCH less volume than growing. So it checks out.
