- Did you know that you can build a big chest with just a 1 set chest workout? In this video, using some of the principles preached by Mike Mentzer, I am going to show you a chest workout with dumbbells that consists of just one single set, but still has the opportunity to deliver massive results.

Have you ever been short on time but still needed to get in an effective workout without sacrificing potential muscle growth? Well, you're in luck because I have put together a chest workout that consists of just a single working set that is capable of helping you to build new muscle. This workout is inspired by the principles preached by the late Mike Mentzer, who himself preached the use of limited sets while integrating high intensity effort.
A chest workout developed using Mentzer's principles means that we are going to be in and out of the gym quickly, but in that process, we are going to be giving every last ounce of effort that we have to ensure that this one set workout is effective.
Let's take a look at the structure of this one set chest workout. First, there is going to be a warmup to get you ready and prepared for your all-out effort on your single working set. Then, there is the one set, which is actually broken up into two parts - a pre-exhaust and the working set itself. Mentzer advocated the use of a pre-exhaust set of a different exercise to greatly intensify the effort you will be giving on your working set.
In this workout to build a bigger chest, your warmup will start with a simple set of pushups. This is simply to get the wrists, elbows, and shoulders ready to be pressing in the working set and is not meant to be done for chest growth. So don't worry about going to failure here, just focus on warming up the joints. Then you will move over to the bench to warmup the bench press using about half the weight you would in your working set. This is to make sure you've grooved the lift and that you are ready to put in your maximum effort when it comes time to perform your working set. If you want to build a big chest, you need to be ready to perform so as to avoid injury.
Once the warmup is finished, we head over to the cable machine to start our pre-exhaust portion of the dumbbell chest workout. My choice of exercise for the chest here is the high-to-low cable crossover. I like this exercise because of how it allows for stretch on the pecs while keeping the anterior shoulder capsule in a safe position. Perform 6-10 all out effort reps, making sure that you are not ending the pre-exhaust at the first sign of fatigue.
Now that we've pre-exhausted the chest, it's time for the working set. Without any rest except for transitioning from the cable machine to the bench, the dumbbell bench press is going to be performed for another 6-10 all out effort reps. To grow a big chest, you are going to have to dig deep and give everything that you got and perform the working set until failure. That doesn't mean you stop when you get tired or the rep gets difficult, as a matter of fact, it means to push even harder. The set stops when you physically cannot perform another rep.
While not Mentzer approved, I advocate that if you chose the wrong weight and you fail before 6 reps in this chest workout, continue the set by performing a dropset.
As you can see when I perform this 1 set chest workout, I am giving everything I have to finish the set and that I am pushing myself as hard as I can with an all out effort. Mentzer believed that you could trade volume for intensity and still get the same results, even with just a single set as long as the set was taken to all out failure with the highest intensity possible.
The 1 Set Chest Workout
Warmup 1: Pushups
Warmup 2: DB Bench Press (~50% of working weight)
Pre-Exhaust: High-to-Low Cable Crossover: 1 x 6-10
Working Set: DB Bench Press: 1 x 6-10
If you haven't tried this type of training before, I think you should give it a shot and you might be surprised by just how intense this chest workout can be, especially if you are used to training under the notion that more volume is better.

Ur welcome in our comment community
Bro just a simple thumbs up is enough 😂😂😂
Who even likes these comments? So generic
@@nickkerr6068how is it generic to share your thoughts? If anything your high horse energy is what’s generic here.
My best gains always came from high intensity training. Often times I would go back to the higher volume routines because the experts routinely stated that muscle hypertrophy was dependent on more volume than high intensity training advocated. For whatever reason the high volume stuff didn't get me stronger or any bigger, it just wore me out. I was a big Mentzer fan in the early 80's, nice to see he's getting some respect.
Mike Mentzer was all about less is more, but only if done at the right intensity and close to failure. He often advocated for one set.
No shit we all saw Jeff’s last video too

Easy kid. You need to get off the steroids. They're making you mean
@@AskTheKid Actually, I didn't see it, but I have been listening to a lot of Mike's audio recordings of late. Thanks, anyhow.
@@dougroberts3643 haha, it's funny because you are also mean
Great job Jeff as always. I am 74 and have been lifting for around 55yrs, and still love it. I started training the one set to failure method about a year ago for your no. 3 reason. My joints were feeling worn. I feel much better now, since I started training this way. Thanks so much. Stay strong.

It really helps to watch Jeff demonstrate an actual set... for himself. I know I can't feel his fatigue, but all the visual clues help a lot: the slowing tempo, the red face, veins popping out, out of breath narration, etc. I can easily compare that to myself.
