HIT Training

[Juice Authority]

I've been looking into this training philosophy and several people claim they've been getting excellent results. This is a contrary method to what I'm used to. For years I've been hitting 1 muscle group a day 5 days a week. H.I.T emphasizes the belief that "Less is More". In some H.I.T workouts as few as 6 sets can be used to absolutely blast the whole body. What do you guys think of this regime?

3 Day H.I.T Split

Day 1 - Thighs, Shoulders
Squat - 2x20 (You can go heavy if you like, instead use 3x6)
Leg Press - 1 set til failure (Done immediately after last set of squats)
Leg Extension - 1x20
Dumbell Shoulder Press - 2 till failure
Lateral Raise - 2x15

Day 2 - Chest, Tris
Flat Bench or Incline Bench - 1x10, 1x6
Dumbell Press - 2x8
Tricep Extension - 2x8
Close Grip Bench - Press-2x8

Day 3 - Back, Bis
Deadlift - 2x20 (Again like the squat go heavy if thats what you like, I prefer high reps)
Lat Pulldown - 2x8 (get a good stretch and alot of negative on these)
Rows (Seated, Bent Over whatever you like best) - 2 sets to failure
Barbell Curl - 1x8
Preacher or Concentration Curl - 2x10

I like it. Have you read the FAQ here:

I like HIT for the natural athlete for 9 months, then it stops working.

Thanks. I hadn't saw that FAQ. That helps a lot. Would you suggest a program like this while on a bulking cycle or is something you while you're off.
