I like Steve Maxwell stuff. But that video recently posted on AMM was the gayest thing ever! Bruv told me it reminded him of how a lot of gay porn films start. yeah and bruv would know  was that the one where Maxwell and the podcast host were both in their pants in his hotel room? That was pretty weird, apparently, that video caused around 4.5 boners on another forum  |

1977 or 1978, I went to my first Nautilus gym and trained one set failure -- something that violated everything I'd read up to that point. When I had some some money and time after college, I took a few days of leave and went to DeLand, Florida, while on leave and while I never met Arthur Jones, one of their staff put me through a truly brutal session and repeated the workout two days later before flying back. One set to failure each time.Another example was with Mike Mentzer: after warming up, he put me on a pec dec and worked that to "failure", defined as when I could not move the weight in good form any further. Target eight reps. We rushed to an incline bench pressing machine, target eight reps. A few seconds to catch my breath, one set of lateral raises to failure -- eight reps. A few seconds to catch my breath and weighted triceps dips to failure. And that was it for a few days and then it was back (deadlifts and pulldowns) and one set of EZ barbell curls. Done. Following the HD protocol for a few months and my bench had gone from 325 x 2 to 345 x 1. Fast forward to the 90s, did some phone coaching with Mentzer. My bench was still creeping up, but, following his recommendations and also implementing some static contraction training (with Mentzer's blessings) hit my PRs (both good and bad form). And of course, the SuperSlow one set example. The protocol works like a champ, but, it is a tough one to stick with. Probably one of the biggest surprises? I was in Tulsa, OK, at the downtown YMCA and there was this huge monstrosity sitting in the middle of the floor downstairs where you walk into the weight room. It looked similar to the legendary "Big Blue" pullover. I asked what it was and I was taken to their director and he said 'what do you think it is'...I said a pullover machine. He said you know who Arthur Jones is? (yessir!) That is one of his very first pullover machines ...piece of history but we're not sure what to do with it...I did a Nautilus thing once, and we were required to allow 72 hours between workouts. Did you say,"Give it to me!" I don't find One Set to failure is brutal (not super slow). I'm simply doing one set of as many reps possible in one set. It works well with bands because when you hit that point, you absolutely cannot do one more rep. It's like hitting a road block. |

The original Nautilus protocols were M/W/F...even Casey Viator was being trained in this fashion during the Colorado Experiment. Jones later realized people were getting overtrained/burned out and started reducing the number of days and number of exercises, realizing better results.
One set, as taught by the HIT instructors/trainers at Nautilus, Mike Menzter or at the SS gym, was/is brutal because you're going balls-to-the-wall trying to optimize everything in that single set. Leg presses had my whole body shaking and I could barely stand some times and had to be assisted, others was when I about got sick. I've shared where, with the SS workouts the trainer/gym owner had to practically pull me off of the last machine I was so wasted after nearly every work out.
It really is amazing to see the weight still moving forward while you arms or legs are quivering like crazy and the instructor's "going you've got at least one more rep in you". HUH??? But, you get that next rep and start into another when things just won't go under normal form...so you hold for a count of 10 and then slooooowly lower the weight.
Q&A
Now, was or is that healthy? I honestly can't answer but most likely not.
Was it productive? Yep, as reported.
Was it fun? OMG, no. It sucked. One friend, "Big Ray", screamed so loud when he'd done his last rep on the leg press machine at the SS gym the people on the other side of the wall came over to see if someone had been stabbed or worse.
What worked best? Either Mentzer or SS. I was probably using wayyy too much weight with Mentzer but the results (emphasis for me) were there.

Yes that's the video I was referring to.
A lot of Mike's HIT videos used to be on YouTube. I just used to dread HIT workouts so much.

I can honestly state that I did not watch the Steve Maxwell video.
1. I have no interest in bodyweight workouts.
2. I have no interest in guys wearing swimming trunks.
3. You are all a bunch of homos.
