MENTZER TRUE The Original Heavy Duty Training & Nutrition System As Trained by Markus Reinhardt, Student of Mike Mentzer
This is not another “Mentzer-inspired” routine.
This is the original Heavy Duty training and nutrition system, written by Markus Reinhardt, a direct student of Mike Mentzer.
No modern rewrites.
No internet versions.
No guesswork.
This program documents exactly how the system was structured, executed, and recovered from — including training splits, true supersets, intensity application, rest periods, CNS recovery, and nutrition principles as they were actually practiced.
WHAT’S INSIDE
✔ The complete Heavy Duty philosophy explained clearly
✔ Why one all-out set works when done correctly
✔ How recovery actually drives growth
✔ The full 3-workout training cycle:
- Chest & Back
- Legs
- Shoulders & Arms
✔ Exact exercise order, rep ranges, and execution rules
✔ True supersets (no rest, no shortcuts)
✔ CNS-based recovery timing
✔ Nutrition principles that support growth and recovery
✔ Who this system is for — and who it is not
This is a low-volume, high-precision system designed for people who care about progress, not exhaustion.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This program is for lifters who:
- Are tired of training more and gaining less
- Want strength and size without constant burnout
- Understand that recovery is part of training
- Want the system as it was actually practiced
This is not for:
- High-volume addicts
- Daily gym grinders
- Anyone unwilling to rest
WHY THIS PROGRAM IS DIFFERENT
There are only two legitimate sources of authentic Mentzer methodology:
- John Little (official archivist)
- Markus Reinhardt (direct trainee)
Everything else online is partial, altered, or misunderstood.
This book exists to correct that.
