mick , this three day system is the muts nuts , i have just started doing it this past week and i feel fucked but in a good way if you know what i mean , it is the shock to the system that my routine needed , as for the nobs who bark on about your hart attack fuck them , do’t let them grind you down mate
steve
I am 55years old. Like one day for each body part. This doesn’t seem like enough exercise for anyone body part. I am used to doing much more work. Can I do more sets, etc. I think that is what you said but I think more is needed of different kinds of things?
hi mate just tried listening to your training system,found it bit hard going,but still good info,thanks.
Ned you nob, clearly you have no idea of training basics nor indeed of commercial gym training have you. You say people should not train at home – why not? Some of the best physiques around today have started training from home – now we are not thinking of your unsuccesful attempts at training with your bullworker in your front room while your missus (or mister) looks on with pride now are we Ned?
Why would anyone want to watch telly in the gym you twat. Look, why not be a big brave mister and show us all just how big and clever you really are. Now either showmus all how good you are or stand behind your hideaway you sad bastard. Here’s an idea, why not come down to MY gym and train with me, just for an afternoon! You might enjoy it AND I can show you how to train for real! You wouldn’t enjoy it, not really.
Kenneth, trust me it is not as easy as it sounds. By adding a set each exercise believe me you would burn out pretty soon so rather than rush, take your time.
Ringo. Sorry mate I knew that it was going to be a little hard to follow but I was just adding at a request from someone. I will indeed try to clarify it a little better next time.
Hmnn, heres an idea. Maybe Ned the Nob could come on over and explain as obviously he can, but me thinks he will stay hidden
the twat!
Hi Mick,
If slating your blogs is the way too get an afternoon in the gym with you can you please phone me, I will gladly slate the fuck out of your in return for an afternoon of your knowledge and advice please. LOL
Ned if you dont like them fuck off then. There are more than enough people out here who have more than benefited from Micks experience. Shut the door behind you.
I have followed the 3-day a week system.
It is NOT for the faint hearted. I personally find it hard to go beyond 8 weeks on it.
You’ll be looking forward to the ‘light’ weeks

You had me going then – right up until you said “weight lifting belt”.
Proper form is what you need when squatting – not a belt.
Pedro
Pedro, I’ve heard that point about core-stability-versus-belt before, but I’m not convinced buddy.
Proper form is of course vitally important as with any exercise, but why not use a belt too?
I reckon anyone who squats heavy without a belt is taking unnecessary risks, which is nuts when it comes to the back.
People also say that belts make your back lazy. I disagree. Laziness makes you lazy!
If guys want to be macho and squat beltless, then they’ve only themselves to blame when something goes wrong and they wind up with back pain for the rest of their lives.
A
not bad ned, but I guarantee you could not keep up with me in my training. Want to try? You would be welcome you know.
Aw Mick!
Why delete my novice workout, when you asked me to post one in the first place?
Taking up too much space, was it?
A
Not really Andy, I deleted it because of your comment on not using a training belt AND the fact that I saw your pics posing and thought that was a danger to the public
I mean, if you are going to cut and paste something have the deceny to be clever enough.
Safety first eh Andy. Now go and sort those MEGA dosage zits out!
mick
what do mean when u say quad fashion?
thanks
Sorry 4 not getting nack sooner Jim, but where did I say that mate? I cannot find it?
I have used 3 day routine on run up to competition, i have found it hard but well worth it. I even spoke to mick and got it adapted to bring up a lagging body part. The biggest mistake is not giving it time to work.
Cheers Mick
Rob
Mick awsome info, but just one question and that is I seem to have a
struggle with my chest. do you have any suggestions.Other then that thanks for your time and help.
Kevin, Canada Saskatchewan
Mick,
I have to say when I listened to the 3 day system I was a little sceptical so I tried it. All I can say is wow.
