    HIT vs Power Bodybuilding

    Opinions? Which one is best overall; and which one is best when paired with an athletes’ high cardio training routine?

    High Intensity Training (intensity and beyond-failure focused: short, intense, low-rep, drop-sets, rest-pauses)

    Power Bodybuilding (progressive overload focused: longer rest periods, heavy weight, lower rep ranges with a smidgen of high rep work to wrap it up).

    It's a mix of power lifting and body building .

    It can be set up many ways.

    Few sets big pump light weight followed by big weight low reps a few sets

    I’m for power body building all the way, just much more interesting to me. I tried to add some HIT in, but if you do it correctly it’s very hard on your body.

    If you can find a nice mix of both you would probably be best off, but recovery would have to be well thought out.

    I've got 99 problems......but my squat/dead ain't one !!

    It doesnt matter how good looking she is, some where, some one is tired of her shit.

    Light travels faster then sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    Great place to start researching ! http://forums.steroid.com/anabolic-s...-database.html

    Entirely dependant upon goals and the individual in every way.

    My way is best though and I am not telling because I am just the best there is and if the info fell into the wrong hands it could mean the end of life on earth. Except for me.
    I dont want that though because I like a few people.

    Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at. It depends on your goals. The important thing is getting to the gym and hitting quality reps. I don't really think one is better than the other as long as the rep range /exercise selection is in line with those goals

    Thanks for the feedback fellas.

    I was thinking the same. HIT seems to tear my joints up more too.
