donny you are absolutely correct, i was fallowed it blindly for a few years. my strength went up alot, but
i lost all cuts i had and became lazy. i think the originall heavy duty was effective, but they whole trying to go up in strength every single
workout, eventually leads to burnout mentally and the risk for injury is high. this is coming from someone that believe in h.i.t 100%
i got in my best shape doing high sets and reps like arnold well not that many sets. but still doing say 12 per body part . training 5 to 6 days a week.
and you are right about the injuries i for one had them happen , took a long time to recover from, my shoulder is still fucked up i cant do any front presses at all.
the bicep one was the worst , couldnt do anything for a year
