M4:D49 (D349) H.I.T. Body Builder - Dave Draper

  

What's on my mind today?



Dave Draper never did exclusively use H.I.T.  Instead, he incorporated H.I.T. cycles into his training schedule.  He was a big believer in volume training.

Dave would use H.I.T. to increase his strength, but did not believe he could increase size properly using this type of training.  Dave has alot of interesting takes on H.I.T.  One of the major components of H.I.T. is continuous progression.  As a H.I.T. trainee myself, I can tell you that my mindset is to continually increase the weight on every single exercise during every single workout.  This causes me to continually seek progression.

Draper contends that the relentless pursuit of progression will eventually lead to poor form.  Dave says that the trainee, in the pursuit of progression, will push the poundage or reps before they have actually mastered a particular weight with good form. 

While I find Dave Draper's take on H.I.T. to be interesting, I also note that he, himself, used H.I.T. as part of his training regimen.  Unlike other body builders I recently profiled, he never used H.I.T. exclusively.  However, because he did use it, I have to believe he saw some results, otherwise why would he have used it at all?

Get into the gym and give this system a try!

My cardio workout was another interval workout.  Get the heart rate up to 145 BPM and keep it there for 2 minutes.  Allow the body to recover down to 105 BPM and repeat as many times as you can in 30 minutes.
