The Heavy Duty Training Foundations course is now officially complete! Anyone who completes this course will receive the Heavy Duty Nation Certificate of Completion, issued inside the course section. This is not a generic download or participation badge. It is a certification tied to completing all six modules and understanding the core Heavy Duty principles. Intensity. Recovery. Progression. Execution. Frequency. Restraint. This course was built to teach how training actually works when intensity is real. The certificate represents that understanding and serves as a personal marker of completion. This is another major addition to the Premium section of Heavy Duty Nation and one more step toward building a complete, principle based training library for serious lifters. If you are already in Premium, the course is waiting for you. If you are not, now is a good time to join. Heavy Duty Nation Premium continues to grow with structured education, not Bullshit. Respect the process. Earn the work. Protect the results. Markus

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

Got 325 for five reps on dead lift the most important part about this is I improved with one rep increase from last week

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 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
