Mike had tried countless variations of training over his career as a bodybuilder. However, by far the most effective for him was power-bodybuilding. With this training style, Mike did four days of heavy training, followed by four days of light exercises. On lighter days, Mike trained with more reps and short rest between sets to raise his growth hormone levels.
These light sessions also enabled Mike to recover from his heavy training days and prevent muscle wasting.
Along with power-bodybuilding, Mike also loved doing quick and intense workouts. But while he enjoyed lifting heavy, Mike never let the weights affect his form. I like to pull towards my lower-lat area instead. He starts the session with a couple of sets of light lat pulldowns, which warms up his muscles.

He says this led to over-training symptoms such as muscle loss. But then, Mike changed his approach.
He started training two days in a row before taking a day off. According to Mike, when he trained too hard, his body went into a catabolic state muscle-wasting. As he said:. Mike believes that nowadays, bodybuilders focus too much on protein.
He says, 1g of protein per pound of body weight is more than enough to build muscle. He also says that far too many people avoid carbs, which he believes is not healthy for the body.
