Ep. 224 - The Return of HIT (high intensity training)
About this episode
Here at Iron Culture we're overjoyed any time the legends of the game are remembered in the current age, and Mike Mentzer, one of the best-built proponents of HIT (High Intensity Training) - low volume, low frequency training to failure - is making a modern resurgence. Is it because he had a top tier golden age physique? Is it the appeal to hard work and masochism that we bodybuilders are always ready to eat up? Or is it the recent research in pre-print status that indicates going to failure might be better for hypertrophy? As you can expect, it's probably a combination of these factors and there's more than meets the eye to each. Join us this week as we go deep into this modern HIT resurgence.
