Anyone seen Mike Mentzer vid (with Markus Reinhardt)

[D&G]

Reinhardt was training only once every 6-8 days WTF! is anyone else using a system like that?

[IronMike]

Isn't this training style called H.I.T.

[D&G]

Yes, but this method of HIT is a lot less than I've ever seen before he did:

Chest/back

-Eight days rest

Legs

-Eight days rest

Shoulders/Arms

Eight days rest


that's less than one workout per week!!! I'm just wondering if anyone here works out with a frequency like that.

[Anabolik]

I haven't seen anyone post a routine like that. I bet it took a lot of self restraint to say out of the gym like that!

Peace

I havent seen the vid, but heard of the style. Mentzer uses it in his muscles in minutes book. His latest.
This is a w/o from that book:

WORKOUT ONE:
superset
Dumbbell flyes, Crossovers or Pec Deck
Incline Presses

Close-Grip, Palms-Up Pulldowns

Deadlift (or Shrugs)

5-7 DAYS LATER DO:

WORKOUT TWO:
superset
Leg Extensions
Leg Presses

Standing Calf Raises

Sit-Ups

5-7 DAYS LATER DO:

WORKOUT THREE:
Dumbbell Laterals

Bent-Over Dumbbell Laterals

Barbell Curls

superset
Tricep Pressdowns
Dips

5-7 DAYS LATER DO:

WORKOUT FOUR:

superset
Leg Extension
Squat

Standing Calf Raise

Sit-Ups

Like Porky Pig says, "That's all folks"!

6- 10 reps for upper body movements & deadlifts,
3-5 reps for Incline Presses & Dips
12-20 reps for abs and lower body movements.

That's almost the exact workout Reinhardt does in the vid, he rests either 6 days or 8 days between workouts depending on how he feels - that's crazy to be sitting around for that long between workouts, you'd be working each muscle once a month!!! what a waste of gym membership!

has ne1 done this workout posted or in the vid?

does it even work..looks like too much rest?

[Heavy Duty]

As I said in my post before Markus needs that many rest day because he is so big and natural. There was also a comment that "you did not know if you could rest that long without being in the gym". You have a limited recovery ability, each time you workout you put yourself in a hole. The only way to cover that hole and to add a little extra is to rest however many days it takes weather it be 3 or 8.

To much rest!! Whahaha, NOT if you do eacht set to total muscular failure, not just positive failure.....

[D&G]

the video is confusing with what they say - he actually trains 2/3 times a week not once every 6 to 8 days - he answered this on a newsgroup because people were confused that he was training less than once a week

[i50drive]

so has any1 here on the board followed the video?

were the results better than programs before? how is it.

looking for feedback from ppl here on the baord who have tried it
