Where does /fit/ stand on HIT method of training that these two advocated?
The basic premise is two warmup sets of moderately heavy weight and then a set of all-out heavy weight to about 10 reps, followed by some forced reps, rest-pause or negatives.
Then moving on to the next exercise.
The idea being that if you "spare your energy" for 3+ sets, you arent working the muscle with enough intensity.
Is it just another tool in the box to use when hitting a plateau?

All of those are memes
You just need to work on progressive overload

if it was good it wouldn't have died out like all the other "great ideas" people had back in the early days of lifting.

I did HIT in the 90s. Good for gaining strength (may have been noob gains though), no mass gained, but cut me up nicely. Overtraining was a fucking bitch, though.
Never tried volume training until now, did BWE (did nothing for cutting me up, but mass gains were nice). We'll see, I'll soon start as soon as I get over this fucking flu. Low cal diets kill me literally.

This shit only worked if you were already strong and had superior recuperation abilities.
In other words, 'roiding.
