HIT and Powerlifting

Rocco32 · 08-11-2005, 06:14 PM

Just wondering what people think about HIT routines working for powerlifting? Think there is any way to swing that and make good progress or not?

I think it would be hard to max out at a meet if you are going all out each workout. You would really need to watch your intensity so that you peak yourself for the meet and not "blow your load" to soon.

I feel I do lower volume on many things than many people, but I'm still not ready for HIT. Then again I have not read profusely on the topic, static holds and things like that are not commonplace for me and when performed are not 30 seconds and so on.

But with Westside aren't you maxing out once a week?

yes but not on the specfic lift that you will be performing in the contest. The variation is what makes it work.

What do you want to do? HIT rack lock outs?

Don't you hate when you blow your load to soon? Heh, sorry, couldn't resist.

It would definitly be hard going all out each and every workout, but your working out so infrequently that I don't think it would be a problem. Since I have started HIT, I have achieved far more strength than hypertrophy in my opinion. My bench, deadlift, and squat have all gone up which for a powerlifter is your number one goal. Also, if you remember Rocco, DD was doing HIT primarily for football while hypertrophy was secondary. It definitly seemed to work for him..

I sense that Rocco is about to embark on a new training program.

Sure, why not?

It could be a good variation exercise worked in conjunction with something else.

Haha, not yet Cappie. I'm just toying with the idea and thinking about my shoulder/forearm injury. Didn't bother me when I did HIT before so I was just thinking...

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
