who here has gotten and maintained a good body using HIT?

[tallgerman]

how about some pics from you tallgerman ?

did you ever get that body by science book ?

I gave up on body by science and am now doing random 4 time a week volume mix fo weights and jogging.

considering adding sprints and maybe a timed mile and some pushups along the lines of body changes when ahs to perform idea, not sure where i got that idea

Well, I guess that I got a pretty good body using a few of the principles of HIT, namely HIGH-INTENSITY and LOW VOLUME, but I did train rather frequently. After a while, I really lower the frequency to once or twice a week and even lower volume, and I basically looked like sHIT lol So I can only assume at that point in my training I was actually under-training and certainly de-conditioned. But, one question remains in this puzzle, and that it how much did my aerobic training have to do with my rather decent body? When I cut down my frequency I also cut out my aerobic training/conditioning.

 I did HIT in the late 90's and got decent results. But for me, going higher volume got me better results.

 HIT is cool if you are too busy to train too much and just want something that's not time consuming. But I don't think it's optimal.

 Really, why not just pump out a few more sets for each bodypart and blast it more???

 Now I know you're a troll.

 Nice attempt. But.... FAIL.

Coz it's not about pumping up the muscles Blackflag, it's about putting greater and greater loads upon the muscles ie PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD

Doing about three sets feels like you haven't even trained. I dont care how "heavy" and "intense" it is.

 Yeah I know that. But this can be done with higher volume than HIT.

 Also you can overload your muscles, and give them a great pump in the same workout. It's not like you must choose one or the other.

 Usually I go heavy on 2 or 3 sets, then for 2 or 3 more sets I go for pump right after.

You should try HIT, you look soft as a twinkie. And does anyone in the world have their pic taken anymore?

And you know what, after all these years, i could give two shits if people think it is ineffective.  I can pick apart any other training regime by its deficiencies whereas the only shortcomings of HIT are the potential to emotinally wear yourself out or your joints risking injury from the constant heavy assault.  My knees, for example, are fucked but i don't regret it.  Better have fucked up knees from heavy squats than from 'running' like a maniac for 20yrs.

 It's a fake pic.

 He's a gimmick/troll.

 Can't believe people fall for it.

Okay, where's your pic?  Whoever that pic belongs to, i would kick sand on him at the beach.  I'm not the biggest person anywhere but i fucking look like i workout.  

Edit: thx Blackflag, i don't keep up with joke characters and what not.  HIT works, just like any other training program that you follow to the letter and believe in it.  I personally think it's the best method for anyone that's natural and wants to get stronger, put on size.  But not everyone can hang with it.  People NEVER believe when i tell them i workout 3 days a week for 2.5hrs a week total.

Of course one can use progressive overload on hi-rep sets ie 20 reps or more, but I think that it's much better and more effective to use it on lower reps ie not more than 8 reps per set
