👨 About Me
Hi my name is JT & this is my story
I remember going to the gym 5 days & sometimes even every day / 7 days a week for 2-3 hours & even though I achieve a physique better than 80% of gym goers I was not satisfy with it because the amount of effort I was putting in & out the gym.
I was tired of that bullshit so I started to listen to Mike Mentzer & Dorian Yates, implemented what they preach ( workout less, train to failure, eat a well balanced diet & rest to let the growth process happens ) now I’m stronger & bigger than ever working out 3-4 x a week for 45min - 1hr max = 4 hours a week, now I got time for my family, for myself, to growth my business & enjoy life while still looking & feeling amazing & that’s what I want to share with you 🚀

This works ive trained as natty for 9 years now i thought i reached a wall and couldnt get more. since doing mikes stuff ive gained a 1.2 inches on each arm and grew my chest by 2 inch its riducolous. Probably grew in other places which i can tell by eye but i dont measure. This deffo works its best for nattys as easy to track progress just concentrating on 1-2 exercises per muscle and 1 all out set. Write down your rep number for each exercises and what the weight is when you can do 10 reps of an exercise jsut add the weight itll drop your reps down to 5 - 6 and just keep going to you get that to 10 reps then repeat. Ull be mind blown

I'm currently trying this program out though I changed it from 1 set to 2 sets to failure, the quantity of reps lowers a lot from the first to the second set. I used to work out 4-5 days a week now I'm keeping true to the 4 day recovery break between training days. I'm hoping as a natural and 2 years into bodybuilding that this new change in my training helps me get out of a plateau that I've been experiencing for half a year now. Will be updating upon seeing changes or not.

1 set should be enough or less you feel like you didn’t got everything out of it. Also you can take less rest time, instead of 4 maybe 2. I do HIT every other day, one week I Train 4 x the next 3 times. But yeah keep me updated bro 💪🏽

Squats are enough for upper legs, you can do hamstring curls with a dumbell on the floor with the DB between your feet,no need to go heavy on this. For calfs buy weigth belt, put some plates on the belt arround your waist and do calf raises on a stair or step up thing or any elevated thing you have. Thats how i train legs at home.

1 set of lateral raises every 16 days? How can that work? I wish it did work though but I need feedback from people who have tried it long term

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

Sounds wild when you put it like that 😂 I’ve tried for a while & it does work, just give it a try & know you don’t have to follow everything exactly as he said

[@rrurban]

@@MikeMentzerHITBearer Casey Viator was on a M-W-F routine, that's what I'm going to try. 1 set every 16 days leaves me totally unconvinced

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

@@rrurban yeah, I like it more every other day too.

[@rrurban]

Follow up: tried it on my chest, delts, tris for a few weeks and have already gotten great results. But, the workouts are just WAY too short for me - I enjoy the gym. I get great results from volume training still so to shock my muscles I’m going to alternate workouts and see how it goes. Week 1 - volume training, week 2 - HIT

doesn't work at all for natural athletes. Tested it for 1 year. The result was fat gain and muscle loss

[@isaiahcastillo5771]

I have a question for the body building community. When Mentzer says perform 5-8 reps to failure, does he mean lift heavy weight that will get you to fail the 5th rep, or hit 5-8 reps as many sets that you can do?

[@scorchrp6871]

It means pick a weight where you will fail somewhere between 5 to 8 reps. Once you hit 8 reps then you can raise the weight

[@isaiahcastillo5771]

@@scorchrp6871 Ah, I see. So then we can hit as many sets as we are willing to go in the workout? I think that's what Mentzer was saying in the vid.

[@scorchrp6871]

@Isaiah Castillo nah, warm up a little bit until you get to your working weight. Then perform 1 set to failure. One set is all you need.

[@isaiahcastillo5771]

@@scorchrp6871 Thank you! Now this is making sense. So a few warm up sets are done before the actual working set right? ( ex. Pyramid warmup sets) Basically as many as we may need to prepare for that one working set?

[@scorchrp6871]

@Isaiah Castillo yeah, you just don't wanna overdue it on the warm up sets so they don't take away from your one working set. You only get one set so make sure it counts!

[@santiagovalencia479]

How many sets are these though? Especially on day 2?

[@MikeMentzerHITBearer]

Everything 1 set bri

[@eliaskiller0076]

Still i think you warm up a bit with lighter weights on each exercise

[@gatorsam2017]

I’m just so confused you only do one set of four workouts twice a week?? I just don’t get it man

What’s so confusing about doing an exercise to failure & taking a couple days off??

[@gatorsam2017]

@@MikeMentzerHITBearer just tried it for the first time today ironically. Life changing. Also didn’t know that you do 1-3 warm up sets I like that a lot more. Greatest I have ever felt during and after a workout without a doubt

Used almost identical program and all lift go up each week in weight and usually reps stay the same or even increase. Barbell Bicep Curls feom last 4 workouts look like this: 70x8 75x10 80x9 90x9 100x8 All to complete failure

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing bro 💪🏽

[@benhadley2310]

Are you working biceps every week? Or every 16 days or so?

I only do 1 legs workout so I have 3 different workouts. With 2-3 days in between for rest. So on average I do barbell curls 1 set every 9-10 days. @@benhadley2310

Can you still do body weight exercises in between on rest days such as press ups and sit ups? Or nothing

You're doing something wrong. It works well on naturals and those that say they are hard gainers. John Heart (who I really don't like) claims to be natural; I believe him. He won Mr. AMERICA a couple of decades ago, and claims to have spent most of his life doing Mike Mentzer's HIT. He claims that he was trained by him and was a friend of his back in the day.

Pedal to the metal and being burned out means you didn't do HIT properly. I am much less burned out now, and I'm seeing results after a couple of months.
