With Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty method, you overtrain your nervous system, undertrain your muscles, overload your joints and don't train your cardiovascular system at all: so that's mostly the summary of everything he must not do!
To make these training programs potentially effective, it would be necessary at least to increase the frequency of training and to carry out a warm-up in a pyramidal climb on each series. For example, in the squat, a series of work at 10@120 kg could be preceded by: 10@90 kg - 10@105 kg.
But this does not solve the problem of personalization according to the level of the practitioner, his morphology and his sports background.
Anyway, Mike Mentzer at least had the merit of reflecting on the practice of bodybuilding, when many train randomly or by stupidly copying others.
May he be thanked and rest in peace.
