I was exactly 183lbs with 15% body fat and 36 years old at 5' 11 1/4". I was using volume training prior to starting HD and was in relatively good shape. I decided to try a differnt approach and the more I heard Mike speak, the more sense he made to me. Why I had begun the routine my dead lift in heavy duty form was 185lbs for ten reps. My incline barbell press was 165lbs for 4 reps directly after completing the pecdeck for a 10-12 range. By April 1, 2010, I was was exactly 206lbs and 17.5% body fat. My deadlift was 365lbs for ten reps and my incline press was 225lbs for 4 perfect reps. The Heavy Duty Mentzer routine was singularly the most effective size and strenght program I had ever used. Now here are the downsides, the workouts are brutal if following it perfectly to the letter, and there were days I needed more than 4 days to recover. Next, I suffered from joint pain. Lastly, My HDL's went very low and my LDL's were a little high. I was eating on average 6-10lbs of red meat a week to bulk up and completely cut out cardio. I decided that my overall health was more imortant than being muscle bound. I began a high volume training, low weight training program with cardio three days a week, usually a three mile run. I currently maintain about 193lbs at 12% body fat. My cholesterol levels are perfect. I started using the Heavy Duty Workout by Mike Mentzer on September 17,2009.

It is important to note that beginners should not start themselves off doing this type of workout. They should be starting with just straight sets - NO SUPERSETS until you start to plateau, then add one. If you start off doing this type of heavy superset workout right away, your body will get used to it quickly and you will be stuck at an unsurmountable plateau before long.
