Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty II program.

Even though I agree with the Christian/Biblical view about homosexuality, many individuals do not consider that homosexuality is a genetic abberation, which means that with exceptions, it is a personal choice. That is, according to evolutionary theory, a species survives because of its ability...

Why do additional sets beyond failure? That will lead to overtraining. Also, are you truly training to failure? That is a key indicator for your training progress.

Section 8, I apoligize that my reply to your post is inbedded within your post. My response is now within the 3rd paragraph of your response. BTW, as a psychologist and educator, I truly believe that we need to have absolute standards, whether they are biological or psychological in nature. In...

Why do cardio? Or an aerobics workout of any kind? When performing a strictly aerobic workout, the body burns calories only during the duration of the activity. However, a high intemsity strength training program and a sensible diet will allow you to burn daily at least 50 cal. per each of pound...

I train every 5-8 days. Currently, I am using the Mentzer HD II split routine, with some modification.

This post hits the nail on the head, its a veritable HIT approach.

How many days do you have between workouts? The workout itself has too many sets per exercise, unless some of those sets are warm-ups.

I agree, there is no further need to debate; however, an exchange of ideas is a good thing. I, too, take classes. In addition to working a job 60+ hours per week, I am working toward a 2nd Master's Degree, which requires that I attend class two times weekly, 3 hr. per session, plus complete an...

Interesting that you still make comments that are agreeable with my posts. To wit, I never commented about your training, I have simple stated that one needs to understand the physiological principles that drive effective training. Furthermore, you do not disprove my view that HIT is more...

Camarosuper6: There are others who think like you; you can find them at high-intensity .net, just to name one site.

I agree, Flex, that there is no need to argue; rather, I prefer a rational excahnge of ideas that can benefit myself as well as others who have or are read/reading these posts. Why do you think, for instance, that volume training is the best way to go, so to speak? In addition, how do you...

Thank you for agreeing with my posts, even if you did not realize you were doing so. All people are the same, even though genetic and cultural variations are present. Therefore, we all learn and gain physically in the same way, though there may not be a difference in the degree or level of...

I rotate between two workouts Workout A Squat or Leg Press Weighted Dip Prone Row Workout B Deadlift Overhead Press or Incline Bench Weighted Chin Each set is taken to momentary muscular failure using a 10/10 rep cadence, though I will cycle other rep cadences that are no faster than 4/4. I...

Hello, Captain Deadlift (perfect username, BTW, I wish I had thought of it). I've been training for 20 yr, during which I have used HIT for the past 17 yr.

Interesting, Flex. You state that 95% do not know what they are doing, but that you and your friends and guys from your gym (who are monsters, in your words) use volume training. Do those who do not know what they are doing train with volume? If so, then you proved my point. In addition, what...

Any time that the body is excercised, an inroad is made into the body's recuperative system. The more frequently one exercises and the longer one exercises requires longer recovery periods. The initial recovery stages accomplish no more than filling in the hole, so to speak, made by the...

Flex, prove what? If you want to learn about HIT/HD, and to do so with a rational approach, access high-intensity.net. Besides, what I posted is accurate. The majority of successess in BB have used volume, but they have used steroids as well; otherwise, explain how the successful pro BB has such...

Although Wolverine is my favorite character, I am most like Cyclops--I hold everything together.
