  • @lesgibbs326
    @lesgibbs326 Місяць тому +3

    The reason pec dec or fly is 1st is because it's an isolation chest exercise to be followed by a compound excerise like chest press that incorporates the triceps. Back and shoulders to further fatigue the chest in superset fashion with no rest or little as possible

  • @inkwell101
    @inkwell101 Місяць тому +10

    Mentzer suggested flyes first because then on the press, the triceps are fresh and can push the chest even further.
    Also, go all the way down on the press, you're like 6 inches too high at the bottom of your rep. The stretch under load is where muscle is built

    Jay love your posts. They are clear and result producing. A short point of clarification regarding Mike Mentzer’s “Ideal Routine” it was meant for people who did not have nautilus or nautilus like equipment available. Having attended several of Mikes seminars which he co hosted with Ray and Dave Mastorakis Mike made it abundantly clear Nautilus equipment was vastly superior due to its design and structure according to Arthur Jones’ principles based on human anatomy and kinesiology. But many people simply did not have such equipment available to them. Keep up the good work. There’s a new piece of equipment in commercial gyms these days which seems to be an adjunct to productive exercise for many trainees--the mobile phone. Haha.

    I find one of my biggest hang ups with HIT is that as my clients have gotten stronger, I may have fussed too hard about keeping the reps “pure” and slow. When it’s really about the change of direction. I’d back down every once in a while to try and robotically replicate the reps from previous weights but like you said, as long as you push it to failure, the speed within the rep isn’t that much of a difference maker as long as you’re not bouncing it out of the hole.

    @SimplementOfficiel Місяць тому +1

    Mike mentzer did specific isolation exercises before the compounds to fatigue the targeted muscle. For example, on chest, he does flies before his chest to really exhaust his chest, then supersets it with some incline press. The triceps and shoulders, which aren’t fatigued, help the pecs get even more work in. His goal was to push the muscle as much as possible, and this was one of his strategies.

    • @SimplementOfficiel
      @SimplementOfficiel Місяць тому +1

      Also, for back, I found some old clips of him training clients, and he did lat pull overs before the close grip underhand pull down, to use the same strategy. To already push the lats as much as possible, to then go to the compound and fatigue his lats even more with the help of his biceps. Same goes for leg which he did leg extensions and leg press/squat.

    I have a sensitive nervous system and low exercise tolerance. I’ve found that the HIT exercise selection, the machines used, and style of reps is absolutely the best but I do 2-3 non failure sets instead. I feel great and always have a healthy amount of muscle. One set to failure absolutely destroys me and leaves my nervous system wrecked for too long. For some it’s probably great!

      I tried the ideal routine too, but I got bored of waiting between Workouts.
      You can do The Workouts every other day at first and add more rest days as you progress în weights and intensity techniques and Lear how to milk more ouț of your sets.
      Oh and... You can do 2 sets if they feel gool, it won't hurt. Especially on The smaller muscles.
      The thing îs that Mike M said himself that with Time you need more intensity techniques such as rest pause, static holds and drop-sets (although he didn't approve much on the latter). And what are those if not another set without the whole rest în between sets and redoing the reps he called poor stimulatively (first half of the set)?!

    My variation of the Ideal Routine:
    A.
    Gironda Dip
    Closegrip Palms Up Pulldown
    Stifflegged Deadlift
    Leg Extension
    Calf Raise
    B.
    Seated Dumbell Press
    Barbell Curl
    Barbell Rollover and Press
    Barbell Power Shrug (they work, sue me)
    Bent Laterals
    Barbell Wrist Curl
    C.
    Barbell Neck Press (modified bench press)
    One Arm Dumbell Row
    Barbell Full Squat
    Seated Leg Curl
    Calf Raise
    D.
    Barbell Curl
    JM Press
    Seated Laterals
    Barbell Power Shrug
    Bent Laterals
    Barbell Wrist Curl
    Definitely extra focus placed on the traps and forearms, but the goal with this was to get the major muscle groups directly stimulated once every 8-10 days, and the smaller muscles getting stimulated directly every 8-10 days, with both smaller and larger muscle groups getting some level of stimulation every 4th or 5th day for hypertrophy purposes.
    Workouts A and C are the most taxing so I limit it to 5 exercises - 1 set each. B and D get 6 but 7 works too if it's a smaller isolation exercise.
    Every single muscle gets hit with enough direct and indirect stimulation with this routine that I think it actually could build a competitive physique. Some HIT routines are a little too abbreviated to really build a complete bodybuilding type of physique.
    A couple of the exercises come from the iron guru Vince Gironda (RIP) - specifically the Barbell Neck Press, Gironda Dip, and Barbell Rollover and Press. The first two are the best chest exercises I have ever tried when performed "correctly". Some might poo poo the neck press, but at 5'9" and 225lbs, I am currently using 165lbs on it when I could bench press far more in typical fashion. The Barbell Rollover and Press acts as both a serious tricep exercise - hitting all three heads of the tricep, but also as a pullover for the lats as well. Flyes are completely unnecessary as the Gironda Dips and Barbell Neck Press offer more than enough pec stimulation when performed correctly.
    I've tried to come up with a better, more complete yet basic routine than this, but haven't succeeded. Imo it doesn't get much better than this for this type of routine.

