I like mikes physique... But if you read the old musclemag international magazine articles where they actually followed him around during his training it was diffinitely not hit... He came up with the very low volume training later.. He did for financial reasons , obviously, work for nautilus and espouse their " greatness" ect.. I attended a mentor seminar when I was in high school.. All he would talk about was logic and various theories that had little to do with bodybuilding lol.. But hit seems to go in waves.. It gets a revival every few years ..
