Nice one "T" Do I smell a show in the future? Thanks Randy. As far as a show goes, I'm still undecided.

Decided to try a little Mike Mentzer Heavy Duty (as given to Dorian Yates) workout this week.
Worksets will only be listed.
Here we go!!!April 16/07Incl. Machine Press: 2 warm-up sets DB Flyes: 55xfailure Incl. Machine Press: 180xfailure Machine Shoulder Press: 2 warm-up sets Machine Lat Raises: 110xfailure Machine Rear Delts: 140xfailure Tricep Pushdowns: 2 warm-up sets Tricep Extensions: 100x8 Weighted Dips: bodyweight + 45xfailure Cardio: 10 min. Cybex Eliptical - Interval Hill Setting 10 min. Walking on Treadmill Total Workout Time (excluding Cardio): 30 min.This was a friggin tough workout!!! Not much different from my regular DC. Exercises were still performed at a cadence of 4 sec. in positive; 2 sec. in static; and 4 sec. in negative. Rests were kept to around 30 sec. I found the use of a second exercise per body part made some difference. Good one Terry! I followed this exact routine for a long time back in the day!

This has to be the only sport where you get success though failure!

April 18/07
Warm-up: CG Lat Pulldowns
DB Pullovers: 100xfatigue
Lat Pulldowns: 210xfatigue
HS Rows: 180xfatigue DB Shrugs: 120xfatigue *new PB
HS Curls: 90xfatigue
90 Degree Curls: 100xfatige 80x4 partials
A really tough one again. Most of my reps were between 6-10. Also, I was very happy with the DB Shrugs. I originally planned on 110's but that felt too light...so I upped to 120s...BOOYA!!!!

April 20/07Leg Extensions: 280xfatigue Horizontal Leg Press: 300xfatigue Squats: 405xfatigue Leg Curls: 180xfatigue Stiff Deads: 145xfatigue Donkey Calves: 180xfatigue HS Calves: 450xfatigue ...and I'm done!!! (thank God) This was another tough one. While reviewing this last week's workouts, I've noticed that they're not much different from what I'm doing in DC. - In terms of fatigue: DC has you do another 2 sets of fatigue.
- In terms of exercise frequency: Mentzer's HD training calls for 2 exercises per bodypart; DC only does 1 exercise per body part per workout.
Which is better? Well, both have advantages. That being said, I think I'll be continuing with my modified version of DC using Mentzer's techniques of: no momentum, focusing on negatives and statics, and minimal rest time between exercises. I may also add another exercise once in a while. DC also has a 3 day split as opposed to a 2 day split to allow more rest between workouts - this may be an option to look at.
