Mike Mentzer HIT Workout
Mike's approach was simple. Warm up, do one working set so heavy that you reach absolute failure at 6-8 reps.
- Do 1-3 warm-up sets before working sets. Do your last warmup with approximately 75% of your working weight and stop before reaching failure.
- "If you're skeptical [of Heavy Duty's low volume], your subconscious child is telling you that more is better." - Mike Mentzer
- We will post the exercises below but you decide how many days off between workouts. Mike recommended 4 to 7 days of rest before the next workout. Try and adjust for yourself.
