What actually triggers muscle growth? In this rare 1998 seminar , Mike Mentzer breaks down one of the most misunderstood concepts in bodybuilding — the true stimulus behind muscle hypertrophy. With his signature intensity and razor-sharp logic, Mentzer dismantles the myth that "more volume equals more muscle" and leads you step by step through a scientific and philosophical investigation into the real source of growth: intensity. This is not just another training tip — it's a shift in perspective that could completely transform your results in the gym.
Whether you're new to high-intensity training or a longtime student of Mentzer’s Heavy Duty system, this segment will give you crystal-clear insight into why working to failure is essential, and where the actual growth signal is triggered. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overtrained, or confused by conflicting advice, this video is your wake-up call. Watch to the end and find out where the “breakover point” lies — and why crossing it is the only way to grow.
