Nice to see this type of content more often, not a lot of HIT trainees like to share videos of their workouts, if u keep this up maybe some other HIT people will follow your path, keep it up Jay! 💪💪
I like the real feeling of a REAL hit session with some accidents. Sometimes it’s not perfect, you load too much, you reach failure before you expected and your arms start to tremble. And also, you went to the gym with that threatening feeling we all know, HIT is not a walk in the park.
It’s just as interesting as watching high volume workouts. I’m sure there’s no more entertainment value in watching someone do more, where our whole paradigm is about efficiency and optimising time and results. That includes the content you create.
imo it's more interesting to see this style of training, because the failure is deeper and you can really see the central nervous system response.. facial expressions, twitching, etc :]
Jay is a great coach. GES is a great program. Literally, his videos have everything you need to get started anyway but even having 1 (yes 1) pre-coaching call, Jay spent the entire time explaining critical concepts to me. The man just speaks truth. Literally with a shitty diet, I've been able to see tremendous fucking gains at 6'6". Thanks for everything, man.
Thanks for your Testimonial comment. Allow me to ask you a few question: 1- How long have you been doing Jay's GES program? 2-Is it hard to follow if you have access to a commercial gym? 3-are you tracking you body composistion Thanks.
6'6" my brother ill trade you some muscle mass for height!! Lmao how about 10lbs muscle for 4 inches, you'll still be 6'2 let me know if you're interested!!!
@@user-tn6sq3lx6r I had to stop because of an elbow injury (from something else) but before that I did it for 8 months consistently @ 2x per week. Followed it without bullshit, pushed super hard. It's easy to follow anywhere, just understand the principles of the training and you don't even need a gym lol. However, I find that going super early in commercial gyms works best. I'm not tracking anything, I just kept getting more jacked and lean and trust me it's hard for someone like me who's on the taller side.
This video assured me I'm doing my workouts correctly. Don't let anyone tell you this video style is boring Jay! We absolutely need them. More of you working out please, because I'm convinced every time you workout you'll either tell us something new (that you forgot to mention the last time) or you'll tell us something similar (which emphasizes how important it is for us to remember it)
Ever since I switched to a lower volume/higher intensity program to focus on other fitness goals, I've actually seen better gains. Full body - Arms - Full body is my favorite. Always 30-60 minutes, done and dusted.
Blood and guts 2.0! This workout really reminds me of my regimen. The only difference is I do full body. But the faces made, the exercise order; very similar. HIT has been very good to me; I hope everyone gives it a chance. You won’t regret it.
@@andreaandrei2973 It’s mostly machine. But the order is, assisted dips, assisted pull-ups, machine shoulder press, shrugs, leg press, leg curl, calf raises and only because my gym has a machine for it, tibia raises.
@@JoseGonzalez-gg6rs Sometimes, I’ll do just one set if I feel I completely fatigued my targeted muscle(s) with that 1 attempt, but more times than not, I’ll do 1 set (between 6-10 reps) and then do a drop set after, without rest. But only 1 drop set. And my workouts last about 60-75 minutes (full body routine).
Thank you, That was very informative and interesting. I always look to some of those videos as a reference on how to perform exercises and intensity check. That was one of the best examples i ever saw on HIT training. Great commentary and showing of what is to train to fail when you are alredy an elite lifter. Hope you could post a whole lower body workout, because you dont havea Loweer body day workout on your channel.(If you can, try to post a workout video a month) Greetings from Brazil.
I changed from split to a full body workout, but well, quickly i changed my mind and got back to a split! A well done whole body HIT workout is walking in hell. I could barely walk, in fact.
You said you’re just maintaining and not trying to go from 220 to 230, what would you be doing differently if you were trying to get to 230? Just eat more? Or would you also do something different with your workout?
That is so funny 😂😂🤣😂 I lift once every 2 weeks and have made insane gains but I do forget when was the last workout 😂 so I write it down in my training log
Totally understand the discomfort in the biceps exercise. When my lats rest against my upper arm it almost feels like I am pinching an artery in the arm, very uncomfortable.
I do HIT. It works great on CHEST,LEGS for example but I found out some of my BODY PARTS just need more volume and fequency to progress and grow, especially my BACK!!! It needs more volume, I could never progress in Weighted Pullups with just one Set, but my Bench Press blew up and still goes up on 1set. Mike originally said 3sets per body part, am I not right?
Great stuff Jay thank you! I live in Thailand 🇹🇭 and only have Pull-down machines, Smith Machine and a Peck deck. Everything else is free weights but I'm trying my best to make it work with this incredible H.I.T Philosophy
No, you should do them, specially deadlifts, study the movement and do it correctly. You'll be surprised how deadlifts also hit your upper traps and rear belts along with your whole back, spinal record, ass and hams. That's an exercise you can live off of. Doing Dips, chin up, squats and deadlifts you'll have a great physique being you eat the right foods. All doing them as he's training on this video.