    • @1seanv
      @1seanv 10 днів тому

      @Traps510 I train once every 4th and 5th day - alternating between the two. 5 days before a Squat or deadlift containing workout.
      Progress has been excellent. I'm almost 45 and after almost 4 months back in the gym my numbers and muscle growth are doing very well, especially considering the first 3 weeks or so I was pretty easy on the weight increases. Can't push full out after a long time off like I used to in my 20's and 30's.
      The template is tailored specifically to my recovery needs. In the past a twice weekly workout schedule with A and B routine would yield rapid increases in strength and size. Still will, but will begin to stall after 8-10 weeks if additional rest days aren't added.
      The maximum I would go to is either a 4 workout split with 5 days between workouts - at which point I would probably reduce down to an A and B split with 8-10 days between workouts. That would be on the extreme side. It's mostly the heavy compound lifts that cause me to require significant rest time. The shoulder and arms workouts allow the smaller muscles more frequency without taxing the larger too much.

    I just do not see how a PT could make me train more intensely. I push until I can no longer move the bar, no matter how hard I try. It is 100%. It can't be more. And look at the vids of Arthur Jones training Boyer Coe, for example. When he tries to push Coe to get another rep, Coe simply starts cheating in order to make the extra reps. He could probably train just as intensely, with perfect form, on his own.

      @alexpittman3632 Місяць тому +4

      I used to think training on your own you could get the same results too. But once training with trainers, I realize trainers could push me further for whatever reason. You know how sometimes you'll get a better workout on your own on some days instead of other days? Well, generally, with a good trainer, you'll get those best workouts almost every time. Not saying you can't get great results on your own but with a trainer I learned the hard way could definitely push myself further. Example a trainer can help you move the bar just that little bit to get past sticking points to then push yourself further. This fact alone is a bit of a game changer. Even to get a friend or family member that you can educate into showing them how to just give a little help to get you past sticking points on the last few reps can make you push a little further than you would if you didn't have the help. Another great trick is, if doing a static hold on a negative having an assistance apply a little bit of pressure as you're trying to hold back on the negative. These two small things alone can make each exercise push you further than you could ever do by yourself. I trained for over 20 years and not until I actually trained with Jay. Did I see the difference of what training with a trainer can do. Don't knock it until you've tried it. One of the key principles of exercise is that the human body will trick itself to try to save energy, etc. When you're on your own, there's no one else to measure up to so it's just you against yourself. But yourself can fool yourself. my overall personal experience, you can still get great results on your own, but it will take a little longer than if your training with a partner who knows what they're doing. Watch the Dorian Yates older videos as well to get another idea of all of this.

Supersetting a new exercise with another - the first time will take longer than expected to recover if not conditioned to it unless using HRT. If natural, use the first workout or two with new exercises to acclimate without supersetting. Pair up the 2 in a superset 3rd time around with a short rest period and go to failure.

      It's true, you don't need to go to failure if the intensity is high from the beginning (heavy loads), and it will have its benefits too.
      However, if you understand the concept of HIT you will want to stick around these , why?
      Because training becomes more efficient over time, and that reduction in volume, load and frequency keeps you away from joint injuries.

      I understand your point and share it in part. But I think there may be advantages if the intensity or effort is high from the first rep.
      Let me develop the idea, when you work with "heavy weights" the recruitment is complete from the first rep and the mechanical tension is high due to the force-velocity curve, then you are generating an adequate stimulus without the accumulation of nervous and peripheral fatigue.
      The accumulation of metabolites affects your perception of effort, limiting MUR (motor unit recruitment).
      Of course the best way to obtain this is with motorized machines, which allow you to do it quite safely.

