Mike Mentzer was a great bodybuilder, as was his brother. What he advocated obviously worked for him. I believe he advocated 1 heavy set to failure, and that is it. But, it depends on your muscle fiber distribution. The majority of us do not have this, we have a more even distribution, so it takes a rep range of 9-12 in most cases to produce hypertrophy. Experiment with it and see, you may be one of the lucky ones.

As far as genetics go, the skies the limit. You are limited only by your mental perception of it.

Mike Mentzer also did more roids than anyone else in his time.