Please keep making these 1 set videos... they are very helpful... thank you for your content
Are you interested in sports, my friend?
I have been doing this type of workout for about two months now… the results have been amazing for me (Training for 14 years now)… the high intensity and more rest days have added not only size but strength I haven’t felt before… plus I feel less drained from long volume workouts👍
Are you willing to share your routine, like exercise combo's/ set's & reps and the amount of exercises per muscle group per workout?
I do a four day split over seven days
Here’s the first day and will finish rest of it tomorrow for you mate👍

It makes so much sense to me that you could do it in one set instead of 3 or 12. Seems like there should be no reason to spend an hour in the gym or even 40 minutes. I know soreness doesn't necessarily mean effectiveness, but i did just one set of bicep barbell curls to absolute failure and they are so sore today
Mike. Mentzer phase obviously 😂
I’m going through the same thing
I've been through this 4 weeks now boy oh boy intensity over volume works really sick for me!!!
Yeah brother!
Tom platz next
Been there some years ago. Definetely a great way to train. But I like to keep things "athleaner" now.
As a trainer myself I started to do this training methode two months ago and it works amazingly. Also pushing myself mentally to new results made me stronger. Thanks for the post Jeff 👌
i'm a big believer of mike mentzer's principles and i love to see that you're preaching it too! I'd like to see more of these one set workouts from you ATHLEAN X
I'm a big believer in it too. Trouble is I always feel like I have not done enough. And do four or three sets. I see the merit. Just always feel lazy and like it is a out
Finally! Mike Is getting the attention He deserves. Truly remarkable way to train. I hope more research will be done to acknowledge his method.
This is perfect timing for me personally as I just found Mike's training workouts. Because of the science and logic he backs it up with I'm sold, and as an older guy I don't want the wear and tear on the joints!
Loved the video Jeff, please do more of these and include how a relative beginner should space workouts vs rest etc
Ditto! This is very helpful for us "pensioners". Saves wear and tear, time, and risk of injury. Looking forward to lats and legs.
I’d really like to see how this works with shoulders, biceps, and triceps.
He already did one on biceps I think :)
Show some fucking respect, eh?
I went a few years of essentially doing one long drop set for most movements. Warm up, go to failure at 70-80% of your ORM. Drop by about 20-30% go to failure, etc. Works great for time management and gives you a great pump. Two movements per body part was usually enough to light yourself up
@@aaronmartin6122can you elaborate on your splits on this please?
Legs would be the one for me. 😮
Thank you Jeff, I’ve been watching your videos for years. I couldn’t afford your programs but I’ve watched your videos and took notes and even played your videos while I worked out to check form. In a year I’ve completely changed my body with the knowledge you have, from the bottom of my heart thank you 🙏
I can say this Mike Mentzer ‘series’ came at the absolutely best time for me. Recovering from a shoulder injury, the last thing I need is more wear and tear.
Thank you Jeff, brilliant series. I want to see the full body continuation!
Love that you're clarifying this after I've been studying Mike for a while. Really helps
Beautiful Demonstration. This is exactly what mike is trying to teach
Do you like sports
I’m glad to see Mentzer making a resurgence. I usually do 2 sets on most of the exercises but try to apply his principles to my training and my clients. I think it’s wise to build technique and intensity through volume initially and gradually introduce intensity over volume until over time, someone can channel maximum intensity into minimal volume.
Well said. Agree 100pc
His legacy will outlive those who did him dirty
This has been one of your best videos. Thanks for bringing back a lot of the science into the exercises and thought process behind them.
Yes please do more! Getting older and definitely need to save some time. This technique is perfect!
Look up his "effective reps" workout for time-saving advice.
@@seanwickham8905 Jeff or Mentzer?
He means Jeff. He made some videos about effective reps training some time ago.
@@jimmysundays1937ty
I've been watching your videos and employing a lot of these concepts in my own workouts. At this point I'm targeting some specific things in my physique (I'm 53 and trying to build back after letting things go for a few years) and I've been pleased by the gains I've had in a relatively short time using this stuff. You break it down into understandable bites. It's going to be interesting to watch things transform in the upcoming weeks. Thanks!
I love the 2 warm-up tips. Huge help, thank you! Please add more of those in next videos!
Thanks for being so great at explaining and making videos Jeff!!
Great video Jeff, thanks👍👍👍I really appreciate your dedication to improve our bodies, you are an excellent guy
Thank you so much for doing this series! I appreciate you doing this Jeff! I would say back as the next exercise
Great video Jeff, thank you for elaborating the topic because is very useful. All the best !
Rest pause is good alternative to drop sets that you can use when training alone to get those extra failure reps. Mentzer promoted them too
So good! Please do more of these!!!!
