PHONE CONSULTATIONS

Ever since the release of John's revolutionary Max Contraction Training Principles in Ironman magazine, we have been deluged with questions here at Max Contraction On-Line from people who wanted to know more about John's unique training method, and who wanted to learn more about his work with the late Mike Mentzer and Mike's final formulation of the theory of high intensity training.  We are therefore pleased to announce that through an exclusive arrangement with Mentzer-Sharkey Enterprises John Little will be available on an appointment-only basis for private phone consultations with those who are either having trouble with their present training or who are looking to better understand either John's Max Contraction or Mike Mentzer's Heavy Duty Training System.

MAX CONTRACTION:

This is your chance to learn directly from the creator of the Max Contraction Training System. John Little will answer your questions about the Max Contraction System, plus John will personally design a routine and diet tailored to your specific bodybuilding goals. In addition, you will learn:

• How MAXimum Muscle Growth is REALLY stimulated.

• How to structure your workouts year-round for continuous gains.

• How to double your strength.

• Why you don't need repetitions.

• Why you don't need supplements.

• Why you don't need sets.

• The best specialization routines and exercises to pack inches of muscle on your arms, chest, back, shoulders and legs and how to chisel your abdominal muscles in the shortest time possible!

HEAVY DUTY:

John will explain the pioneering work of former Mr. Universe winner, Mike Mentzer, perhaps the greatest bodybuilder of all time. John will explain:

• The fundamental principles of exercise science so that you may finally clear the confusion - and start thinking logically and effectively about bodybuilding.

• How to dial up the intensity meter to make your workouts (and muscular gains) continuous.

• The distinction between aerobic training principles and anaerobic, bodybuilding training principles. And why you can't mix the two -- or your bodybuilding workout degenerates into an endurance contest.

• Why there can be only one valid, correct, true theory of productive bodybuilding exercise. And why it is the theory of high-intensity training.

• That the big picture in bodybuilding is comprised of two elements of equal value - 50-50, not 60-40, or 70-30. Fifty percent is the workout itself, and the rest period between workouts is literally just as important - 50%.

• The actual relationship between exercise and nutrition.

AND MUCH, MUCH, MORE!

"In the '80s Mike and Ray Mentzer became outspoken disciples of Arthur Jones, which made Mike's 'Heavy Duty' column a perfect fit for IRONMAN. Mike wrote for this publication in the '80s and '90s. His work was always popular and usually controversial, but then came his untimely passing on June 10, 2001, along with Ray's only a few days later. That double tragedy left a considerable void in the world of Heavy Duty training, but John Little, a philosophical descendant of the Mentzers and Arthur Jones, has come forward to fill that void and continue Heavy Duty in the pages of IRONMAN. Little had a 20-plus-year friendship with Mike, and he's the co-author of Mike's last book, High Intensity Training The Mike Mentzer Way (Contemporary Books, Chicago). John's own Power Factor Training…left an indelible high-intensity mark on bodybuilders and bodybuilding history, and now John brings his unique perspective to the philosophy and execution of Heavy Duty training. I'm proud and excited that John has chosen IRONMAN in which to continue the Mentzer legacy, and I'm sure Mike would approve wholeheartedly. As Mike wrote in the preface to Power Factor Training, 'John has exerted considerable effort over a period of time studying the actual science of productive bodybuilding exercise, i.e., he has acquired a firm intellectual understanding of the theory of high-intensity training.' He'll prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt in the months to come. Welcome aboard, John."
