Mike Mentzer x Calisthenics routine

[Deleted member 31459]

Gonna try and combine Mike Mentzer’s philosophy with calisthenics, obv it’s impossible to go for intensity with bodyweight training so I’ll just go to failure

He was a huge advocate of total mechanical failure btw, so I’m thinking that in this case for example when I do pull-ups I’ll do them to failure with good form then I’ll continue halfassing them until I can’t grab the bar anymore

And then instead of doing my routine daily I’ll do it once every 2-3 days or so and adjust according to my recovery time

I might or might not post results cuz I am on a cut atm but it might help me push more reps

You are spamming calisthenics threads.
Also what is with the impossible to reach intensity with bodyweight training bullshit ?

one set hit =/= one set high volume

Mentzer did 5 warmup sets leading to his top set.

Tried it, it’s shit, don’t do it.

Tbh it's very hard to gain muscles with calisthenics since it's harder to progressive overload, not impossible tho and it sounds dumb to do Mike Mentzer routine in calisthenics, u will never hit true failure and then go past it, more volume is better for calisthenics

I'm doing it and it's working.
