I decided to give this routine a try, my other one became so boring and I was just going nowhere with after a while. I did some searches on here to see what the whole deal is with it, but I'm still not clear on it. Today I did a mock version of it, or at least I guess I did, I did my chest and back with Bench and Deads as my core and threw in Incline DB, Weighted Chin-ups, and Back Row. (it kicked my ass)

My main question is this, I wasn't really starting to feel too much until I got to the Deads (those killed me) in the middle of my workout. I did one set per exercise but it felt like nothing was accomplished after I finished them. I did go to failure, had a spotter the whole thing. Am I supposed to do more than just one set with the ones that felt like nothing got done?

Also is it better to do split routine or do full body, and if so how many days per week is recommended for each. Sorry for all of the questions but I feel this place has some good people with good info. I really like the theory behind HIT (and after my workout from the Deads I passed out when I got home) I would love to keep going with it I just need more info Thanks so much.

Peace,
Joe

are you doing enough warm-up sets before the one work set for each exercise ?

I have found that it makes a huge difference for me, especially with a large muscle group like the back...

What you talking about Willis ?

No...I read somewhere, I think here, that said you get the warm up in the first like 6-7 reps and the last 4-5 are your actual exercise weight. I'll give that a try though.
