Book Reviews of The New High Intensity Training: The Best Muscle-Building System You've Never Tried

Book Review: Don't waste your money.
Summary: 2 Stars

I don't know how long ago I bought this book, but I forgot about it, and recently I saw an article about Dorian Yates in a magazine and he was talking about how he adapted his style from Mike Mentzer. So, I was looking for a Mike Mentzer book at the store when I remembered I had bought this one and that it must be somewhere mixed in with all my other books. So, I wetn home and found it.

Much of the book just seems to be Darden's biased opinions: his love of Arthur Jones, his bashing of Arnold and the Mentzers, etc. If you want a book that just talks about HIT training, then you don't want this one. It's not worth the money. You can learn just as much about HIT training by asking on any messageboard that discusses bodybuilding.

Summary of The New High Intensity Training: The Best Muscle-Building System You've Never Tried

Certain to become the bible of HIT-the training that revolutionized lifting with shorter, far-more-intense workouts-this impassioned guide is the last word on how to achieve explosive growth safely, without steroids!

For many dedicated bodybuilders, the weight-lifting theories of Arthur Jones are gospel. It was Jones, the inventor of Nautilus exercise equipment, who first discovered that short, intense workouts could produce better results than the long, high-volume workouts then in vogue.

Even though research into Jones's methods has proved them correct, a number of high-profile strength coaches use HIT to train their athletes, and the bodybuilding magazine Ironman does HIT-based features every issue, there still are no major HIT books in stores. This new book-by champion bodybuilder, exercise researcher, and best-selling author Ellington Darden, who is a Jones disciple and friend-shows lifters how to apply the master's teachings, along with some new HIT concepts to achieve extraordinary results.

At the heart of the book is a complete, illustrated, six-month course for explosive growth. Exercise by exercise, workout by workout, the reader is shown precisely what to do, and perhaps even more important, what not to do. Charging that too many bodybuilders follow a more-is-better approach-too many exercises, too many sets, and too much frequency-and rely on steroids to compensate for depleted recovery ability, Darden shows why HIT, steroid-free and healthy, is the best way to safely build muscle. Finally, the exercise religion Arthur Jones founded, and Darden fine-tuned, has its bible.