I always look forward to these videos
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mike Mentzer, and Athlean-X Jeff Cavalier but the greatest of these is Jeff. The Millions and MILLIONS of Athlean-X fans tune in because Jeff loves what he does and he is truly the Greatest of All Time.

Thank you for your interpretation on Mentzer’s training technique Jeff. Could you possibly follow this up with a video covering how you would incorporate this into a training week split and what sort of recovery you would take. Mike thought some body parts needed a good week of rest, do you agree with this or would you maybe adopt a more shorter rest period?
Have in mind tom platz the QUADfather trained his legs 2 times a month..so every 2 weeks...so on steroids which help with recovery and as a long term pro...his intensity was beyond anyone elses and he trained legs 1 ever 2 weeks...does that answer your question? But i myself am also curious in his weeks split since what ive been thought when studying is that if u want max muscle growth it should be trained 3 times a week per muscle group..so 3 times a week chest muscle 3 arms 3 shoulders 3 back 3 legs..and then theres this and tom platz
God Bless Mike Mentzer! I am so glad to see you giving Mike his do. I would really love to see you continue these types of Mentzer workouts. Thanks Jeff...
Love how you introduce new content.
Back to your roots: short and effective workouts!
I love all your insights, tips and Q&A in this video 👍
Could you make a video in this series for the hips/ glutes?
As someone who’s going to be in an industry where I’ll have minimal time to workout let alone at a gym on a regular basis, these one set workouts following Mike Mentzers philosophy are so beneficial, to continue to stimulate muscle growth if not preserve.
Excellent Jeff, good information.
Thank you as I am literally reading HIT by Mike Mentzer and taken a week off from my 5day split routine and preparing for HIT . Thank you for illustrating that work out can’t tell you how much I appreciate it . Would you consider doing more videos on this topic? Thank you once again.
As someone who trains with a full-body "split", I'd love to see a full-body workout following the same concept of something that can be done when you're pressed for time but still gives as efficient a workout as possible within that short time - Maybe something like a 30 minute full-body workout.
Also, you often talk about hypertrophy in you videos. I'd love to see more videos covering strength, power and muscular endurance training and perhaps some videos om training philosophies - how would one mix the different muscular modalities depending on their sport or their goals.
i think you could do this by using compound exercices. a good compound to failure for upper body and one for lower body here you go and if you have time you can add a little isolation where you would prefer it and alternate it every day
Check out Mike's consolidated routine, he puts a few exercises together for a close to full body workout. The thing is that because you're trying to train all muscles Mike decreased the total number of exercises in the workout (its 2 days and 2 exercises a day). I'm no expert, but Mike was trying to be careful not to create too much overlap in muscles used in a workout, and therefore, secondary and tetriary stabilizer muscles are counted as being exercised. The point being that a full body workout plan exists under mentzers plan, but be very careful about modifying it too much because its designed to let all of those muscles rest and not get overworked. (To the point that some people consider it ridiculous)
Don’t show the gym heads this video, they’ll get upset you’re trying to save them time from staying in the gym too long.
😂😂😂
Why would you want to stay at the gym longer then necessary anyway? Unless you are doing more variety of workouts. It's all about maximizing your efforts and minimizing your time doing so. I don't get it lol.
Excellent demonstration, I'll definitely try this for my next chest workout session. Thank you!
I just discovered Mike Mentzer via your channel and I find it a really refreshing change,especially as someone who gets bored doing high numbers of sets. I’d like to hear more of your take Mentzers methods. Good video as always.
I've done and am currently doing the Mentzer method. It absolutely works!! Especially for advanced lifters stuck in a plateau. And great for those of us over 40. Just tweak some of the exercises that fit your risk/reward ratio. Definitely switch flys for presses etc
Agreed! I'm finally gaining again
Great video as always! My qustion is, how does an entire workout program look? Still doing brosplits, PPL, and full body?
finally someone is talking about mike 's heavy duty program.. thank you we need more of these❤
Fantastic, Jeff! Great stuff.
Just as I was about to do chest day. Perfect timing and an 18 min break to boot
I have gone towards the 1 warmup, 1 work set approach from relatively high volume and I feel like my recovery is better, my progression is better, my shoulder problems are improved, and I enjoy my workouts more.
Obviously my recovery is better in part because I can get in one extra rest day per week, since I now have no problems doing an upper/lower split where I have enough energy to actually do a full upper body workout with good focus for every muscle group.
The few times I have tried adding a second work set, the drop in quality is very noticeable.
