Dorian Yates transitioned from mid-volume pump training to high-intensity, low-volume methods influenced by Mike Mentzer. Learn how this approach helped him dominate six Mr. Olympia titles—and how it can benefit your training.

Ken Hutchins' SuperSlow training emphasized 10-second concentric and eccentric reps to maximize control, minimize injury risk, and stimulate hypertrophy without heavy loads. This method became a defining moment in low-volume training history.

Mike Mentzer took Arthur Jones’ high-intensity training concepts and pushed them to the extreme with his Heavy Duty system. Learn how Mentzer’s one-set-to-failure philosophy changed bodybuilding, his partnership with brother Ray, and why his training legacy lives on.

Ellington Darden expanded high-intensity training with innovative tempo techniques like 30-10-30 and 30-30-30. Find out how his ideas shaped modern strength training.

Arthur Jones pioneered high-intensity training and created Nautilus machines that changed the world of strength training forever. Here’s his story.

Long before Arthur Jones, Gustav Zander laid the foundation for low volume training with mechanotherapy machines in the 1800s. Here’s why his work still matters.

Kelso Shrugs offer a controlled, effective way to train your upper back and traps. See why this underrated movement belongs in every lifter’s routine.
