Love Mentzer's whole outlook, guy was way ahead of his time, its a shame he wasn't able to articulate it more widely I guess

Training this morni.g went as follows :

10 min warmup ( dynamic stretches)

Shoulder Press - 1 set 11@68kg
Lateral Raises - 1 set 12@ 17.5kg
Barbell Curls - 1 set 12 @ 50kg
Overhead Tricep Ext - 1 set 14@40kg

10 min warm down ( cable laterals 5kg 1x25 each arm )

Up in weight and reps on all exercises except lateral raises compared to last shoulder , bi/tri session. However I feel although I did less reps at the same weight with the lateral raises, I had much better form , control and at a slower tempo, more time under tension, better all around, so I'm ok with that. Shoulder press was the biggest jump compared to last session

Better form + slower tempo better than extra reps any day.

Totally agree . His ideas on training were next level, even if they never reached mainstream audiences like they deserved.
