It kills me when they try to say he's a hack. He could hang with the big boys on the same stage. I'm gonna listen to him. I listen to all of them

@TruthTellert63 4 месяца назад

@@raminrouchi202 Indeed. In fact, he WAS one of the big boys on stage. (In the late 70s, he was usually the biggest, or, more accurately, the most massive.) He was a big presence in bodybuilding, as well. I started training during that period; a lot of people these days don't realize just how much of an 'influencer' he was at that time.

@raminrouchi202 4 месяца назад

@@TruthTellert63 i know all about him and in my opinion....not a popular one...Arnold stole the Olympia from him. Best case: Arnold should def not have won. He wasn't in shape...his legs were sub par. But he basically financed it. Tom Platz says if he just went with it he would have "won" after Franco the next year but it's dishonest and that broke Mike

This should be shown to EVERYONE who has interest getting into bodybuilding or just starting out. Mike lays it simple and straightforward here, right down the line. No BS, not trying to sell anything, just the facts. It's crazy what our sport has become these days. Fantastic work John!

I started out with the workouts of the pros... overtrained and frustrated. I did some of Arnold's, a little more success, but I wanted more. I studied training, diet, and mental focus like a mad man. Then I read Mike's articles in Flex and IronMan magazine and something clicked. I started growing like crazy and I even got the ultimate compliment... someone asked what I was using to get big. Thanks, Mike.

I like Arnold and try to train like him Sense i was a kid and i started to training like Mike and I'm getting more results in less time at the gym then going 5 days a week for 1h in half a day. Its really working. not easy though specially mentally 😅

@raminrouchi202 4 месяца назад

Hell yeah it is.....one or two warm up sets and that one working set sounds easy. Each rep is absolute agony to the muscle because you're going so slow . If you workout like he says I don't care who you are you're gonna grow

@steelphantom9105 3 месяца назад

Why not find a middle ground with the weight training, meaning why go from one extreme to the other? Both high volume and high intensity are both made famous by chemically enhanced and genetic gifted people.

@raminrouchi202 3 месяца назад

@@steelphantom9105 all of the volume training like you see in the muscle mags are all based of of steroid use. Steroids make you RECOVER faster. HIT training was tailored for the person that did not use steroids

@huhwhatomg 10 дней назад

Worked out in my teens and would spend an hour on my targeted muscle group, then an hour of abs, then an hour of cardio. I wish someone would've noticed and stepped in to stop me. I probably would've stuck to bodybuilding if I knew about hit

Sori john i want ask again for make sure. Each exercise only do 1 set ? Or before working set, have 1 - 2 set addtional for warm up set ?

@Starbreaker2012 4 месяца назад

Warm up with lighter weights where needed. Only one set is necessary to stimulate a growth stimulus provided enough intensity is generated.

@Starbreaker2012 4 месяца назад

I used to injure myself by going to failure with consecutive reps. Now I choose weights that enable good form, and include rest pauses as the set progresses, to allow waste products to subside thereby facilitating sufficient intensity.

How long does it take for decompensation or muscle atrophy to occur? Is it a certain amount of time without training or is it primarily through diet?

@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE 4 месяца назад

It depends on how inactive you are. If you're reasonably active (daily activities), it can take weeks, perhaps months. If you immobilize a limb so that no movement or contractions of the muscle is possible, significant atrophy takes place in the 5-14 day range.

@ronaldmccutcheon1329 4 месяца назад

Remember when Mike TRIED to lose muscle preparing for the Superstars competition on ABC and found it difficult because he was doing other sports?

@Starbreaker2012 4 месяца назад

A stimulus must occur in less than 5 days to progress, and less than 10 days to maintain. Test it yourself?

@steelphantom9105 3 месяца назад

@@Starbreaker2012. Truth! This low frequency of training works for some naturals, but must would do best on a moderate frequency (every 3-5 days) and volume (2 hard sets). You should experiment with your own training to see what works best for you.

@steelphantom9105 3 месяца назад

The extremes of the high intensity and high volume wouldn’t work for most naturals, it’s somewhere in between you have to find out what works for you.

At that rate, you ll be an elephant in a few decades lol

@Starbreaker2012 4 месяца назад

Whilst it's true that a ketogenic diet doesn't provide enough carbohydrate to facilitate high intensity training, a high carbohydrate diet is only healthy if you don't eat sufficient to gain weight, because it will stimulate too much insulin, leading to visceral fat formation, insulin resistance and susceptibility to many chronic ill health conditions as a consequence. Only about a quarter of maintenance energy as carbohydrate is optimal, and 1/8 as protein.