My strength is up and I have put on 6lbs and stayed quite lean…I still do 20 mins cardio after a session. I am totally natural and have just started taking a Whey protein and am hoping for more of the same.
Seriously anyone out there try this routine..dont go too heavy and you will grow.
Thanks for your help Mick you are a star
I am proud of you Lea, not many can hack the 3 day, its IS hard
Kevin. Mail me your chest workout and I will gladly take a look mate.
mick@mickhart.com
ffs Mick – this is bollocks mate. All this abuse at Ned and then his posts get deleted. Arse – I could have done with a laugh……
Nice routine though.
As I’ve said before I love to read about Mick’s training systems
and routines. There is so much rubbish written about training,
it is good to read something from someone who really knows
what its all about.
Lets hear more about how you think we should be training to
get the best possible gains….with or without gear.
Mick you are the best.
Ron Kehoe

Hi
I just listened to the 3 day training guide. Sounds great and am just about to give it a go, do I do the same workout described for the three days?
mick you know there is a article that i have in the magazine that Jeff i forgot his name but its article about training in prison & it said they trained 3 days a week on a whole body rountine & it said they were huge guys & the guys of old did the same thing Steve Reeves was one of them too so go figure .
Mick, you are a funny mother! For a mumbling, bumbling dude, you crack me up! Thanks for the info. P.S. Fix that camera.
Mick,
thanks for ur info over the years i`ve bought ur mags whenever im in london(charring cross underground) as soon as i get my new credit card i m ordering ur 3 steroid bibles .i m 46 yr s old ex competitor in BB and martial arts . got injected with a wrong injection (some quack thought i was having a heart attack ) because ofthat was royally screwed and in the hosp ital intensive care for 2 months lost 20 kg that is 44lbs of my hard earned muscle . it took me 3 yrs to slowly come out of the rut and am back at nearly 3/4 th of my size and strength . never used a squat belt in my life even when i squatted with 440 lbs for 15 reps .
Thanks once again for ur inspiration (ur son is really very good touch wood)
Syrus
HI Mick,
Wanted to ask you a question, i just broke my toe, so for the next four weeks i will be training at home with weights that wont exceed 75 KG, are there any techniques i could use to still increase muscle size with these lighter weights any help you can give me in these regards will be greatly appreciated.
THAnKS

Mick,
I loved listening to this programme. The routine is good
but you are fucking mad….the thought of you in a tutu…..ugh!!!
You are a funny bugger…..we laugh as we learn.
Great stuff
Keep it up…yeah, that too
Ron
P.S Who is Ronnie Coleman…..just kidding
Nice routine! This is pretty close to the routine I used as a teen. I really like this for intermediates. I’ve been training for thirty years.Sounds like Mick knows his shit! Thanks,Froggie
Hey Mick.
Great workout, tried it for the last to weeks now an can really feel it,top marks!
i have dabbled with gear once b4 (somatropin) would you recommend it again? also i have a friend who’s thinking about starting on gear, i know this might sound like a novice question but does she need to take nolvadex as she doesnt really need to stop the breast tissue from developing does she? ? please help.
Cheers Mick!
Ben
Hi Mick nice one with this work out,I have been training now for about 22 years, and i have tried all sorts of training programs from low reps heavy weight, to super sets, and giant sets etc etc i have found this work out works great for me many thanks Adrian.
hello mick..how mutch hgh should i take eatch day?? and for how long time..my dealer says 6 month 4 ui a day.. is this to mutch or what??please help me..j….. danmark
I have started doing what you explained in the three day training exercise and I must say I’m very impressed.
I went through the whole set but by the second week I was really sore and I must say ”Thank You” I can feel the reps are doing it’s work.
So keep up the good work and lets go out and do some serious workout.
Cheers.
Jan
Mick, love your turn of phrase you remind me of my old training partner and partner Bill boyd,he passed away some time ago, however a great charector.the 3 day system is hard work if you can incorperate another working set,thats torture,
Hi Mick,
i really enjoy your knowledge and replies,they certainly are straight to the point!
