MIKE MENTZER: HIS ORIGINAL "HIT" VIDEO SCRIPT REVEALED!

[@Iron.Historian]

Gone too soon! You never see true pioneers like him these days.

[@bad_money]

Your video on him was absolutely brilliant!

[@Fazerjon]

...largely due to the ground already being covered 🤔

[@reidos6420]

Thank you for this video and for keeping Mike's legacy alive!

[@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE]

You’re welcome. I’m glad you liked it.

John I'm astounded how Mike has exploded on your channel and other fitness channels. I believe his philosophies and story touch something fundamental and relatable to those who learn about him here.

[@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE]

I agree. I will admit being surprised at the exponential growth of interest in Mike’s ideas, which is wonderful for his legacy.

[@mikelevenson7271]

@@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE His life would make a fascinating documentary or movie

[@stevemann1299]

It truly is and its been a long time coming. I think many ordinary trainers are starting to feel they've been had by the volume brigade. And many are now willing to at least give HIT a chance. And many are liking the results.

[@1Tim1.15]

Love watching this! I've parted ways with my personal trainer who insists that I stop following Mike... but i just wanna follow what works 🤷‍♂️

[@JeffSmith-fx6pv]

You can believe what Mike Mentzer says is correct!

[@pinzytoto7698]

to be honest...90% of these PTs are full of sh 😂😂

[@GoldenEraMotivation]

Incredible edit keep it up!

[@lemmy9362]

Rest in peace, Mike. Not long ago, I was a 120kg unhealthy fat guy. I randomly watched a KZbin video of Mentzer talking about HIT, and I thought, "Wow, it's really worth spending about 30 minutes each week to get in shape." And if it doesn't work, who cares? It's such a small effort. So, I started a low-calorie diet and worked out as he instructed. It's been about a year and a half, and I weigh about 75 kg now. I feel very good about myself, both physically and mentally, because I was able to reach my goal and hell, it feels good to watch myself in the mirror! I don't even go to the gym. I have my dad spotting me, and I bought 100kg of weights, a barbell, 2 dumbbell sticks, a roller pulley, and a rope. I welded the pulley to my roof, and I hang weights with a rope for my pulldowns and tricep pressdowns. I use a piece of wood to make an incline bench. Here's my workout routine: Day 1 Flat bench DB flyes superset incline press Close grip palms-up pulldowns Deadlifts Day 2 Squats Standing calf raises Sit-ups Day 3 DB lateral raises Bent over DB lateral raises Barbell curls Triceps pressdowns superset dips Day 4 Legs Squats Standing calf raises Sit-ups 4 to 7 days of rest between workouts.

[@l042987]

That's awesome I just started my journey after 2 years of garbage training I gained muscles and what not but not where I'd like to be! What kind of diet do you follow?

[@lemmy9362]

@@l042987 I only eat typical Iranian home made food which is mostly rice, beef and lamb, chicken, vegetables and beans, bread and eggs. You should try some Dizi you'll love it :)) and good luck with your training!

[@Naturalhit]

Very well.done John.

Amazing edit

[@CJ.1998X.Y.Z]

I only got into the gym a year ago to lose some weight. I’m no body builder. But the idea that for fat loss ONLY total calories matter and excess protein makes you just as fat as other calories. That I can still have a piece of pizza or ice cream if I cut calories elsewhere. To make my weight exercise intense and brief. To not overly fuss over particular foods and no food or machine will work magic. That when I bulk excessive protein and calories just isn’t needed, only a small number per day. Thanks for all the wisdom Mike

[@EKTELESTES]

This is an AMAZING VIDEO, clearly showcasing what Mike meant about "Intensity". It also demonstrates that if you do not strictly care about bodybuilding and you just want to get stronger, you should BE CAREFUL or you'll get injured. You will get considerably stronger if you follow Mike's general advice even without going to failure or even near failure, it will just take you more time.

[@mahdigharanli]

Man i sure wish Mike could still be with us, but i am greatful we were lucky enough to have him for that time, even if short.

[@chrisremmett]

Yeah. What he left behind for us in his limited time was great. He has more intelligence and passion for educating than most.

[@Black-Circle]

This isn't just another work out this is THE work out

[@saizkumar3627]

Thank John little... ❤

[@andrewmeyers1853]

I really enjoyed the insight into Mike’s true vision for the video. Great stuff!

[@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PRXFIT]

Great video, always love watching and appreciate what you do to promote mikes ideas.

