The purpose of the slow cadence is to take away any momentum and focussing the weight on the targeted muscle itself. If youre training heavy and using a fast cadence, youre only fooling yourself because a lot of that weight is being moved by momentum. I was on a high volume routine for years and it all but destroyed my shoulder and knees due to over training. I have never, ever enountered anyone who has given HIT a fair shake and not been impressed with its results.
Probably the biggest problem is; people assume that High Intensity Training means training very heavy. Oh, how wrong they are! Everything they know about HIT they have learned from watching stupid Internet posts, and listening to morons at the gym.
If you want to learn about HIT, then do some research. Read a book, because most of the HIT pioneers were thinking men. The two different schools of thought came from Mike Mentzer and Ellington Darden. Buy one of their books, or better yet, all.
Yes, another world-class scientist along the lines of the great Doctor Kraemer has struck again, and debunked HIT in the process. Take two identical twins, train one on 2 sets of squats, deads, and benches once per week, and one on 300 sets per week, and tell me whose bigger in six months.
Hey Joe, you are right. I don't train anymore but I was stacking plates on the machine in addition to the stack and then going to leg press for 900 lbs.
Cadence should be 4-2-4.Also , the weight is way to light.You need to curl your toes back towards your shins when your legs are in the contracted position.Did you follow this set of extensions immediatley with a set of squats or leg press to failure?If not this is not HIT.
I completely agree with the last few comments. You look somewhat strong in legs so try something more than what appears to be 50 lbs or so. Remember, INTESITY!
Where is the the 2-1-4 cadence? Where is the positive failure? The key word in H.I.T. is INTENSITY! I didn't see any intensity there at all. This isn't even worthy of being called a HIT warm up set. Extremely pathetic. You need to read some more on the topic bro before you start proclaiming yourself a follower of Arthur Jones / Mike Mentzer / Ellington Darden.
It always strikes me that the definition of contractile intensity is "the amount of work performed per unit of time", meaning the faster you lift, and the heavier you lift, the higher your intensity. Lifting fast is more intense than lifting slow, and lifting heavy is more intense than lifting light. Yet with this "high intensity training", you're lifting light AND slow, doing the exact opposite of what the name suggests.
Lifting faster does NOT equate to more intensity. Sure your lifting heavier but the actual time under tension of the contractile muscle is significantly less due to momentum aiding the lift. When they speek of speed the mean the totallity of the workout and rest between sets, when you shorten the rest between sets and yet push the same weight, you have grown stronger thus increasing your intensity. Checkmate bitch.
the eccentric phase(negatives) are too fast....u wont feel the burning sensation of HIT priciple if its done so fast.....for a thumb rule the negatives should take twice the time of the positive lift..
Only if you're trying to increase accumulative microtrauma beyond stimulation of contractile tissue for some reason, which in itself is only one out of hundreds of factors and metabolic prerequisites needed for hypertrophy to occur. HIT has been debunked by the scientific community for decades. It seems no matter how many clinical studies, controlled experiments, or otherwise blatantly irrefutable evidence gets thrown at this thing, like the monster at the end of a B movie, it just wont die.

There is no "Leg Day" in HIT. HIT inherantly means a full body workout. It's bodybuilding, not body part building.

they're not needed in the first place. they run a risk of damaging your ACL which once damaged can set you back for 6 months
