Mentzer had another way of doing a rest-pause set: 4-6 max single reps with a rest of 10-15 seconds between each rep and a 20% reduction of weight near the end in order to get that last rep or two. 🔸 Rest-Pause After reaching failure, rest for approximately 15 seconds and perform anther rep. 🔸 Negative Reps A spotter helps a lot on the positive halves of reps, and you then slowly lower the weight over approximately six seconds. 🔸 Forced Reps A spotter helps just enough to keep the weight moving for additional reps. The techniques Heavy Duty prescribed foremost were forced reps, negative reps, rest-pause, and pre-exhaust, especially pre-exhaust supersets. Failure wasn’t enough for Mentzer’s Heavy Duty system. Choose a weight so heavy that you reach absolute failure at 6-8 reps.
Whereas Arthur Jones prescribed one 20-rep set per exercise, Mentzer lowered the ideal rep-range to 6-8.