And I freaking love doing drop set combos. For now my favorite chest is db floor press super seated with db floor Flys. I feel like compound/isolation works better than isolation/compound, but that's just me, you should all try different combos to see what works for you
I really enjoyed this one... thanks Jeff!
Going to try this tomorrow… can’t wait!!
Would love to hear your thoughts on/see this concept applied to a full body workout for those of us who do full body 3x per week.
i imagine it would be the same philosophy for each muscle group. However full body 3 times a week is pretty full on recovery wise, especially long term.
I don't think he would recommend such high intensity techniques when doing high frequency. Most full body programs don't use high intensity techniques for a reason.
I remember reading the magazines about high intensity training in the late 80's and Arthur Jones used to advocate full body workouts 3 times a week, I used to follow that routine back then but it would be just one set taken to failure without any drop sets as that would impact my recovery too much
@@davidfillary Yeah, it’s the frequency part that I’m wondering about. Of course I use a handful of modified versions of full body where its focus is a little different each day throughout the week. Would be interesting to play around with.
I love these Mike Mentzer principle related videos that you're doing, please keep them going.
Thanks for these vids on Mike Mentzer training methods, started training like this for the past month and i have to say it feels great. Hope to see more on Mikes HIT training.
I started doing this method a few workouts ago and it really helps you be the most efficient with a workout. I’ve pushed through plateaus in a couple exercises and used the drop set with not rest to keep the intensity up. My workouts are shorter and it helps me know that I don’t have to spend the whole day at the gym to make gains. Thanks for sharing. I’ll be doing this from now on.
Please make this a series. And maybe at the end of this series, make a video on how will you incorporate this on a weekly basis
3 weeks ago i started watching Mike Mentzer, now he is everywhere. Algorythms did him well.
Same here.
Thank you for the explanation and perfomance of workout, saw the mike mentz vid and wanted to start this kind of intensity. would like to keep it fresh and this is what ive wanted. want to see one for every body part like the dumbell editions
Love these mentzer inspired workouts, would love to see more
AWESOME JEFF! Are you going to do a whole complete series on Mentzer's techniques , or maybe a workout plan for purchase? That would be excellent, I'd buy it.
I have a workout plan teaching these techniques. Look at my channel.
I would love a workout plan for purchase!!

I love this. I really hope you do a 1 set video for every miscle group!
Thank you for this. Im excited to learn more about this.
Mike Mentzer is a genius!
Was*
He was a fool😂. He used to say if it takes one bullet to kill a guy, why wouldn't 1 set build muscle.
one can see the fallacy in this argument.
@@gamesong6600don't know any fools with a perfect score at mr universe
@@gamesong6600one bullet can kill a guy if targeted in the right area with the right weapon and similarly 1 set can stimulate muscle growth if done right (with proper technique and ntensity). Kinda make sense a little
@@arturmollaiev5015 no u r trying to make sense out of it. It's an extrapolation. Conclusions made from the observing effects of single bullet can't be applied on effects of single set. U have to test it against 1+ sets done right.
Even by his own logic while 1 bullet wud be enough and 2nd bullet will not dampen the effect, a 2nd/3rd set would dampen the effect. Basically bullets and exercise even by his own logic work very differently.
Classic bodybuilding they always preached only needing one set once a week because the intensity was there and I honestly believe it, volume is for learning a skill
Weightlifting IS a skill
Once a week? Means 1set chest per week?
Nah, volume builds endurance and form. The “one set” theory might work for bodybuilders using heavy weights, but not for the other 99%.
I love Jeff
I’ve been watching him for almost a decade and I’ll tell you this guy really knows it all.
His main objective is to show you that the body matters and needs to be trained and treated right.
Great human being, would love to have him as my training coach.
I've been working out for 25 years and I've just started doing this 3 weeks ago. I have never ever felt so good in my life. The gains and pumps are phenomenal.
It's nice to see a so strong rediscovery of Mike Mentzer on youtube, and more than twenty years after he passed away, in a world totally different with social media and influencers. He died too early but he is a protagonist of the history of weightlifting, still recognized to this day even if the world changed a lot since his time in the world.
Great explanation,
Great video!!!
Excellent!! Please give us more for other muscle groups.
Would really love to see how this would work out in a PPL routine and the recovery for it too;
much love to you ❤
Give us another leg routine for PPL series
Great video Jeff. I fall into the hard gainer intermediate. I'll be 51 years young in November this year. Ive followed you for a while and had success from your training, dietary and physio advice. I have had the same routine for a bit and after the Mike video I decided to change it up.
