Je kan meer kracht leveren dan dat je bij 200kg doet... omdat de time onder tension minder is.
ik denk wel dat je alles moet nuanceren, ben geen fan van HIT maar zeker bij bijv. tijdgebrek en puur voor spiermassa te gainen is het best leuk en handig, het principe dat er niet veel volume nodig is om een spier te slopen is imo wel correct, echter wij echte mannen die niet alleen big willen zijn maar ook heavy willen tillen moeten ook rekening houden met het goed worden in bewegingen, het bewegingsspecifiek sterk worden, technisch perfect liften (wedstrijden), oefeningen met carryover naar main lifts etc. (om nog maar te zwijgen over blessuregevoeligheid/overtraining die bij hit op de loer ligt)... die shit van arthur is dus duidelijk niks voor ons, maar geen complete onzin vind ik


ik snap niet hoe jullie opeens bij HIT-bashen komen maar ongelooflijk hoe jullie je durven uitlaten over iets waar jullie nog nooit over hebben gelezen?! Wie van jullie heeft effectief 'the nautilus principles' gelezen? moesten jullie dat gedaan hebben zouden jullie weten dat HIT veel verder gaat dan alleen Arnie bashen (hij wordt zelfs nooit gebasht in die bulletins) maar jullie geven het niet eens de kans en dat vind ik heel spijtig. Maar goed HIT zal wel niet badass genoeg zijn voor de Strongman-sectie en kracht zal je er ook wel niet mee bouwen, denk dat ik mijn powerrack maar beter omsmelt tot een isolateral bicep curl machine met bijhorende shakerhouder
"The building of strength is proportionate to teh intensity of exercise. The higher the intensity the better the muscles are stimulated. Performing a Nautilus exercise to the point of momentary muscular failure assures that you've trained to maximum intensity."ik snap niet hoe jullie opeens bij HIT-bashen komen maar ongelooflijk hoe jullie je durven uitlaten over iets waar jullie nog nooit over hebben gelezen?!

