Description
A PAPERBACK ORIGINAL
High-intensity bodybuilding advice from the first man to win a perfect score in the Mr. Universe competition
This one-of-a-kind book profiles the high-intensity training (HIT) techniques pioneered by the late Mike Mentzer, the legendary bodybuilder, leading trainer, and renowned bodybuilding consultant. His highly effective, proven approach enables bodybuilders to get results--and win competitions--by doing shorter, less frequent workouts each week. Extremely time-efficient, HIT sessions require roughly 40 minutes per week of training--as compared with the lengthy workout sessions many bodybuilders would expect to put in daily.
In addition to sharing Mentzer's workout and training techniques, featured here is fascinating biographical information and striking photos of the world-class bodybuilder--taken by noted professional bodybuilding photographers--that will inspire and instruct serious bodybuilders and weight lifters everywhere.

My favorite book about the subject of bodybuilding

5By tranceman74Really enjoyed this read. I’ve implemented these principles and have found my strength and density have persisted even while in a caloric deficit. Wish I’d implemented Mike’s principles years ago. I was in the gym 6 days a week for 2 hours only to see decent results which could have been obtained in half the time now.Mike Mentzer was the real king
5By 3DConceptsI'm now 59 years old and have used Mikes methods since I was in my early 20's. I'm not now or was I ever a pro body builder. I realized early on that I didn't have the genetics just has most iron slingers do not. However, that hasn't stopped me from becoming the best I could be using the Mentzer HIT training. For older guys like me, the methods are paying even greater dividends than when I was young because of the brief, intense and infrequent workouts I take. I'm not sure if Mike intended his programs to be so valuable for an older trainee but, they are! Reading Mikes words still give me the same fired up mind set as they did 35 years ago. I still am deeply saddened when I realize Mike is no longer with us but, at the same time honored and glad that he touched my life in such a positive way.