I've been going to max 6ish, but till failure, then drop setting that exercise without a break. I get 4 rounds. I've been doing a complimentary exercise the same way with drop setting to failure. I use elastics for my warm up, crossovers, lats and now added the pull down biceps he recommended. These first few days needed a little more recovery time and I feel they are on the mark, especially for an alternative routine and the concept of it all actually makes sense. Great to see what real intensity needs to be.
Thanks Jeff
Cheers
Ant.
Killer idea for a series. Long time follower
1 set only! Warm up perfectly! As far as your joints alow you do the haviest set up to failure for three different muscle types and go home. Wait for three days and repeat. The fastest muscle growth I ever experienced. 43 years old.
How long does it take you to hit the same muscle again? I have a split of two workouts and take three days of rest between those, so my chest gets one set every 8 days, which still feels kind of crazy. But works for now, one month in
@@bertholdvogts6407 Well, I am not a professional and the growth was not from usual bodybuilder to mr Olympia. Just a regular guy trying to do something with my office-looking arms and shoulders as fast as I can without any suplement or diet. I'm not saying it should work for everyone, but I did the haviest weight I can handle strugling to do 10 reps for every muscle twice a week (mostly after 3 full days of rest) for 6 months. And then I stoped training hard and adding weight because it was too havy for my joints and I was sutisfied with results.
as a med school student with very limited time to go to the gym,this series is gonna be life changing
My kid is going back to school and I have time to hit the gym. Gotta binge all your videos (again). Thanks for the updates, videos like this are appreciated!
Hi Jeff, first of all I'd like to say hi and thank you from a fan in Ecuador. Love your tips and workouts. I am enjoying this new exercises done in one rep, I'd like to ask if you could make a playlist of these and hopefully future of one rep exercises so they can be easily found. Thanks again for your videos. Keep up the good work 🤘🏿
Yes, more of these please. Started following this method a couple of months ago and seeing gains but not sure if I am hitting absolute failure on each exercise.
failure should be you can't complete another full range positive rep despite your greatest effort possible
@@undeniableluck3260 The hard part is knowing what is actually your greatest effort. You might feel like you are at failure, but if someone held a gun to your head, you might be able to squeeze out another. The mind plays tricks on us to protect us from ourselves :D
One way to measure absolute failure is to have a spotter as Jeff showed with Jesse. If the spotter is experienced and can apply JUST enough help, you can a feel for absolute failure. Your last rep should feel as hard as your 1 rep max that you just barely can’t do….
yes because your body doesnt want you to cause unnecessary damage that won't add much in the way of stimulating growth unless it is necessary to save your life@@treborrrrr
Nice topic for this video! Hopefully you'll do the same for other body parts.
Great video and description as always
Awesome! Need more for each body part as well as how to incorporate into a PPL. Thanks!
These Mentzer kind of workouts have worked for me. I'm 50 years old and I can NOT take huge volume of workouts. (too many sets wears me down) But a warm up and one hard set seems to work. This was a great video. I feel very sore, but I am not exhausted.
Hi, 54 years here! Did you mean "can't take huge volume?" I thought part of Mentzer's idea was to avoid high volume, but require intense, to failure effort. I'm just wondering if I understand your comment.
@@mikecurtis11 Oh, shoot. Thanks for spotting that. My bad. You are right. I will fix it.
Child: Father! What does “gay” mean?

Excellent, Jeff! It's great to see the boss being the boss!
Something like this is perfect for days I work overtime and have to cut the workout short.
Absolutely! 🎉 I have done this for years. Same results in 15 minutes that took me 45 minutes.
I wish I could Like this 10 times. It was beautiful. I would cry, but I’m a man.
Hi Jeff! More videos about Mentzer's teachings 🙏🏽!
Thank you for the follow up vid on the Mentzer ideology--much appreciated to show us a demo!
Hi Jeff! Since you posted your biceps video, I began studying content by Mentzer around the net, and I would love it if you continue with the "1 set" video series. Back should be your next video, right?
You should watch his 2 hour video, if you haven't already.
@@arealgoodguy Parts of it, actually! The Heavy Duty College channel concentrates a lot of what I've found around. I think it's great to hear from Jeff's POV on the matter since it's a modern, no BS take. Jeff's programs are pure gold by themselves and I already did AX-1 with great fat loss and conditioning results, and this week I began the Max Size program (which seems to follow a lot of Mentzer's ideas for some routines, hence my interest on understanding how to tweak parts of it to reduce workout times due to work.)
Chest day tomorrow. Gonna be HURTING soooo good. 💪🏼🤤👍🏻
Great show 👏
Next Video: You just need to imagine about building chest..
Snore...
I'm 67 and have a lot of injuries.
I've increased my sets and Reps using less weight to failure. Working out twice a week instead of three gives me more recovery time between workouts. This has worked for me.
