High Intensity Training (HIT)

High Intensity Training was a radical shift from the fashionable volume training of the 60’s and 70’s. Arthur Jones believes in limited sets, training to muscular failure and working the body as a single unit, rather than the split routines that were preferred at the time.

HIT works on the theory that if the muscles are pushed to complete failure they are more likely to grow in order to meet the demands placed upon it for next time. The infrequent workouts allow for full recovery between sessions.
The method has undoubted credentials and has been used for many years as it is very successful. The only problem with the method is that the almost brutal intensity required in order to be successful is not always suitable for people with past medical problems.