*Why HIT Is Total ****ing Horseshit, Part 1
To begin, I believe that everyone is a highly unique individual, with varying work capacities and biological composition. This belief is founded in a great deal of science, ranging from the work of Roger Williams in "Biochemical Individuality" to a variety of other authors and anecdotal evidence, including my own experience. Mike Mentzer, however, thought that every single person is like a cog in some massive machine, and that human beings are essentially mass-produced organic machines, with interchangeable parts and identical biological functions and structures.
He was dead ****ing wrong.
Everyone starts out with a VERY DIFFERENT work capacity based on a combination of nature and nurture, namely, how good their genetics are and how useful their parents were in raising a young Teddy Roosevelt.
Your genetic capacity is based on a variety of things (don't even come at me with the ****ing somatotypes horseshit, as it's been addressed, and bodybuilders are the only ones who think that theory holds any stock whatsoever anymore) ranging from the size and arrangement of your internal organs to the composition of your muscle fibers.
Now, before you consign yourself to "hardgainer" status, note that you can change your body's ability to metabolize both nutrients and wastes, in addition to the number of mitochondria in your muscle cells, the thickness of the muscle fibers, and the thickness of your muscle attachments through a combination of good diet and extremely hard training. Additionally, one's capacity to handle hard exercise actually improves over time, so the more you do, the more you'll be able to do in the future.
Want proof? How about the fact that Lance Armstrong is able to still draw breath? By HIT's concepts, he should be dead by now. In fact, he should be deader than Mentzer's dumb ass.
Mike Mentzer, for those of you who don't know, was a bodybuilder in the 1970s and 1980s who pimped Arthur Jones's Nautilus equipment and trained according to Jones's philosophies of tremendously short, brutally hard workouts. Jones himself was a tiny guy, with no appreciable muscle mass and no definable reason for believing that his system was the best, save for the fact that he apparently hated working out.
Jones took under his wing two up-and-coming bodybuilders, Casey Viator and Mike Mentzer. Viator won the Teen USA, Junior America, and Mr. America all in the same year, 1971, and later went on to take 3rd in the 1982 Mr. Olympia, his crowning achievement. For those of you who don't know, 1981-1983 were some of the sorriest years of the Olympia's existance, seeing the crowning of three fairly unimpressive Olympians amid a field of virtual nobodies (though Franco was kind of the shit, he beat a pack of nobodies). Mentzer came up around the same time, and was notable for simultaneously being a speed freak who rarely slept, a genetic freak, and one of the biggest ****ing crybabies in any sport ever, while at the same time hilariously espousing a drug-free lifestyle. After losing the 1980 Olympia to Arnold, he quit the sport and began misinterpreting Ayn Rand's Objectivism and applying his inane, drug-crazed ramblings to bodybuilding.
*Why HIT IS Total ****ing Horseshit, Part 2
So, Mentzer was a ****ing whackjob, which we know right off the bat. But how whacked?
He applied Ayn Rand's "Art of Non-Contradictory Identification" (i.e. logic) to weightlifting. This theory hold that contradictions cannot exist in objective reality. Thus, there can only be ONE best system of weight training. Somehow, in Mentzer's drug-fueled ramblings, he failed to notice that the "best" is an entirely subjective determination. He believed, as an extension, that a contradiction is mistaken reasoning, which is amusing, because the fact that he lost to many, many bodybuilders who followed training regimes that were the total obverse of his own should have tipped him off to the fact that his conceptions of proper training and nutrition were retarded.
Mentzer believed:
That heavier training through progression took more of a toll on the body as one progressed. (Wisdom of Mike Mentzer p. 50) He apparently failed algebra, as had he done the math, he'd have recognized that 90% of a 1RM is still 90% of a 1RM, even when the RM increases drastically, and that training at that intensity takes the same toll on the body, no matter how low or high the RM (rep max).
That the more intense the workout, the shorter it should be. "For every slight increase in intensity, there has to be a disproportionate decrease in volume." (WMM p. 50) At the time, the Bulgarians were drastically increasing the volume of their programs, and began training up to 8 hours a day. Elite athletes found that the stronger they became, the more they needed to train in order to get results, rather than less, as Mentzer believed.
Mentzer believed that "intensity" was defined as "how hard you train", a completely subjective concept. Everyone else in strength training and physical culture knew (and know) that "intensity" describes the amount of weight used in relation to one's limit lift. Thus, 90% of one's 1RM (one rep max), is a far greater intensity than 60% 1RM.
"The full completion of the recovery process may take anywhere from one day to a couple of weeks." (53 WMM) Sport science would disagree, claiming that individuals' training capacities may vary widely, but that most trainees recover in between 6 and 72 hours, depending on the volume and intensity of one's workout. He also thought that "up to 3 months might be required in order to recover from a high intensity workout for the biceps"(54 WMM) in spite of the fact that BROKEN BONES HEAL FASTER THAN THAT.
"Anatomically and physiologically, every human being is essentially the same" (33 High Intensity Training), in spite of the fact that he believed in somatotyping, and the fact that it's been widely demonstrated that no two people are "essentially the same", exhibiting widely varying metabolisms, enzymatic processes, organ location and sizes, and muscle fiber compositions.
That one should consume massive amounts of carbs, and no more than 100g of protein a day! HAHAHAHAHA.
That one needs only to do one set for each bodypart to total failure every week and a half, though he regularly exceeded this volume by an order of magnitude.
Lastly, Mentzer believed that "the mind can alter any physiological system (200 HIT). This is hilarious, given the fact that he didn't believe that one's recovery EVER adapted to training, hahahahaha.
The verdict? Mentzer was a ****ing r*tard, and I'm glad he's dead. With any luck, his legions of HIT jedi will fade into obscurity (rot in hell Ellington Darden and Stuart McRobert), and we can all train like ****ing animals without hearing about "overtraining" and "hardgaining" ever again.
Destroy the weak.

