High Intensity Training:THE most effective way to train your body for Maximum Strength and Insane Muscle Growth.
High Intensity Training (HIT) is a form of strength training popularized in the 70's by Arthur Jones, the founder of Nautilus. The training focuses on performing quality weight training repetitions to the point of muscular failure by sufficiently overloading the muscle. The training takes into account the
1-Arthur Jones: Jones' ideas helped move the techniques of bodybuilding and strength-training exercise away from the high volume (spending hours in the gym, day after day) using free weights, to High Intensity Training. This involves short workouts with maximum intensity, which triggers maximal muscular growth and Strength. Famous individuals who trained by the rules of Jones include Casey Viator (who participated in the Colorado Experiment), Eddie Robinson (who worked with and participated in and trained under Jones's nautilus leverage line which is now Hammer Strength;, Mike Mentzer, Sergio Oliva (2 x Mr. Olympia and Dorian Yates (4 x Mr. Olympia).
Jones was the creator of Nautilus exercise equipment Nautilus, Inc.
Human Muscle tissue has 4 distinct types of muscle fibers.
Next you do a set of body weight push ups, the chest, shoulders and triceps all get into action but this time even more muscle fibers are needed to move your body off the floor, its to much of a load on your first 2 muscle fiber groups so the CNS Central Nervous System is triggered to fire off the next level off muscle fibers : Slow, medium slow, now medium fast;) the more you overload the muscle the more intense it is and thus the more muscle fibers are activated .
By the time you hit the gym and get into a set of 200 lb Bench Presses. Bam! the CNS is triggered to start bringing in the Big Guns for a heavier load as more of your muscle fibers fire up to get that heavy weight lifted off your chest.
Now that we have established levels of intensity for daily activities , we can do the same thing for the actual types of weight lifting we do.
Lets compare 2 different athletes. Take a look at these 2 ends of the intensity spectrum. The Sprinter vs. The Marathon runner.
Marathon: High Volume Low Intensity vs. Sprinting: High Intensity Low Volume.
A marathon runner has great lungs and nothing against his or her athleticism. Just comparing the 2 activities. His running for 26 miles (High Volume at 4-5 hours) although strenuous and taxing on the cardiovascular system , does very little in the form of muscle fiber recruitment, (Low Intensity).
On the other hand Usain Bolt "Fastest man on the Planet" Sprints 100 meters in just 9.69 seconds!!
High Intensity, Low Volume.
What is the Best High Intensity Training method to stimulate the Most Muscle Strength and Muscle Growth?
How can you Overload the Muscles to the maximum amount for any given exercise?
How long is the Optimum rest and recovery time between workouts?
How can you measure Intensity?
What are The most intense exercises?

High Intensity Training (HIT) is a form of strength training popularized in the 70's by Arthur Jones, the founder of Nautilus. The training focuses on performing quality weight training repetitions to the point of muscular failure by sufficiently overloading the muscle. The training takes into account the
- number of reps
- Type of reps.
- the amount of weight used; Overload.
- amount of time the muscle is contracting in order to maximize the amount of muscle fiber recruitment.