    Could you make a bodyweight version of this? I train with gymnastic rings. So ring dips followed by ring flys or pushups. Chinups followed bij ring rows... legs i do weights. Deadlift and splitsquats. And handstand pushups or pike pushups for shoulder's

    • @exercisethoughtsanddiscussions
      @exercisethoughtsanddiscussions Місяць тому

      As a former Internationally qualified competitive gymnast, I do NOT recommend using rings for training. Strength sequence displays on rings are fun, build confidence, and are impressive to watch, but rings as a tool to build strength have TOO MANY COMPROMISES.
      With HIT, you want to ‘clear a path to full effort’. Balance is a compromise to full effort. Independent movement is a compromise. Not-ideal body positions to effectively train the muscle according to function is a compromise.
      You do NOT want to INTRODUCE compromises to full effort. You want to eliminate them, if possible.

      ​@exercisethoughtsanddiscussions thanks for your reaction. But the way you dicribe it is not how i use rings. Don't know were your assumption came from? Use for dips/rows/Ringflys. More like a trx Jay shows in his bodyweight workouts. Can add weight with a belt. And doing it slow. No show.

      @ set enhancers and set extensions are ‘Load Based’ thinking. All the load does is automatically set the level of effort.
      IMO, if you’re not sure, go back and attempt a second, normally performed set.
      The normally performed set, including focus on careful turnarounds, is the most advanced training technique we have, so far.
      Set extenders and set enhancers are not effort focused.
      It’s ALL about ACHIEVING full effort, not extending or enhancing it.

(In Both cases, you still need to perform quality reps within the cadence of your choosing. I try to take 3-4 seconds on the concentric and 4-6 seconds on the eccentric.However, i focus more on the turnarounds taht are the hardest part of any moviment when performed with control)

    Jay, Mike liked to pre exhaust the chest without fatiguing the triceps. That is why he started with the fly to preserve the triceps from the pushing exercise. I tried it on a client this morning, I was probably putting words in his mouth, but he said he felt his chest more when we got to the chest press. Love your stuff and can't wait for your invention.

    I think there's still no proper scientific framework for effective excercise. If we want to come up with a proper theory of efficient excercise we must first answer these questions:
    1. How much does it take for a muscle to recover from 1 set to failure?
    2. How much does it take for a muscle to recover from 1 set to 1-2RIR?
    3. If a set to failure generates 100 units of stimulus, how much does a set to 1-2 RIR generate?
    4. If a set to failure generates 100 units of fatigue, how much does a set to 1-2 RIR generate?
    5. How long do joints, ligaments, tendons take to recover after failure versus 1-2 RIR?
    Once we have answers to these questions, we can adjust each variable-stimulus, fatigue, and recovery-to create an optimal exercise framework that maximizes results while minimizing unnecessary stress and risk of injury.

      Mike's recommend cadence in his last 3 books is 4 sec up 4 sec down with 2-3sec if there is resistance in the contracted positions (top of leg extensions, laterals etc...)
      And muscle in minutes was written by Mike, released 2000. The book the wisdom of Mike mentzer was written by John Little 2005. High intensity training the Mike mentzer way, written by Mike Mentzer and john Little was released in 2003 after his passing.

  • @Spirit-FilledMindset
    @Spirit-FilledMindset Місяць тому +1

    First off, that was just one day out of 4 of Mike's routine. That wasn't even the latest version of his routine. Second, there's a reason Mike put the flys before the incline press. Listen to Mike on why. Third, Mike includes pull over in his latest version and supersets into palm up close grip pulldown. Again, good reasoning on this, listen to Mike as to why. Mike also gives alternatives, so you aren't stuck to doing one specific exercise all the time, every time. So you can still do a row instead of the close grip pull down, but its not optimal for building pure muscle overall. Four, your supersets have way too much time in between. There is a reason they are called supersets. You want as little time as possible in between them. Five, it doesn't necessarily matter which day you do the deadlift. Mike does it on that day because of the structure of the other days he has you doing work. Also, it works the whole backside of the body, and I would say the lower back a LOT. So its actually good to put on the back day. Six, Mike has reverse flys on shoulder and arm day, so that's already covered.
    After all this, I believe Mike's routine is still WAY better.

    I've been training for 45 years and 1 set to failure has never worked for me. I was constantly overtrained and tired. My nervous system was overstimulated. Since then I have been training several sets for each muscle, with 1 to 2 reps in the tank. From then on I felt full of energy and grew enormously. With Mentzer 1 sentence hit until failure, I never grew.

      Everyone is different. This is how I felt doing multiple sets 4-6 days a week. I wasn’t getting any bigger and I was plateauing. And switching to Mentzer’s 1 high intensity set to failure has re-energized me because I take more rest days now. I usually rest 2-3 days between workouts and on my rest days I just walk or do foam rolling. My energy feels a lot better, and I don’t feel nearly as brain fogged and drained as I did lifting almost everyday in bro splits or push pull, legs.
