HIT v. volume
i just wanted to know what some of you guys had to say.
i've done the 24 workout mass blitz and i didnt get much result. i think its probably because i couldn't handle that kind of intensity but maybe my body just doesnt repond to that type of workout. i'll go till failure in like 8-12 reps and wont feel like i did anything unless i do at least 15 sets on one group. i guess it depends on what youlike but what do you think?

Re: HIT v. volume
You've done heavy volume and didn't respond to it, try a HIT work out and see if it works for you.
Or maybe try a 5x5 routine and see how it goes. They all have their place, but I prefer lower volume workouts.

Re: HIT v. volume
I change rep ranges after 6-10 weeks, but always remain low volume.

Re: HIT v. volume
different strokes for different folks! I'm currently doing a combination of high-intensity and power in my sets. I do slow negatives to failure for most bodyparts and incorporate power sets (3-4 reps) in exercises for my chest, back, and legs.
