Book Overview

Certain to become the bible of HIT-the training that revolutionized lifting with shorter, far-more-intense workouts-New High Intensity Training by Ellington Darden is the last word on how to achieve explosive growth safely, without steroids For many dedicated bodybuilders, the weight-lifting theories of Arthur Jones are gospel. It was Jones, the inventor of Nautilus exercise equipment, who first discovered that short, intense workouts could produce better results than the long, high-volume workouts then in vogue. Even though research into Jones's methods has proved them correct, a number of high-profile strength coaches use HIT to train their athletes, and the bodybuilding magazine Ironman does HIT-based features every issue, there still are no major HIT books in stores. This new book-by champion bodybuilder, exercise researcher, and best-selling author Ellington Darden, who is a Jones disciple and friend-shows lifters how to apply the master's teachings, along with some new HIT concepts to achieve extraordinary results. At the heart of the book is a complete, illustrated, six-month course for explosive growth. Exercise by exercise, workout by workout, the reader is shown precisely what to do, and perhaps even more important, what not to do. Charging that too many bodybuilders follow a more-is-better approach-too many exercises, too many sets, and too much frequency-and rely on steroids to compensate for depleted recovery ability, Darden shows why HIT, steroid-free and healthy, is the best way to safely build muscle. Finally, the exercise religion Arthur Jones founded, and Darden fine-tuned, has its bible.

Worth the money

I would recommend this book to anyone who has lost what they once had and want to regain it. I purchased this book a couple months ago and read it from cover to cover. Years ago I used to train for 2 to 3 hours a day and I was in pretty good shape. Then life got in the way (school, job, etc) and working out became a hassel. Over the course of about 6 years of not lifting a single weight, I lost the muscle and definition...

Build muscle and lose fat, too easy...

After 4 weeks of a 1500 calorie diet and super slow lifting 3 times a week, I am down to 179 from 189 and definitely have more muscle and strength. So I probably lost more than 10 lbs of fat because I certainly gained some muscle mass. If you have the guts to eat 1500 calories a day and have the stamina to do 15 second reps, you will see success. The book is not written by Shakespear, but there are valuable pages of exact...

CAN'T TELL YOU HOW GOOD THIS BOOK IS!

This book is so, so good. This is the best book I've ever read on the subject and I've read hundreds. It is informative, entertaining, and an magnificent read. This is the most fun reading on fitness/bodybuilding you will find. I loved this book. High Intensity Training is the most efficient, most effective workout system ever devised. No question about it. It works so well it has to be experienced to be believed. But, it...

Dr. Darden hits new book on high intensity out of park

I have known Dr. Ellington Darden for 20 years, and have read almost every one of his books. I consider Dr. Darden my mentor, and realize that most of what I know in the area of strength training I learned from him. Without question, his latest book, The New High Intensity Training, is the best he has ever written. It is not only highly informative, but incredibly interesting to read. Dr. Darden's history of high-intensity...

The New HIT is a HIT

This latest book, by Ellington Darden, who has written more than three dozen books, including The Bowflex Body Plan, is perhaps one of his best. It is a unique treatment in that it provides a provacative background (with many surprising stories and insights) of high intensity training (HIT), a term that he coined about thirty years ago, together with training direction that is unparalleled in the philosophy and discipline...
