Mike reveals how you too can reach your greatest bodybuilding potential in the shortest amount of time, while training less that one hour a week!

HEAVY DUTY II: Mind and Body© -- Mike Mentzer's "magnum opus", his final evolution of the theory of High-Intensity Training.

The title speaks for itself, as it is a book of high philosophy, motivational success stories, and the very zenith of bodybuilding training science. HEAVY DUTY II is known by most as "the bible" of high-intensity bodybuilding. This is more than a bodybuilding book - it is a training partner!

MUSCLES IN MINUTES© -- Mike published this book in year 2000. No, this is not Heavy Duty III. Entitled "MUSCLES IN MINUTES", this book serves perfectly as a primer on the subject of HIT. It will introduce those new to the topic of high-intensity training to the fundamentals of exercise science and their inter-relationships, written without all the philosophy and technicalities of Mike's previous works. It provides workout routines for the bodybuilder, athlete, and those seeking "total fitness", including a "Break-In" routine for those who are new to high-intensity training. Important for many, it contains extensive descriptions of all the recommended exercises. Nutrition and motivation are included. Yes, there is some overlapping with the HEAVY DUTY books, however, for the well-schooled HIT advocate, it does contain some NEW facts and information about HEAVY DUTY™ High Intensity Training, as the truly ideal means of building strength, size and overall fitness. "MUSCLES IN MINUTES" will prove helpful as quick and easy reference material, also for the HIT expert. Book cover photo is a favorite photo of many Mentzer Fans, 46 pages in 8 ½ X 11 with no photos. $19.95 -- ** Special Save $5 ** -- Now Only $14.95 -- Add To Cart
