  1. Can you make a video about Mike Mentzer and his method?

    Many people are saying they see the best results with his method while saving a lot of time. I do his method too.

  2. Give it one more year and everyone will be on that Mike Mentzer one day/week, one set/exercise tip. Mike was the way.

  3. Honestly I feel like it’s preference. Whatever works for one may not work for all. I go everyday cause I love it and aren’t sore :/

  4. I've been doing regular high volume workouts with a set 3×10, 3×5, 5×5, etc rep scheme and it just hasnt been working. Instead I am now trying a mentzer/yates style HIT. And man, I forgot what it was like to REALLY push yourself to failure and beyond. It's fun, it hurts, it feels good. It made me realize how much I leave on the table if I just stop at 5 reps or 10 reps.

  5. 5 day is the upper limit I would do. 3 – 5 days is a good range. I personally like 4 days the most.

  6. I personally found 6 days a week better for some reasons :

    – i am pretty weak on most lifts, and so i tend to recover pretty fast compared to a more experienced lifter

    – My total weekly volume is not that high, and it allows me to get the best frequency possible for each muscle group

    – It fits better to a PPL program than a 5 day split (being a PPL fan myself)

  7. I know 5 days is more optimal than 6, but I love the gym so much that I just couldn’t have another rest day, something about going and pushing yourself past failure and getting rewarded with your physique has me addicted to the gym 😭

  8. Also it may not apply to everyone but it definitely applies to a lot of people in the gym, quite hitting the same muscle group with 200 different exercises, working the muscle into oblivion does nothing but bring you closer to injury

  9. as DR Mike Israetel put it- if you don't squat 405 you don't need to worry about all that stuff.

  10. Agee when I first started out as a beginner I would go 6 days a week. Now that I’m a lot stronger and developed more muscle recovery is something I need to take a lot more serious

  11. Every since I switched to 6 days a week with push pull legs and dedicating sundays to weak points I’ve gained a lot of weight especially getting my nutrition on point. I’ve followed the bro split, full body, and the push, pull, legs cycle with proper nutrition has done me well. šŸ‘

  12. I’ve found I can cycle in a 6/day a week program about 3x-4x per year. Up to 6 week mesocycles at most. But yeah, 5 days a week appears to be optimal for me. Most gains I’ve gotten is on 5x/week.The big thing is making sure you don’t do too much. You cannot focus on everything, by virtue of the definition of ā€œfocus.ā€ So in power building, maybe focusing on SBD as first lift of each session, with modest gains and hypertrophy volume in other lifts with 1-3 specific muscle foci for hypertrophic size gains.
