John Heart explains the time he was offered the lead role in Mike Mentzer's High Intensity Training Video that was recorded with Markus Reinhardt just prior to Mike & Ray's death in June 2001. John also discusses the common misconceptions with super slow vs. how Mike Mentzer & his brother Ray Mentzer actually trained to build muscle that lead to the impressive herculean physiques that they possessed vs. what was recorded for Mike Mentzer's HIT video. John also shares the relationship he had with Markus Reinhardt and why mikementzer.com is no longer operating.
This video is taken from episode 119 of the Longevity Muscle Podcast with the WNBF Pro Natural Bodybuilder & Mr America John Heart

This is correct. In 1979 when Mike Mentzer and Casey Viator trained me for a few days at Gold's in Venice, we did not do super slow reps. it was a two second concentric and four second negative reps. I never carried cameras either, except for maybe on vacation.

@HDLifter 6 месяцев назад

Mike told me he chose a 4/4 rep tempo as it suited most exercises. Though, on pulldowns with a longer ROM, may need more. Mike taught me 2/4 in '78, which has served me well.

@seanbowring5021 5 месяцев назад

Mike trained me in 1998 and had me do 4/4 cadence with a hold in the fully contracted position where applicable. I still have his handwritten program and training notes.

@richbrake9910 4 месяца назад

Same thing Mike taught me in 79.

Thanks for video, really respect John Heart's knowledge with some mild disagreement. I don't think it's a fluke that Mentzer suddenly just decided to radically slow down the concentric and I believe if he'd had lived on I suspect he would have explained it as a natural evolution of how to increase efficiency of intensity while reducing risk of injury.

@MrJanimro 6 месяцев назад

I agree. Mike advised slow cadence for Paul Becker too when he was training with Mike in 1999. His seminar video from 1998 he points out this too, but not before that i believe.

@mightymurph3949 Месяц назад

I’ve been doing HIT with the 4-2-4 cadence for 1.5 years now and it works great for me. Mike had to have been on to something even if the concept was introduced before he died.

This video makes me say thank God for Pumping Iron because however little video footage there was in the '90s it would have been even less in the 70s if not for that awesome documentary

I trained with Mike several times throughout 1991-94 and in 97. His protocols did evolve over that time. In July 91, it was two days on one off, two on two off, with a 2 way split, forced reps and negatives on some exercises By 94 it was 3 days a week, less use of intensity enhancers. By 97 the workouts were closer to what you see in the video, except Mikle was advocating use of static contractions- and slowing the movements- but never Superslow- Mike even made a sparky joke about the "Superslow" guys. He said to me - control the weight- don't let it control you. But the 10 secs stuff never. 2 to 4 secs up- depending on the movement- slow - 4 secs or so negative. As he pointed out to me this isn't rocket science. It's a science yes, but not that complicated.

Thank you john for clarifying the whole slow concentric phase rep thing in vid and made no sense since mike said 1 to 2 seconds on concentric and 3 to 4 on negatives. 1 second flex at top

Doesn't matter how slow or fast HIT does not work.

@bradfordmcdermott2063 Месяц назад

This why drew baye gets it wrong on concentric being slow maybe due to the video confused him

@adamsloane1748 6 месяцев назад

What people don't seem to understand is that HIT is not just one thing. There are many bona fide HIT approaches. Mentzer didn't invent HIT, and his way isn't the only way. NFL and college strength coaches have used HIT, and many people have HIT pedigrees every bit as solid as Mike Mentzer's. If you look at the training promoted by people like Ellington Darden (worked with Arthur Jones), the late Dr. Ken Leistner (also worked with Arthur Jones), Matt Brzycki (Princeton strength and conditioning), the late Casey Viator (also worked for Arthur Jones), and Dan Riley (strength coach for the Washington football team when it won multiple Super Bowls and later for the Houston Texans), you'll see some commonalities and some diversity. Forming a sub-cult around Mike Mentzer is self-defeating.

@Keppie6 6 месяцев назад

Its funny because on the HIT Facebook group John Parr and Drew Baye routinely say that Mentzer NEVER used a fast concentric and that was always slow, which just happens to align with their thinking lol. So between those two and John Heart someone is lying. Id tend to believe John Heart just based on the demanor of Drew

@fatboitino2 5 месяцев назад

They easily could have two different experiences; and saw different things. Only could ask Mike Mentzer- but, he's gone the way of all those who tread the earth
