This sort of looks like a HIT type workout. I am guessing that you are lifting as heavy as possible for the target rep range. This is an iffy workout without knowing your recovery ability and/or diet. I suppose you could give this a shot for about 4 to 5 weeks and see how your body reacts to this type of workout. It looks like a lot of people could possibly overtrain and get burned out or injured, so, as I said, just be careful and good luck.

Sounds like something I've heard called "superslow weight lifting". Do you do the reps really slow? I think the creator says you don't need to do any cardio if you do his Superslow method. Don't know much else, just heard about somewhere online.

Kind of like the thing Mike Mentzer advocated, and as Dahayz says, a HIT workout. If you have the right muscle fiber distribution, this may work for you. If not, then it probably won't. Experiment, try it. A few weeks on it will let you know. Learning your body in this fashion will teach you the correct workout protcol for you. Training is by all means not a one size fits all. The same workout some guy next to you is doing and making great gains, may not work at all for you. Good luck with it. Keep us posted.
