High intensity Training (HIT)
I would like to know what everyone's opinion is on HIT, and if it produced any strength or size gains for anyone here?
Also, how far exactly do those of you HIT is working for go beyond failure? I personally had tried an HIT routine, similar to Mike Mentzers, and I would complete "one" working set to failure per exercise. Accentuating the negative on every rep, I would do a set to failure, followed by a drop set, a rest pause, and then another drop set, All obviously taken to failure.
I tried this program for about a month and I felt as though I was losing size. I know this was probably not the case, but the feeling of "this is doing something" was just not there, and I felt like I was wasting my time so i reverted back to what I know works for myself. Good ol' high volume.
Cheers

mymymymyHi Rowe for me this is the only way you should be doing your workouts. I have never seen much in terms of results using the other methods. Pro bodybuilders are genetically gifted human beings who counteract the weider theory of more is better aka over training through using nightmarish quantity's of steroids. If you want to actually see some real results this is the only way. I also track everything i am the only one going into the gym with a notepad and pen. If you stick at it you will get stronger and stronger then all of a sudden you will gain huge size dosen't always happen at same time !
I've done this style program to get me thru a plateau. I think the time under tension you get with it helps stimulate and shock the muscles. Gives you a good pump too and helps your muscles get the blood flow they need to get those nutrients in them. Anything that breaks from the norm is always worth a try in my opinion. Was your diet in check during the month that you used this routine?
