Your hate for HIT and your spin on his training speaks volumes of your bias. You must train in a really relaxed casual manner and you have to justify it by putting hard trainers down. I don't know how you can't comprehend non taxing warm ups and one set to failure. No one can do a single set to failure in most exercises without warming up the muscle.
Hit doesn't work. In 5 decades it still has a very poor success rate. Volume, with reasonable intensity, is much better. Its better for size. It's definitely better for recovery as I'm not going all out which stresses out the cns which causes burn out. The old naturals before Arnold 's era called it "training on the nerve" and knew that training like that causes burn out, fast plateaus and even injury. Beating down one's cns can make a person much more prone to colds and flues.
Going all out, especially drug free is too stressful on the body. It releases catabolic hormones into the body's system which isn't good if drug free. If enhanced then no worries, the steroids can counter act the negative effects from high stressful training but only for a short time.
Even guys like Yates and methzer didn't do this type of training for long. They only did it in spurts. Most of the time they did higher volume training. You hit guys certainly do get triggered when the facts come up about hit. I thought you guys were supposed to be "mentally strong" as methzer had preached? Not my fault you've wasted you're precious time with a faddy, inferior training method. Oh well...
