'Four years ago, when Oprah managed to get down to a trim and fit 160 pounds, she thought she'd hit on a foolproof formula for permanent weight loss. ' since when is 160lbs trim and fit for a female? epic low standards. Now she's over 200lbs.  fail |

HIT supporters are like religious people - brainwashed. You have your guru or god. Cool. You want facts... go with science... you train more you body adapts & you get more conditioned. You train less you get de-conditioned.
Too bad there is a law of diminishing returns that applies to bodybuilding. It's easy to stagnate in training that way. If you are using the same weight and doing the same reps every week, you're not improving, no matter how many sets. |

HIT vs volume is just a stupid debate. People will differ depending upon muscle mass/time training/strength but the body only needs a certain amount of exercises to break down the muscle so it can the recover and overcompensate (within a said time). Any more just means it will take you longer to recover and most people will train the muscle again before that recovery happening.
Mentzer helped by making people do less than Arnolds insane training way (or at least the way Weider said he trained), but he got carried away with too little needed in the end.
Didn't Polquin say he trained a sprinter who made Tom Platz's legs look skinny? ok....
HIT isn't just doing less volume, but doing much slower reps as well. Ever do a set to failure with reps lasting 6-8 seconds? It is Intense. |
