About this listen
For decades, Mike Mentzer’s High-Intensity Training (HIT) has been treated as gospel by bodybuilders chasing maximum gains with minimum work. But what if everything you’ve been told about one-set-to-failure training is not just incomplete—but scientifically bankrupt?
In The Mike Mentzer Myth: Why High-Intensity Training Fails and Volume Prevails, a no-nonsense deconstruction dismantles HIT’s foundational claims with brutal clarity. Drawing on peer-reviewed research, real-world training data, and the principles used by elite athletes, this book exposes the physiological, logical, and philosophical flaws behind Mentzer’s Heavy Duty system.
Inside, you’ll discover why volume training—done right—is not “junk,” but the precise tool required for long-term hypertrophy, recovery management, and adaptation. From the lies about overtraining and recovery, to the steroid distortions propping up HIT’s false legacy, this is the definitive takedown of bodybuilding’s most persistent myth.
Whether you're a frustrated lifter, a confused beginner, or a coach ready to leave dogma behind, this book will rewire how you think about muscle growth—forever.