[@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE]

I appreciate that!

[@caseinnitratjr6861]

Great video . Thank you. Always when i see the training footage with Markus, i feel for him 😅what a heavy duty.

[@phillipbuckley3602]

RIP Mike & Ray Mentzer....Mike was a f#ckin Gem!! ....A true pioneer of bodybuilding...RIP

[@billhennessey6374]

Amazing video. It's hard to believe that both Mike and Ray were gone about 48 hours after the filming of this.

[@zarathustra007]

fascinating and insightful.

[@quart5extakkord]

Highly interesting. I like the background knowledge. Thank you!

[@Tanochanta]

You did it once and again but each time better and better... thanks a lot for sharing this unbelievable knowledge 👏 🙏 🙌

[@theironforce3000]

Excellent breakdown and info! I never knew that was not Mike narrating over the video 😮 I saw this years ago- sounded just like him to me..

[@therockiscooking4119]

18:16 What Mike says here is arguably one of the best pieces of advice for bodybuilding.

[@billivory2754]

Thank you!! Answered many of my questions!

[@bdr7576]

I think Mike would be pleasantly surprised what his research, philosophy and his life ultimately means to so many of us out here, nearly a quarter century later.

[@i1pro]

That was very instructive. Thank you!

[@fitneszfater]

This is a very important video

[@WolfenSköll-Mountains]

After Mister Olympia in 1980: a journalist asked Mentzer if he trained 6 hours a day to have that massive physique and Mike responded "..I train 3 days a week, 1 hour a day.." this video CONFIRMS that Heavy Duty is LESS is MORE!!! INTENSITY is everything and NOT volume. Those superseries were "scorching" 🔥

[@RomanDobs]

This is Gold 🥇 the only video I’ll ever need I truly believe in this method I read his books and tried this method after being a weight lifter and then a pump chaser and this is by for the most results driven disciplined approach. The discipline comes from changing your mindeste from. More is better to quality over quantity. One working set 4 days with 4 days rest. 4-3-4 per rep. Less reps make them count increase the weight maximize your gains stop being a slave to the gym and master the game.

[@doug3066]

Mike was ahead of his time.

[@alysefu7]

This is literally gold! Tysm brother Also, I was wondering if you would upload new stuff about Steve Reeves?

[@mightymurph550]

Lord knows how much information is floating around out there

[@Brandon7_1_1_1]

Appreciate you John Truly By he way if you remember me I’m still putting 1/4 of a inch on my biceps every two weeks… and since imploreing 💉 I do it ever 8 days. Respectively, after an Arm workout or Close grip palms up pull-down (It truly is the best biecp exercise in the world) ❤

[@billcraske4328]

Pure gold, the emphasis on warm ups is very important, as some current hit "experts" say you don't need them😮😂.Try doing a 500lb squat with no warm up on a regular basis, see if your knees are in one piece at 50 years!

[@tonyducks1121]

Exactly 💯

[@JB-qt3wo]

No don’t warm up just stack weights and get bulbous

[@billcraske4328]

Hernias are bulbous 😂

[@ArjanMeijer-HIT]

Thank you for this insightfull video. Although the music of the workout video is really terrible, it is still one of my favorite workout video`s ever made (next to Blood And Gutts from Yates).

[@bondziotek5627]

I've always felt like that video was incomplete, missing some information. thanks

[@AndreLeitedaSilvaGaldino]

What a shame Mr. Mentzer died so young. We can only imagine what he would add to the fitness community if he had access to more information and scientific studies, as well as greater experience in training natural lifters. Thank you Mr. Little for your work with this channel Greetings from Brazil!

[@Highintensitylife]

Great stuff! I shared it on my blog on my new site! I will be adding some stories about Mike and me soon! Stay tuned!

[@sahlibassem8239]

His body builder athlet like Tom cruise

[@simonrosen6826]

Who is they owner of this channel

[@chrisremmett]

11:22 List your own weight of the day on the log? I’ve heard Mike Mentzer said he’s against bodybuilders weighing themselves each day they come to the gym, that weight is too inaccurate of a measure for muscle gain.

[@HEAVYDUTYCOLLEGE]

Given that one might be training once every five days or so, a notation in which you keep track of bodyweight is by no means weighing yourself on a daily basis. It’s just simply a point of reference, which may tell you if you are gaining muscle, fat, or both. You, of course, are free not to fill that in if you wish.
