Mike Mentzer: You ONLY Need 1-2 Sets

[alexanderwolfgang]

1 - 2 WORKING sets.

You always have 2 or so warm-up sets, before the working sets.

[marsisthegodofwar]

Hes basically hitting failure slowly but surely on every set. Smart man.

[dwade]

Most people who criticize Mike don't realize that he means 1 set to FAILURE...COMPLETE FAILURE where you CAN NOT do one more repetition. 👍

[Anudorini-Talah]

Who in the hell wants to do twenty 😂 XD hahaha
I picture all the aerobic lifters in the gym lmao 😂😂😂😂

[williamknutson]

Only a gangster would work out that way and that's the way I want to work out

[spencerskewes]

You do a few small/big arm circles then throw 225 on bench and rep it out

[dikaioskyrios]

When you do sets to failure as taught by Mike, you DONT want to do 20 sets

[shelstone]

People who saying it doesnt work just have to follow the science. Overtraining is for the roid guys. It erases the need for natural recovery time

[InternetStuff]

Wow! And all this time we focused on Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno playing the Hulk on television. But completely overlooked Mike Mentzer, who may actually be the smartest bodybuilder on the roster.

[Soar_order]

I’m sticking to 1 set till failure and no more.

[p.l.diablo]

3 sets, 10, 8, 6 heavy heavier heaviest to failure. 48 to 72 hrs recovery.

[RomeKumar-llhb]

In other words, 2 exercises per muscle; 3 sets per exercise. 2x warm up sets, 1 working set.
I.e. for chest. 10, 8, 6, on bench, 10, 8, 6 cable flys. That’s it

[philscomputerlab]

I see all these videos, but nit a sungle one dhowing what this magical set looks like.

[CoachIronBar]

These clips keep leaving out the slow tempo required for this type of training.not good info for beginners.

[ggabe]

Remember, some of what Mike Mentzer says is awesome, some other things he says have been unequivocally proven false by science. Be careful when listening to 40 year old fitness advice.

[bingbongwingwong]

It's weird how true this is, but it's not all that fun

[RaRa]

Wait until Elon Musk finds out Mentzer has been radioing in from Mars all this time 😂😂

[Liftgainz]

Tip this is after the muscle build 💪 this is maintainace

[MuhammedTheth]

8-10 sets for muscle group per week is optimal

[tkretro]

2 sets per exercise 3 exercise per muscle. Twice a week
