Alright, quick heads-up to my Heavy Duty Nation crew.
I don’t do this often, but I’m opening the floodgates for a few hours. If you’ve been sitting on the fence about the Premium section, tonight’s a solid time to jump in. I’m temporarily unlocking Premium access for $29, and that window stays open only until 6:30 PM tonight, right before I go live. Why? Because tonight isn’t a presentation. It’s not a lecture. It’s not a replay of something you’ve already heard. It’s a live Q&A. High-Intensity Training. Intensity principles. Programming. Recovery. Nutrition as it relates to HIT. Mindset. Mistakes. Ask-me-anything style. If it’s on your mind and it relates to training with real intensity, it’s fair game. If you’ve been watching from the free side, reading posts, absorbing bits and pieces, this is your chance to step inside the room and actually ask questions in real time. No filters. No scripts. Just straight answers. How to join (takes about 30 seconds): 1. Go to Heavy Duty Nation on Skool 2. Click Join Premium 3. Lock in the $29 access before 6:30 PM tonight 4. Jump into the live Q&A when we go on That’s it. No pressure. No hype. Just opening the door for those who’ve been thinking about it and want to be part of the conversation tonight. If you’re in, I’ll see you live. If not, all good, the gate closes when the session starts. Let’s talk intensity. Markus

Alright, quick heads-up to my Heavy Duty Nation crew.
Should Markus add a TRT/PED topic
I was wondering about this. many guys on heavy duty nation are older and may use TRT I think it would be useful to have a topic about this and many also use peds maybe we could look at all this with the HIT mindset what do you think @Markus Reinhardt

I competed and advocate drug free High Intensity Training buddy. Wrong guy to ask about PEDS. I seriously could not comment on it with any advice. However, now that I am 55, I am going to look into TRT for myself . They very unlikely are going to make a huge impact on muscle gains however. This is more longevity stuff which I for sure will share my thoughts on more in detail as soon as I get on it.

@Patrick Thimmig I am going to find a good doctor/clinic out here and will report back with results guys! - first blood panel test of course
Rest
A question came up by someone. He asked why do I not take longer breaks (2-5 min) in order to have more strength in my one working set in order to get more reps! How do I respond to him? @Markus Reinhardt

It depends on what rest you mean. In a superset, there’s no rest ... resting kills the whole pre-exhaust purpose..lol. Between straight exercises, longer rest may get you more reps, but it lowers overall intensity and the adaptive stimulus. Keep rest minimal — just enough to recover breathing, not strength.

@Alexandro The Great I will film a video about it. Tell ur friend to join HDN
Quick check-in.
I’m noticing more activity in here lately. Better questions. Smarter conversations. Less noise. That doesn’t happen by accident. Before I drop the next upgrades, I want to hear from you directly: What’s the one thing you’re struggling with most in your training right now? Recovery Frequency Intensity Progress stalling Mindset Or something else entirely No long explanations needed. Just be honest. I’m reading everything—and this will shape what comes next in Heavy Duty Nation. Markus
Quick check-in.

@Tristan Rail No. Just increase the intensity !
Merry Christmas to all of you 🎄
Alright HDN family I just shared that picture of me and Mike Mentzer here in Las Vegas and before anyone jumps in yes just kidding. It is AI. No alternate timeline. No resurrection tour. And let’s be real Mike would have absolutely hated this city. The noise the nonsense the circus. He would have torn Vegas apart in about thirty seconds flat which honestly makes the whole thing even funnier. All jokes aside the meaning behind it is real. The mindset the standards the refusal to follow garbage thinking in training and in life. That part is very real and that is what HDN is built on. I want to genuinely thank every one of you for backing this project. Not just clicking buttons or watching clips but actually supporting what I am building here. That does not go unnoticed. Enjoy today. Relax. Laugh. Be with your people. Then we get back to work. Because 2026 is going to be fucking huge. Much respect Markus
Merry Christmas to all of you 🎄