Where is your gym as i would love to come down,i know it must be better than my fitness first rubbish i have to use.
Cheers,
Dave.
I logged onto this blog to see some information on the 3 day routine, but I see nothing but comments on it.
Mick, would you be kind enough to post the URL to the training information so I can check out what it is all about.
I am always up for new information, and up to now, it seems you’ve always got good new ideas on different and effective training methods.
My best,
Steel Force
hi mick i brought laymans guide 2 in january and im going ibiza
in august i just wonderd if can buy gear ver the counter? i ould really
appreciate your advise?
hey mick can u tell which is best front squat or back squat
I AM CURRENTLY USING THE 3 DAY FULL BODY ROUTINE AS PER THE FIRST BOOK. I THINK ITS THE MOST PRODUCTIVE ROUTINE FOR MYSELF.
just like to say 3 day training programe is excellent i have worked hard at it for a few weeks now an the gains are amazing thanks for the info. laymans guides brilliant recomend them to every one.
Hey Mick!! Some great advice there mate
Just one question. Using this system should you be going to failure on every set??
Thanks in advance.
is the 3day routine only for pple on gear? just wanted to know coz im natural and dont want to burn out too fast
Hey there Mick.
I know this system works, Did the full monty some 30 plus years ago.
I was going through some pic’s and saw myself at that time of training.
( damn looked good to)
So for the guys / girls out there who have the balls ( sorry girls) to try it .
I would recomend what Mick is telling you!!
cheers Mick for telling the truth!
Hey Mick,
thanks once again i am back to my original size , and strength, UR third book was awesome , the 3 day system really works, sometimes we forget the basics and start up on new fangled things which hinder the growth more than help.
MORE POWER TO U .
Hey Mick, I was curious to know if you still do gear yourself especially after your heart attack! I had a heart attack on my 32 birthday years ago and I am interested in purchasing your books and training with gear.
mike
hey mick i cant get the thing at the top to play so i cant hear what you have to say, i have all three laymans guide’s which one is this 3 day total training sytem from or is this a new system you have just come out with thanks for your time mick.
Dear Mick,
You tell it as it is, no stones left unturned. I admire that you are not just pro steroids, but guide newbies to maximize their own potential prior to gearing up. That is sound advise. I witnessed personally teenagers take loads of gear and grow like trees, or might i say a water bed, no muscle maturity whatsoever. Worst of all, once they stop, they become saggy like fat people who lost weight extremely quickly and the skin did not catch up shrinking. I had bought all 3 of your Layman’s guides years ago and the info stands correct till today. Power to you, God bless
Great stuff as ausual Mick.
Yeah I tried the 3 day split after christmas and it was the most productive of all the exercises and splits I tried.As someone else said here,by the end of the third day I was looking foward to the following light week and vice versa.
But heres a quistion,how long do you stay with this system,8weeks 12,24,52,? Stay doing this permenantly?I finished after 3 moths and went back to a 4 day split.Couldnt possibly follow Chris’s system in The Chris report second workout.But I’m not training for comps so…..
Hi guys,
I trained from 18 to mid 30s natural for 5 yrs then on Dbol and Sustanon had a good experience with it.
I actually bought one of your mick hart training systems back in the late 80s.
I am now 44 and not trained now for around 8yrs and feel like sh*t!.
I have developed a heart prob over the last few yrs and really need advice about training and whats safe.
Hospital advised no weights….but i dont see why it would matter..
Tried asking my doc about restarting with the weights but he was no use at all as and as soon as i mentioned steriods he came out with all the usual Bs..Bla Bla
Basically i have irregular heartbeats and am feeling really out of shape and want to get back to something like my old self ,natural first then some gear..
Whats your opinion Mick? weights and gear a prob for a guy my age with irregular beats? got to do something to get fitter.
Any advice much appreciated
Garry