I thought I read somewhere that Casey admitted steroid use during the Colorado experiment. Also, he admitted to "sneaking out" and getting in some extra workouts. I can't quote the source anymore, so take this unreliable information.
A genetic superior such as Casey, assisted by steroids, starting from an artificially low bodyweight and factoring in "muscle memory" and not needing to work for a living at that point...I tend to agree with Boyer Coe. A startling gain until you realize that just about ALL conditions were optimized for this type of gain. Not the type of stuff that most mere mortals have available to them...genetics or no genetics.

Just found this...tends to support Steve W and Casey, Jones, et al.
Taken from an article called "A Conversation with Casey Viator" by Brian D. Johnston.
BDJ: Several years ago there appeared an article in Muscle & Fitness entitled "Casey Comes Clean." In this article, you discussed the Colorado experiment with Arthur Jones and how you gained over 60 pounds of muscle. In the article you downplayed HIT training, saying you needed more volume than 3 days per week, and that he was "sneaking" in extra workouts on your own time. I would be curious to know if that was a propaganda article, or if that reflected your honest opinion.



Hoho, Casey had hem gezworen dat hij niets gebruikte hè!
Wat dacht je van zijn methode om te bepalen of je armen nog kunnen groeien? Meet de arm voor de training en na de training, het verschil na de pomp bepaald of je nog kan groeien!

Natuurlijk zijn er betere manieren om krachtgains te maken dan 2 sets van 10 tot failure, in dat opzicht pas ik HIT ook niet toe, maar de realiteit is wel dat met deze trainingsmethode je veilig en effectief je genetisch potentieel kwa kracht en massa kunt behalen, en er is niemand die dat kan ontkennen. als je 20x200 squat met vlotte non-stop reps als een natty, zal je hoogstwaarschijnlijk zo sterk zijn als dat je ooit zult worden. Daarenboven stond de nautilus machine helemaal niet centraal in dat boek, AJ stelt meermaals dat een barbell een mirakel is geweest in de krachtcultuur, MAAR dat een barbell wel zijn beperkingen heeft, wat gewoon een feit is. Om maar duidelijk te maken hoe AJ dacht, met deze oefeningen kun je heel dicht bij je genetisch potentieel kwa kracht en massa komen zei hij:
Doe ermee wat je wil en geloof wat je wil, maar ik wou gewoon wat duidelijkheid scheppen omtrent wat HIT oorspronkelijk is en wat het moest zijn 
ik snap niet hoe jullie opeens bij HIT-bashen komen maar ongelooflijk hoe jullie je durven uitlaten over iets waar jullie nog nooit over hebben gelezen?! Wie van jullie heeft effectief 'the nautilus principles' gelezen? moesten jullie dat gedaan hebben zouden jullie weten dat HIT veel verder gaat dan alleen Arnie bashen (hij wordt zelfs nooit gebasht in die bulletins) maar jullie geven het niet eens de kans en dat vind ik heel spijtig.

zijn niet veilig

een genie is iemand met een buitengewoon hoog intellect, en dat was hij zeker, de kennis dat die man vergaart heeft op zijn levensjaren heb ik nog niemand zien nadoen, hij was een expert op medisch vlak (heeft Medx en Nautilus eigenhandig uit de grond gestampt, kwa aeronautica (kon zowat elk soort vliegtuig uit die tijd besturen), film (heeft enkele soorten lenzen uitgevonden) en dieren (heeft in zijn leven met zowat elk soort reptiel en groot zoogdier gewerkt en heeft snakehandlingtechnieken en transportvormen voor zulke dieren bedacht die nog steeds gebruikt worden). Al dit en hij had nog tijd genoeg om 18-jarige modellen te nken bij de vleet. Maar goed laat ik laat het zoals het is, meer zeggen heeft toch geen zin.
