SORRY, THIS BOOK HAS SOLD OUT. COPYRIGHTS REMAIN AS THE SOLE PROPERTY OF MENTZER-SHARKEY ENTERPRISES, INC. HEAVY DUTY© I -- The book that started a revolution! A "must have" book for those who want to collect all of Mike Mentzer's works and follow the evolution of his teaching throughout the years. 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! Mike reveals the role of genetics in bodybuilding, psychological and motivational factors, unique dietary considerations, high-intensity training principles, training to failure, and places bodybuilding into a completely unique perspective. Responding to the public demand for this revolutionary book, Mentzer-Sharkey Enterprises, Inc. has made it available once again to Mike's fans and students, and it may very well be its final print run.

SORRY, THIS BOOK HAS SOLD OUT. COPYRIGHTS REMAIN AS THE SOLE PROPERTY OF MENTZER-SHARKEY ENTERPRISES, INC. HEAVY DUTY II: Mind and Body© -- Mike Mentzer's "magnum opus", his final evolution of the theory of High-Intensity Training. New and groundbreaking insights into recovery ability, higher intensity and shorter workouts, consolidated training, when to use advanced principles, such as, forced reps and negatives to maximum effect; in addition, insights into corruption in bodybuilding, and the power of human reason to discern truth from falsehood. 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! Nor is it a book you will read once and put it on the shelf; each time you read it, you will learn even more than you had hoped to learn. Published in 1996 - 163 pages in 5 3/4" x 8 1/2" - including photos.

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 ˝ X 11 with no photos. $19.95

UPDATED NOTICE June 15, 2017 THIS ITEM IS NOT AVAILABLE. We apologize for not finishing the Revised Heavy Duty Journal. Due to unexpected circumstances with the loss of several loved ones, Joanne Sharkey has been unable to devote the necessary time to complete this project in a manner that Mike would expect. It would be appreciated if you did not send emails asking what the release date will be. When (and if) it is ready to go to print, a new notice will be posted here. Thank you very much for your patience and continued interest! HEAVY DUTY Journal© -- A must for all serious bodybuilders and athletes! NOTE: Mike Mentzer did NOT want to reprint this original version because he said it was outdated and it needed to be updated. This original version is not in stock. This is not a "working" training journal, it is power-packed with even more invaluable teaching from Mike, as he delves into topics never before explored in bodybuilding: The scientific application of stress physiology, cultivating metabolic momentum, understanding and applying the body's natural patterns of flux and change in order to peak for a contest. Includes, rest pause training (a super high-intensity technique that allowed Mike to gain 14 pounds of pure muscle in 9 weeks - at an already advanced level of muscle, mass and strength!), and the latest in scientific bodybuilding are just a few of the subjects brought to you in this one of a kind journal book. Includes awesome photos of Mike Mentzer!

We are now out of stock on these vintage Black & White photos of 3 of Mike's classic poses, and the decision has been made not to reproduce more of these same shots. In the original write up, it was stated that "The photos in this series are destined to become collectors' items!" The main reason is that they were never circulated before and also they marked a specific event. They were photographed by Garry Bartlett, International Bodybuilding Photo Journalist. Captured on film in the spring of 1980 in Quebec, Canada where Mike attended a special guest-posing exhibition, during an era when Mike dominated the bodybuilding scene! No other bodybuilder captured the essence of pure muscle and strength as Mike Mentzer.
