More than any other bodybuilding writer or authority Mike Mentzer single-handedly changed the way bodybuilders the world over have looked at exercise. A logical (and necessary) companion volume to Mentzers last book (High Intensity Training The Mike Mentzer Way" which was also co-authored by Little) " The Wisdom of Mike Mentzer" goes much further. Whereas the former book revealed the fundamentals of Mentzers revolutionary " Heavy Duty" training system the latter presents not only Mentzers final & most recent discoveries & innovations but also never-before-released "advanced" training techniques that were known only to Mentzers inner circle & personal clients. Illustrated with the most motivational photographs ever taken of Mentzer (in the gym posing & at work) as well as a gallery of his greatest inspirational physique shots " The Wisdom of Mike Mentzer" is THE definitive book on the exacting science of building muscle
- fast. Some of the materials revealed for the first time within the pages of this book are: how excessive training is slowing down your progress; the importance of working to the "point of failure"; Mentzers pioneering use of the early Nautilus machines: a complete " Heavy Duty" seminar; Mike Mentzers " Most Productive" Routine; advanced " Heavy Duty" training techniques; a workout of two sets performed once a week
- & why Mentzer thought it worked "like magic" compared to any other bodybuilding program; & how to push past mental & physical plateaus. in addition the Mentzer estate has made available to the author never-before-released written audio & video materials (including Mentzers research into a revolutionary workout that consists of but two sets performed once every seven days that caused one client to actually "double" his bodyweight in one year!) from the Mike Mentzer archives which when combined with Littles unique personal history with Mentzer & full understanding of his training methods have resulted in startling new insights & novel applications of Mentzers revolutionary " Heavy Duty" training method."
