Lastly, and probably the most ineffective method of them all for natties is Mentzers. The lift extremely heavy to failure once every week (although I think he took even longer breaks) for one or two working sets for very low reps utilising negatives and forced reps.
Good for you. I believed an article was even written by truth seeker on heavy duty training. Maybe you should look it up. Although that's not the reason for me listing it as ineffective. If the program worked for you, its because you weren't really following Mentzers full program as he did. Training a muscle group once a week can and does work, but that's not what I was referring too, nor what mentzer preached. He preached one working set to failure, perhaps once a week maybe longer for a bodypart. Maybe he did some warm ups (probably did), but it doesn't change the fact this method is not the "best" for naturals. That doesn't mean it can't get you to your genetic potential however.
Glad I could explain it to you again.
Ok so why wouldn't it work? If you are progressing why will it not build muscle?
No i do not follow any ones system...I just progressed and that required plenty of rest. I like to lift heavy rather than high volume. I say heavy as in relatively. I won;t be winning any strogngman competitions.
You say high volume, low volume, every day, once a week, split training does not work....so what DOES work in your opinion? What is left?
