[QUOTE="Will Brink, post: 66037, member: 2074"] He had no scientific data to back up his approach, and a number of studies were done that found multi set protocols superior to single set (1-6). There's a good reason the HIT fad of the 80s-90s went the way of the dinosaur. There's not a single pro bber who follows it, nor high level athlete I'm aware of. HIT was not the invention of Mentzer per se, but of Arthur Jones, who was a crack pot, and Ellington Darden. Volume appears to be even more important then intensity to building muscle mass. A few guys did OK following higher volume programs, going from early to more recent: Larry Scott, Sergio Olivia, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbo, Frank Zane, Chris ****erson, Samir Bannout, Lee Haney, [B]Dorian Yates[/B], Ronnie Coleman, Dexter Jackson, Jay Cutler, to name a few, have used a volume-based training approach. Not one HIT follower among them. Not true. I know Dorian well and spoke to him. He said he met with Mentzer once to see what his training was about, and that was it. Mentzer then goes on to claim he trained Yates, that Yates followed HIT, etc. All BS. Dorain being a nice low key guy that he is, didn't dispute it. Now, Yates did use less volume than most at the time, and was known for his "Heavy Duty" style of training, but Mentzer had no effects at all on Dorians training and he still did far more exercises and volume than HIT called for. Finally, when you have the genetics of a Dorian, much less a Mentzer, add in the AAS/PEDs, and plenty of food, [I]any[/I] training approach will result in increased muscle mass that few others will match. Now of course, what ended Dorian's career was the mounting injuries he suffered from training like that, and he admitted to me and in articles, had be backed off and lightened up and increased the volume he could have won a few more Mr Os. HIT is a waste of time for most and debunked by the science since it was pushed 80s and 90s. 1.
