    This technique will make your muscles grow like crazy. I love it. The pain is real but very satisfying. The only down side is that the the growth is so rapid you're having to buy a new pair of pants every two weeks.

      just a guess. but probably because the rest of your body has such an insanely high demand for blood oxygen. That it eases the pressure in your head from lack of blood pressure. That is if this type of exercise really does help your migraines. good luck.

    I'm looking forward to new articulating electrical resistance machines coming out, where resistance can be specifically programmed to give maximum resistance at each point of the rep as well as a perfectly smooth resistance curve and infinitely variable axis' of rotation to perfectly match your biomechanics. I hear they have some electric machines in a few European gyms, Germany maybe. Unfortunately here in north America we are not so civilized. We still have neighbors who use the length of their hillbilly uncles big left foot to measure distance.

I just wanted to let you know when watching your videos UA-cam will not recommend another one of your videos to play in a row and does no allow you to go to your channel directly from the video on the TV version of UA-cam at least. I'm not sure what you do to change that but letting you know in hopes it helps you grow your channel.

    "People are scared to train like this," said Dorian Yates, and it came to mind when someone in the YT comments claimed that because there wasn't a single top BB'er currently using Mike's training principles, HIT was 'hype.' Nope, they're scared to try it.

    • @Alex-------

      I always used to train to eccentric failure. With quite high volume and frequency. Now I've started heavy duty and doing it properly after really understanding what it took, it did have me questioning whether I was mentally tough enough to do it. The recovery days really do follow naturally when you understand and put your self the true intensity. It's working amazing though but it feels like the hardest route. Not the "lazy" or "easy" way - that would be moderately intense volume training for me but the results are so much better when you physically understand what's needed

    ive used some variation of this not knowing mr mentzer already beat me for about 40 years 🤣
    As they say theres nothing new under the sun
    heres how i do it
    After i pretty much empty the tank on the positive, i take a breath and cheat the positive phase and try to make the negative slow as possible.Once that is over, i take another breath or two and then try to hold the weight in an angle enough to me work to hold.Often i drop the weight and try another 2to 3 times.As mike and arthur jones before him, the negative and static are way stronger than the positive, so youll be working on near your limit aerobic anaerobic capacity, it worth to note that this kind of set requires a lot of mental fortitude to finish.
    And thats how you fry your system 🤣 just to mention that i dont do this every single workout,only when i feel like doing it cause youll be burnt for the day for that particular muscle group.

    Can you use his methods without using steroids? On some video I saw (not from this channel) it was adviced for naturals to only train once a week, since you can't recover as quickly and would simply be overtraining by keeping up the same intensity.

    • @HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE

  • @L8dyJustice
    @L8dyJustice 2 роки тому +1

    He wasn’t right about this though. Ronnie Coleman did not focus on the essentric and still gained a huge amount of mass. There is very little difference in the mass gained from concentric, essentric, isometric or a mix of the three. On the other hand essentric and isometric increase CNS fatigue and soreness. Therefore to increase recovery and then train harder in the future Coleman approach the concentric focused approach is superior for mass over time

    Jesus. I remember when I was a young teenagar about 15 years ago going to an underground gym in Lithuania. Everyone in the gym knew about this special exercise for biceps you do once in a while, but not too often, as to not cause overtraining. It's called 21. One huge set of barbel bicep curls. 7 repetitions top-to-mid ROM, 7 repetitions mid-to-bottom ROM, 7 full-ROM repetitions. This is exactly what Mike Mentzer is talking about.
