What Is High Intensity Training?
High Intensity Training, also known as HIT, was developed by Arthur Jones, the inventor of Nautilus workout equipment, and was made popular by bodybuilders such as Casey Viator, Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates.
Unlike traditional high volume bodybuilding programs that require long, low intensity, daily workouts, HIT training principles focus on performing short, infrequent but very intense workouts.
When doing a HIT workout, you take all your exercise sets to the point of momentary muscular failure, in order to maximize the muscle fiber recruitment, doing 1 set for each exercise and no more than 1 to 3 exercises for each body part and then allowing enough time for recovery and growth to take place before working that muscle group again.
If you workout too long and/or too often it quikly leads to overtraining and you won't gain muscle size and strength, you may even get smaller and weaker and can even get sick or injured.
Individual genetic factors such as exercise tolerance and recovery ability will determine how many sets exercises each body part, how many sets per workout and how often to train.
Advocates of High Intensity Training believe that it is the best, most efficient method for building strength and muscle mass.
