It isnt a heavy weight for me? Wouldn't you first ask how much I weigh first?

What I mean is that if you sped up your tempo and did less weight you could lift heavier weights.

Therefore the weights you are using here are not heavy for you.

I don't expect others to do this, it looks ridiculous and you might get mocked...dogs may even piss on your leg. I'm just an I don't give a shit type of guy.

Some folks who weigh less than I do have generous spare tires.

Have you tried this one? Quite a workout. Even more so with ankle weights.

If there is one thing I learned over the years is that everyone's body is different. What works for one person wont necessarily and most likely wont works for you. These influencers you see online are genetically gifted people. Doing weights twice a week for me would do nothing, have tried it many times during busy times at work, for me it resulted in a quick decline in my lifts, for me to actually see gains in my lifting i have to lift minimum 4 times a week, preferably 5. Also I noticed doing 15k steps a day was the point where I started to lose weight not 10k.

Mike Mentzer would disagree. He states that bodybuilding is a science and that his HIT principles work for everyone.

Define "Works for everyone"?

Define "Works for everyone"?

Mentzer defines 'everyone' literally, as every human being. Obviously, we all have different genetics, so some will develop bigger muscles, and more quickly than others. Also, we all have different recovery abilities, from hard, intense workouts, or any physical activity. I don't necessarily agree with him, but his theories and principles make sense, otherwise, how could we have medical science, that applies that all humans, if we all responded differently to medicine and surgical operations? Mentzer maintains that his HIT workout system works more quickly and efficiently that others, that is, with much less time in the gym/week.
