excellent first class

One of the best research facilities is the human mind. Many valid answers regarding exercise can be derived with the use of sound premises and logic.The h.i.t. principles are based on accepted facts. Most of these facts are not new. They have been known to the scientific community for more than 100 years. Arthur Jones and Ellington Darden did not discover or claim to discover any of them. He merely assembled them into a logical framework to provide valid conclusions about high intensity exercise. No one had done that before. Or really has doneThe h.i.t, philosophy is the only exercise philosophy that can be derived logically from the facts and principles of the classical sciences. Does that necessarily make h.i.t. correct? No. And it does not necessarily make illogically conceived approaches to exercise wrong.But logic does confer on h.i.t. a high probability of being correct for building great size and strength but most people cant tolerate the pain and intensity of this kind of trading yes it is the hard most properly the hardest and most result producing there is but most people back away first class better that all the other miss leading books aound 90% dont work and do have the science backingthis is excellent first class

Still ahead of its time........

......This book was written in the early 70's based off of scientific research of what works and what doesn't in training. It is by far the most forward thinking and logical book on the subject...I treasure my copy for giving me new found focus in my training with results due to high intensity with minimum time..............Needs to be put back into circulation to set all the misinformation aside that exists amoung the uninformed and market manipulated public............

The best training book that I have ever read!!!!! Bar-None

This was the most complete and knowledgeable training guide that I have ever read. I lost my copy and am currently trying to find a new one.
