I read The Mike Mentzer Way probably 10-15 years ago. It had a big impact on my training at the time and his "consolidated routine" linked up well with the concepts I was learning from McGuff and Darden etc. I think @Jeremy Amin said it really well on the coffee hour... Mike's central idea about critical thinking and essentially, "thinking for yourself" and not appealing to authority or social influence, was hugely impactful on me. This is portrayed really well in American Odysseus. Mike was so honest and always seeking the truth. He just does not budge. I love that. Mike also influenced me a lot via John Little, the perfect conduit. John came on the podcast at the perfect time. He shares Mentzer's teachings, as well as, numerous other philosophical influences like Ayn Rand, Bruce Lee, Will Durant, Leonard Peikoff, etc, to help me live better. Here's an early podcast with John that literally changed my life: https://youtu.be/BaHFQaS0OFc?si=LlBvf_rEbONceqxx Check this out as well: Mike Mentzer: American Odysseus — John Little on the New Book and Defending Mike’s Life and Legacy: https://youtu.be/gT56Fw6Gh_M?si=oGOjEWoO0lzytBHq

@Sean Bowring thanks for sharing!

Any luck @Rochelle Collinwood ? I don't have FB so can't see.

Nice work Jeremy. You've definitely found an ideal niche for you! Keep us posted.

Insight summary from HIB Pro: A recent discussion inside HIB highlighted some common themes from coaches who have worked with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) clients: • Most coaches reported positive experiences and did not significantly alter their training approach solely because of T1D. • Several coaches noted that their clients were already highly knowledgeable about managing their condition, medications, nutrition, and glucose monitoring. • One coach successfully trained a T1D client using full-body workouts (8–12 exercises to failure) without issues, provided the client was well-fuelled beforehand and monitored themselves appropriately. • Consistency appears important. Avoiding sudden, dramatic changes in workout structure may make it easier for clients to understand how training affects their glucose levels and adjust accordingly. • As clients become stronger and more proficient, the metabolic demands of training may increase. Coaches should be aware that a client’s response to training could evolve over time. • A gradual, progressive approach was recommended, particularly with new clients. Starting conservatively makes it easier to monitor responses and make informed adjustments. • Several coaches emphasised that glucose management remains the client’s responsibility, while the coach’s role is to deliver safe, progressive, and well-monitored training. The overall consensus: T1D clients can often train much like any other client, provided training progresses sensibly and the client actively manages their condition.
