Big Time H.I.T.
Train at a high level of intensity with the minimum amount of stimulation needed to yield an adaptive response, and then give the muscle adequate rest and nutrients. The following week increase the weight or repetitions. Done. Boom. That’s it. Okay, okay, maybe it’s not THAT simple. But in the grand scheme of it all, that IS the bottom line. You see, many people make strength training out to be much more complex than it really is. These are tips to change your life.
That is the down fall of many trainers and that is the thing that keeps people from getting the results that they and making the progress that they need to be making to keep up the motivwtion levels. You see haow it all falls into the same thing.
What if I told you that you could get bigger and stronger than you’ve ever been by training twice per week for 45 minutes? Most likely the uninformed sceptics would call me a liar, the multi-setters would stop reading, and the easy-way-out slackers would stare wide eyed with an unjustified gleam of hope that building muscle IS easy after all. That is not the case that is for sure.
HIT is based around infrequent workouts done at a high level of intensity, focusing on compound movements and progression. However, the type of training that I am talking about is “traditional” HIT which utilizes full body workouts done twice per week. These are great workouts to break out of a plateau.
This might not seem like it is lot and not enough but if you are doing it the right way it is for sure. The name of the game is intensity.
