High Intensity Business

Arjan Meijer - How To Fit HIT Around A Very Physical Job (#166)


Listen Later

Arjan Meijer is from the Netherlands and has been training with weights since the 80s. He's done it all, read it all, and heard it all. He's tried high volume traditional weight training, Dorian Yates style high intensity training, Mike Mentzer consolidation routines, and much more. Arjan competed in two natural body building competitions at age 22 and 23, coming second place in the first and sixth place in the second.

Despite being a fairly strong responder to resistance training, Arjan found Dorian Yates's approach to be too much still. This was primarily because he was, and still is, working in a very physical job in a meat factory. Not able to cope with the demands of both, in 2005, Arjan abandoned high intensity training for 3 years, losing most of his hard earned muscle mass. In 2008, Arjan discovered Mike Mentzer, returned to training, and at 47, he looks fantastic.

This episode is brought to you by ARXFit.com, ARX are the most innovative, efficient and effective all-in-one exercise machines I have ever seen. I was really impressed with my ARX workout. The intensity and adaptive resistance were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I love how the machine enables you to increase the negative load to fatigue target muscles more quickly and I love how the workouts are effortlessly quantified.
