The concept of ‘high intensity training’ (HIT) has an extensive and somewhat negative history, which is ironic since it initially was promoted as follows:
1. Use proper form
2. Train as hard as possible
3. Allow enough time between sessions to recover, so that growth/strength can increase.
Certainly such advice would be expected in any exercise program that desires optimum results. However, since this direction in exercise happened to coincide with the promotion of Nautilus machines and denounced the use of protein supplements, the
industry (i.e., the muscle magazines that promoted otherwise) was up in arms.
Discussed in a later chapter will be the positive outcomes of proper high intensity training, but at this point it is important to look at the history of high-intensity exercise, as well as discuss why this training method is looked down upon by much of the industry,
and even some of the dogmatic biases of HIT-supporters.
