Training like mike mentzer

[lonilsny]

I train like mike mentzer now but i feel that 4 days between each workout is crazy as by doing so i target the same muscle each 14 days i feel l like i am losing my gains so can i train a day and take a day-off or should i train like he exactly did.
Ps: i feel recovered completely from the workout after 1 or 2 days max

@lonilsny It’s almost as if being dogmatic leads to worse results

@doks …or, addicted to meth, and high out of your mind when you’re trying to come up with the best methods on how to train.

@roselee Mike probably needed so much rest from his meth fueled workouts. Nothing quite ups your intensity like meth.

@christianmom21 that is really the only way I can see someone making gains with his method.

@doks So i am currently making gains on a Mentzer program, not the same one as OP - but what is with the hate for HIT? every time i see people hating on HIT saying it is a cult yet the same cult like behaviour is done by the advocates of high volume too.

Literally do not understand it lmao

@lovinghusbandforever When did I say I was a high volume advocate? Do you just assume everyone who criticizes HIT automatically does high volume?
