captfit Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Welcome back to lifting bro , what's the Mentzer style training ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 thanks Arvid and captfit! it was nice to be properly sore again today mike mentzer was a bodybuilder in the 80's and 90's and came up with his own training method. high intensity and low volume.......with an emphasis on recovery time. look up some of his stuff on utube or google its interesting! ive done it in the past and found it really good. hope u guys have got better weather than me! 20mins bike morning and evening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cellar Yeti Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Nice that you're back to lifting. Recovery time is pinnacle in any sport, the body requires time to adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 it certainly is, i always end up overtraining but making a big effort to take alot of rest now and see how i go! thanks for stopping by cellar yeti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Go get 'em mike!! How long is a standard mentzer workout then? I'm assuming pretty short which must be cool since it gives you more time for your biking! Ooo and how's the diy machine coming?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbear666 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 hey rossco! hows things? erm it takes about 15mins. lol sounds crazy but its sheer hell, it has to be or it wont work i suppose. i nearly threw up yesterday and im acheing like hell today from like 5 sets i still wanna make a machine but its going to cost quite a bit more than i thought, and i just havent got any money at the moment story of mine and many other lives i guess haha going to have to put up with pull ups for a while whats next for your home gym mate?

mrbear666 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 it is good way of training, his books are on ebay for around a tenner usually, very interesting! theres some good vids on utube of him being interviewed by bill phillips......no pic as its a radio interview but still good. sure some will pop up eventually! i got a powertec workbench rack system, with 180-190kg, an olympic bar, the rack has pull up bars on it, leg extension, ham curls, incline decline bench, some 35 kg dumbells, a few kettle bells, some bands, a sit up bench and a spinning bike lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvid Beck Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Sounds like a nice little home gym... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Home setup sounds sweet as mate, good finds !! Looks like you have most of the basics covered there. Mentzers' books and his writings are gold, I'm an advocate of his ideologies and I'm certain his principals hold up even now, all these years after he established them.
