it is the shit!! i love that stuff.

I hope you're really going to failure..need a good spotter for forced reps. Make sure you get 1.25 pound weights so you can up the weight appropriately. I find that 5 pound increases are too much for some lifts...

Yea... I have a great program.

Once is based on your routine. The other on Mentzer. I will switch back and forth between the two each week...

Each workout every two days until i plateau and then add days off.

Is this meant in a folksy, humerous way? Or is it serious?

Nice dip strength camaro!

Has anyone made use of Dorian's style of HIT with success before?

i.e. Specific bodyparts each day, several exercises, one work set for each?

So he wouldn't go in and do chest and back, but would separate these out into two separate days.

If there are a dozen people on the planet, who could train with sufficient intensity to make one work-set work, I'd be shocked.

Well technically, Dorian used about 4 work sets during each workout, cause he did about 4-5 sets per bodypart.

Work in what regard? You mean work optimally?

I mean make continual progress (not necessarily optimally). And I am not referring to newbs.

Definately folksy, humerous. Calm down big guy, I'm ribbing your brother.

My journal is encoded so I don't frighten all you kiddies away.

I believe you can with one set... but it is hard withou the help of a spotter and/or workout partner. It is always good to have someone pushing you on those last reps.

Duncan has done it and had great progress. Guess we'll see if I respond the same.

As far as splitting parts... Im not exactly sure. I have read of HIT full body routines (as recommended by Dr.Darden)with minimal rest in between sets.. but I cannot put the sufficient intensity into it as I can with a split.

Rock is a good guy. Just not a strong one.

HIT gets harder as you get stronger. I agree w that.

What would u say if I wanted to wait only one day before I did legs?

This whole trash talking thing is so dry and sardonic I can't tell who's kidding anymore.

Yea, Rock is cool. Its not like his trash talking is gonna do anything for his physique anyway.

I have done a lot of his programs from his book "Blood & Guts" with success in the past. I always liked his 2 set theory on everything. That in reality 1 balls to the wall set should be enough but in case you don't go intensely enough to something happens to that 1st set, you make it up in the 2nd set. But then again, today on squats with 315, I know I physically could not have done a 2nd set.

Today's workout.

Leg Extensions : 220 x 13 (slow) superset w/
Leg Press (45 x 8) x 13 (slow)

Stiff Leg-Deadlifts 225 x8 superset w/
Leg Curls 170 x 8

Calf Raises (whole stack) x 14 rp x 2 rp x 1 (done slow)
