High Frequency HIT?
What does everyone think of the High Frequency HIT article?
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/shannon9.htm
Do you think it's to little training to see any gains? or do you think if the principles are applied correctly (like going to faliure every set) then the gains will be as much as the standard HIT training programme?

This article befuddles me. In a way I think a higher frequancy hit workout would attract alot more naysayers to the program, however I don't know if this particular program offers up quite enough rest time.

Well I like it since it's low volume. But as lats said it doesn't give alot of rest time. Not terrible, but not great. If you want you can give it a try.

My routine is very similar. I do 2-4 sets per bodypart, but I work out 3-5 days a week.
Think you're skinny? Bull****. Try

Bench-145lbs.
Squat-220lbs.
Deadlift-285lbs.

Re: High Frequency HIT?
Mentzer trained like this early in his HD HIT days . I think at the time He was still with Arthur Jones and had not yet started using longer rest periods . Later on as He developed His training methods He began to use less negatives in His routines and began to train less frequently .Originally posted by John19

I did some of the stuff in the article in the early 80's after attending a Mentzer seminar , It was a killer you could not do that type of training very long without "roids as We used to call them ."The greatest danger to most of us is not that we aim too high and miss it but that we aim too low and reach it"

SkinnyEcto02 that's a hell of deadlift for 115lbs pounds. Way to go! I know some 200lbers that could not do that.
Did I miss something in this article or is he working each muscle once a week more or less (but he seems to work lats twice because he does chins Mon, pullovers Fri). In my routine I work out 3 days a week, some times a little less, but only work each muscle group once a week.The key to muscular growth is logic, sound science, and hard work.
I'm a recovering ectomorph. 27, 5'8", 175. Have trained off and on for years but only seriously since mid-April 2002.
