Here's common knowledge about Mr. Mike. I think some of his thinking is correct, but some are waaay off...
Agreed throughout bodybuilding:
1.His basic premise that most bodybuilders overtrain is CORRECT!
2.His basic premise that doing less will result in better gains for MOST people is CORRECT!
3.The basic principles of muscle stressors and adaptation is CORRECT!
4.His ideas about exercise selection and execution are well thought out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disagree
5.The routines given work GREAT for many people.......for a short time, and then quit working......no explanation is ever given how to get past this.
6.His diet recommendations are past the point of belief and just DON’T work.
7.His statement that we all as humans share the same physiology and thus all require the same loading protocol is just the lamest thing I can imagine. And the sad thing is a very long time ago, I read it and believed it. Pretty stupid.
There is nothing wrong with very low volume training providing you respond to it, but the way Mike presented it, just gets one started down the path and then leaves them stranded. I knew alot of experienced trainees try this and fail.
So if that link was to work, be wary of what it says and try and keep an open mind. With everything there's fact and fiction.
