High-Intensity Training the Mike Mentzer Way
About this product
A PAPERBACK ORIGINAL High-intensity bodybuilding advice from the first man to win a perfect score in the Mr. Universe competition This one-of-a-kind book profiles the high-intensity training (HIT) techniques pioneered by the late Mike Mentzer, the legendary bodybuilder, leading trainer, and renowned bodybuilding consultant. His highly effective, proven approach enables bodybuilders to get results--and win competitions--by doing shorter, less frequent workouts each week. Extremely time-efficient, HIT sessions require roughly 40 minutes per week of training--as compared with the lengthy workout sessions many bodybuilders would expect to put in daily. In addition to sharing Mentzer's workout and training techniques, featured here is fascinating biographical information and striking photos of the world-class bodybuilder--taken by noted professional bodybuilding photographers--that will inspire and instruct serious bodybuilders and weight lifters everywhere.

Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this book is highly educational, thorough, and useful, with many readers calling it an amazing and outstanding read; opinions on value for money are mixed, with some saying it is worth the price and others finding it boring or useless.
Goodreads reviews are broadly positive, with readers praising it as a must-read for rethinking training strategy and pushing limits, though some community discussion shows debate around Mentzer’s nutrition and training claims.
On YouTube, the available search results surfaced several videos about Mike Mentzer’s high-intensity training, including reviews, critiques, and discussions of his HIT method, which suggests active interest in the exact training philosophy covered by the book.
Overall, real customer feedback trends positive on the content and practical value, while the main criticism centers on whether the method is truly effective for everyone and whether the book is worth the cost.
