Mike Mentzer was known for his Heavy Duty training philosophy, which focused on brief, intense workouts with heavy weights and a strong emphasis on recovery. His approach was different from traditional high-volume training and focused on high intensity and low frequency. Here’s an example of a Mike Mentzer-style workout ⬇️⬇️
