I won’t be able to do the chat tonight — not feeling so great and don’t want to show up half-charged. We’ll postpone and I’m looking at tomorrow at 7:00 PM as the new time.I’ll confirm that later tonight once I see how I’m feeling. Appreciate your understanding. Quality over showing up just to show up. — Markus

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
