And we discussed training and so, okay, what are you doing?
You know, I'm warming up, whatever it takes, a couple of sets.
I'm doing a set to failure and then I'm resting two or three minutes, dropping it down 10%, maybe I'm going to failure again.
So I'm hitting that nail in twice just to make sure it's in there.
So Mike said, why don't you try cutting back?
to one set to failure.
So I started that around 91, 92.
And I feel like I got another level of growth from that.
So people say, oh, Dorian doesn't do HIT.
I don't know.
what category we want to put it in.
But it's probably somewhere between conventional bodybuilding and the extreme of HIT that Mike Mensah was doing and Arthur Jones, which would be perfect for the average person.
I mean, Arthur Jones was doing like a whole body workout a couple of times a week.
That was his initial recommendation.
And I agree for the average person, that's great because you want to build a certain level of muscle mass for your health.
but I was a competitive bodybuilder.
So you've got to be concerned with a little bit like, you know, side delts, rear delts.
Average person could do one shoulder exercise, that would be enough.
So you need to do a little bit more as a competitive bodybuilder.
So somebody came up with the moniker of blood and guts.
