The realm of bodybuilding only keeps expanding and with the advent of experiments and new-age training, the sport has emerged into a vast array of philosophies for training.

The video was recently shared by a YouTube page @aegfitness8047. In the video, he was seen challenging the training method of Mike Mentzer. He begins the video, by saying, “How often do you need a rest week? How often are you taking significant periods off of the gym? That’s gonna most certainly affect your progress.”

Taking to the fact that Mike Mentzer suggests that a workout works effectively if you train one day a week and rest for the next four days, Sulek states that the key to having a good workout is consistency. He adds, “Let’s say you do lift, maybe twice a week and you get the craziest workout ever. But then you don’t go in the rest of the days.”
