Recently, I noticed a guy I’d trained around for a few years in the gym move some pretty impressive weight, far more than what he’d been regularly capable of. He was in good shape too. Naturally, I complimented him and was intrigued to know what had changed in his training. That’s when he told me he was following Mike Mentzer’s ‘Heavy Duty’ training method.
For those who don’t know, Mike Mentzer was an American bodybuilder with a very impressive physique and was also the first (and only) man to earn a perfect score of 300 at the elite bodybuilding contest, Mr. Universe. He also had a very cool-looking mustache and an envious head of hair.
