This was one of Mike Mentzer’s signature poses, one leg out in front to highlight the sartorius, the rope-like muscle running down his thigh.
Some believe he developed the pose when he was Clog dancing to pick up chicks in the off-season…
Okay, that’s probably not Mike. Hard to tell because the photographer was the same one who took the famous shot of Big Foot…
So how did Mike get those massive, detailed legs? It wasn’t from frequent hoedowns, but from short, high-intensity training. One of his favorite quad routines was this…
Leg extensions supersetted with leg presses
Rest
Barbell squats
He performed one round of that torture, all sets to failure or beyond with forced reps.
We believe the Mentzer-inspired Pre-Ex STX workout in OMYM (Chapter 9, page 68) is more efficient and less damaging (remember, Mike was on anabolic steroids, which significantly increases your recovery ability).
In that workout as well as the Base STX workout, you’ll see precise, efficient hypertrophy stimulation that embraces the latest research. It’s why those workouts are only 35-minutes three days a week, alternating upper-body and lower-body sessions. Pretty sure that workout duration would get a thumbs-up from Mike…
Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.
