Mike Mentzer was a genius

Here's is the BOTTOM line....

Despite 50 years of the theory, HIT theory has failed to produce the promised results. HIT was tried by almost every gym rat in the 70s-80s because, lets face it, who doesn't want the same or better results with less time in the gym? Only problem is..it didn't work well for people.

Look at how the modern bodybuilders who are winning contests train...is it like HIT? or...higher volume? HVT only exists as an ex post facto..meaning, no ones goal is to train "high volume". That is simply what the optimal routine looks like for most people after the routine is planned out. I don't know one person who says "I'm going to do high volume just because..."

Effective routines just happen to look like "HVT" when all is said and done. Volume rules.

methzer at 49 years old. Fat, spaced out, talking like a stroke victim, can barely move, looks like shit.

Vince Taylor at 50 entering the masters at the Olympia looking fantastic. Just goes to show. methzer, like his HIT gimmick, was a dismal failure.

I would describe Hunter Lebrada's training as HIT.

Nope. Muliple sets. High frequency. Multiply exercises. Nothing like hit.

The real methzer, out of shape fat bastard. Gross.

That video was taken during Ronnie’s reign. They had been retired roughly 20 years at that point.

If Taylor trained (s)HIT he would have been out of bodybuilding from injury in the early 90's.

Hit-tites

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hittites

The Hittites (/ˈhɪtaɪts/) were an Anatolian Indo-European people who formed one of the first major civilizations of Bronze Age West Asia. Possibly originating from beyond the Black Sea,[2] they settled in modern day Turkey in the early 2nd millennium BC. The Hittites formed a series of polities in north-central Anatolia, including the kingdom of Kussara (before 1750 BC), the Kanesh or Nesha kingdom (c. 1750–1650 BC), and an empire centered on Hattusa (around 1650 BC).[3][4] Known in modern times as the Hittite Empire, it reached its height during the mid-14th century BC under Šuppiluliuma I, when it encompassed most of Anatolia and parts of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia.
