Well I have been doing the HIT routine and I really like it. I have put on some decent LBM but I have also began to lose my definition. I'm currently at about 240 with BF% in the high teens I guess (pics posted in members pic forum). I'm going to be cutting very slowly as well. I really like the HIT program but I'm thinking of going back to lifting each BP once a week. The reason for this is that I want to start doing more exercises for each muscle to bring back some of the shape.
I guess I'm wanting opinions on wether to stick with HIT and just up my reps, or am I better off doing 3-4 exercises (depending on which muscle group). My feeling is that I like HIT for putting on LBM but I think a little bit more volume will really help bring out the muscle I have gained.
