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.

I love lifting. I love being in the gym. I would just fizzle after a while. This book explains it. I simply can't lift 3 times a week and make long term progress with out steroids. Did Mike do roids? Sure! Read between the lines in this book. He basically admits it. I've been lifting every week since reading this book 4 years ago. Although a workout consisting of one ...
