Anyone read Mike Mentzer's "High Intensity Training"?

Did you take 96 hours between each workout

I watched another video , one right before he passed , I think , don't quote

But his pupil took 6 days I believe because he felt he wasn't recovered yet

Let's put it this was I loaded up Smith machine with 250 and knew I could knock out 6 to 9 range , tested w one rep

But I forgot one important detail !!
There is literally zero momentum when you do 4 2 4
Had to cut that weight down significantly

Because 250 at that cadence felt like 350 400 for example

Its been about 15 years since I tried it,lol. I cant remember how many days rest I took. It seemed like it was just so intense that it wasnt something I could maintain all of the time. Maybe something you could do in a periodization routine. Report back to us with some long term results.

I recently read his book. Some of it doesn't seem correct, especially the fact that for most body parts he only has listed one set.

Chest
Dumbell Flyes 1 x 6-10 reps
Incline presses 1 x 1-3 reps

I'm not sure how you could follow this by using the heavy weight but seemingly skipping any warm up? Am I missing something here? This seems like a good way to get a bad injury
