I wouldn't even try it - I've always gotten quality results from starting off with a heavy compound and going 6-10 reps on Isolation movements.

I would like to hear some comments from those that use this style of training. I have always avoided it. Though i have gone as low as 4 working sets per body part.

I've tried it HIT before I lost some weight and size going to failure every workout burnt me out, I still use low volume 2-4 work sets which works fine for me.

HIT style works for me. Get stronger and stronger from week to week. All it takes is one heavy set to stimulate growth, if you give it your all. I used to train with higher volume and got nowhere fast (overtraining). It's all about executing that one set with intensity. Don't believe it will work for you? Try it.

When you trained HIT style, how often did you train each body part? You shouldn't lose size from it. You were burnt out performing one set?

I trained each body part twice a week. During my workout I was not burnt out during the next couple of weeks I was always feeling tired and plateau using HIT.

Sounds like you were overtraining. Try training each body part once a week.

I have been training this way for prolly 8 months now, and have nothing but good things to say about it. I do my own variation of it tho. I warm up for 1-3 sets and do 2-4 sets to failure(depending on bodypart). I have been getting stronger at practically every workout too. I will continue to do this till I stop progressing.

You want me to train only once a week using a full body routine.

I thought training twice a week would be under training.
