I've come to realize that HIT (High Intensity
Training) has some real flaws in many of it's basic
concepts (as far a building muscle is concerned). By
extension, anything derived from these basic concepts
is flawed.
I was once a firm believer in HIT ideas
until I began to research the research (The good that
is! Quite a bit is biased)! And to look over the data
from years of workouts and try to pinpoint where
actual growth occurred and why. It took me a while to
build a frame of reference for what I was reading and
to get a handle on the bigger picture. Not that I've
arrived by any means, but looking at the 'mechanics'
of hypertrophy on a 'microscopic' level, and seeing
what actually causes it to happen, sheds a great deal
of light on the subject.
