I love how John Defendis calls HIT the lazy mans workout

Quote:

How do your high intensity training methods differ from those championed by the late Mike Mentzer?

JD: Mentzer's philosophy was based on laziness. You can print that - I say what I think. It was based to take advantage of lazy people who didn't want to work hard. "Hey you know what? You dont have to work hard, yuo can go into the gym for 20 minutes a day."

They can call it "high intensity training" or HIT, whatever they want to call it. I call it super high intensity training, which is SHIT. You can't tell me their set is tougher or more intense than mine. They're saying their one set is so intense that it far outweighs anything I'm doing on my one set. that's how they justify needing only one or two sets where I need 40 sets.

Failure is failure. At my strongest I'd warm up in the gym with 315 for 30 on the incline, and my heavy sets would be 405 for 8 to 10 reps. When I failed, I failed. Look at the HIT method of training, for example the sen-second positive and 5-second negative. Anybody with common sense realizes that if your doing a bench press with a ten-second positive, only one muscle is working - your triceps! There's no explosiveness coming out of your chest........."

Do you advocate high volume training?

It works for me, but it doesn't work only for me; its always worked for my training partners. I think alot of people dont train enough. I dont know if they're lazy or they just dont want to spend as much time in the gym, but they do 45 minutes and they're gone. I guess its just the way society is today. You can buy premade meals, stir them and go. Everything is done so quickly I guess people want bodybuilding to be the same.

LOL at that quote from Lee Priest, I guess he does not realize that everyone does not inject a boatload of drugs in their ass.
