An article on HIT by my younger brother. Excellent Article

Rethinking what I said, I have to disagree, respectfully . Traditional hit programs consider the days of rest a varying quality of the training itself. Modifying it is the rule, not the exception. And as far as load and rep goes, every single training program looks to progressively increase strength. Adding more to the load or more reps is an indicator of the programs success, not a variation of the program itself.

I was referring to the manipulation, not the addition of weight. The same applies to repetitions.

You can not train forever using the same method by simply increasing reps and load. As an individuals training age increases so do the variations in their program. What must go up must come down. So, at some point a form of periodzation has to be incorperated.
