There are as many ways to train as you can count. Use a variety for max gains. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2005/02/11, 07:36 PM LOL....just saw this post again. For a quick answer, HIT in its own right is a good program. But as a total training scheme it is not. Things need to be varied. There are different muscle fibers, there are different angles to hit the muscles from, etc. No one rep scheme can do this. It takes multiple sets with multiple reps to accomplish this. Remeber, Mike Mentzer had already acheived his physique when he came up with this. I remember him well. Quick answer, and in the end the choice is yours. But do not rely on this one type of training to build the physique you desire, experience is a good teacher. :big_smile: -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