I'm in his VIP Coaching. And no they're a fine exercise. They don't target the legs or the glutes or the lower back any better or worse. Just train safely.
I normally don’t drink anything with electrolytes/carbs intraworkout, but I tried it today and I noticed I was less fatigued and was able to hit 1-2 more reps for each of my exercises. It might be a fluke, but I’m going to try it for all my upcoming sessions and see if it makes a difference.
Spanish music playing in the gym, yep. We Floridians know that to be all too common. Headphones help. Have you looked into LMNT for electrolytes? I’m a die hard fan, more energy when dieting and sweating my balls off here in FL too
The issue I run into with super slow hit is my grip fails before my target muscles doing heavier weights. Especially on Nautilus equipment that has the really thick grips. So I have to work on strengthening my grip so I can keep doing heavy weights.
I train fullbody once or twice a week. Why waste time and travel doing splits when you can knock it all in one session. Yes its brutal for most who arent use to it. But I feel after time your body becomes able to tolerate the stress.
First off, you should stop making weekly count of workouts. You can train full body and hit the gym again as soon as you’re recovered. It can be 3,4 5 days or even more. What I’ve experienced is at a certain stage you cannot tolerate a full body training and you’d need to split it out. Lower - upper is my go-to.
At first if you're not really experienced, you could benefit from 2 full body a week. But as you get better at generating intensity and exhausting the muscle, you may need to do an upper lower split. That's what I had to do. Or whatever split you like really. All that really matters is intensity of effort, rest and recovery and don't eat super shitty. I mean there's other stuff too but he covers that in his Golden Era System and even more in depth with his VIP Coaching
Jay, I'm 19 and want to lift weights. There are so many confusing stuff and I'm glad I came onto your channel. Recently I watched you interviewing Dorian Yates on your channel. If I train to failure, would I be able to look like Dorian did at his prime? My goal is not to compete but to maximize my health, genetic potential and achieve longevity. Thanks.
You’d need to have his genetics and gear to look like him. Naturally, it’s not going to happen. On drugs, it’s not going to happen either because every body is unique. Just train high intensity, eat a well balance diet, rest and recover enough to make constant progress. Just use your past self to monitor your progress instead of getting hung up on how others look! All the best 💪🏻
@@jdupuis4829 isn't Dorian natural though? Jay brushes high volume modality aside suggesting that body builders who do that are juiced up. But isn't HIT valid because Mentzer and Dorian were natural?
@@gabrielgiorgio-dormon8495 but don't we know more about exercise, nutrition and rest right now that we did in the 80s and 90s? Not to mention the supplements... So even if Dorian was on gear shouldn't we be able to achieve that physique naturally? I think Dorian looks bigger than Mentzer because he had more knowledge. I personally prefer attaining Dorian's physique because Mentzer was too small for my taste.
@@Gohan9112 I see what you mean but the chances of that happening naturally are next to none. There’s a limit to natural adaptation, although we don’t know what that is, it varies per person but although I wouldn’t say it’s impossible, it’s most probably not going to happens. No one really knows, even if most people say no, there could be one genetic freak that proves otherwise. Not saying that’s me, but online it says you can build 15 pounds of muscle naturally in a year under ideal conditions… I put on 18lbs of muscle in the last 6 months and at least 28lbs of fat on top of that… I train HIT pretty close to Mentzer’s recommendations with my own variation… that was mostly barbells but it reached the point where the fatigue was too much for my training frequency. My hip thrust at the beginning of the year went from 225lb I think to 675lbs in a few months, naturally… I didn’t have the best training knowledge in the world, but my profile pic is 8 months of natural training at age 15… tbh I lost most of that after a few girl heartbreaks but I’m getting back in the grove and am going to start competing next summer. My goal is to be the best natural bodybuilder and hopefully compete against enhanced athletes if I can. We’ll see 🫡
In the pulldown? When you fully extend in the stretched position it’s really mostly chest doing the work and not the back muscles, since he is training back he doesn’t want to stimulate the chest and use the energy for the back.
I personally get much better results using a more "moderate" weight, hitting failure in the 60-90 second range of time-under-tension (which usually comes to about 10-20 reps). In my opinion, Jay is using too much weight on pretty much every exercise, and would probably get better results by lightening the load somewhat. But, each to his own...
Going lighter? Jeebus!!!!!! Slowing tempo inheritantly compromises how much weight you can use. You must be pumping out 1000 reps cause he already works to a tempo that is 3-4x longer than the average
@@user-mz1ym8pq8m I tried with 5-6 reps (with 5s up and 5s down) and my results were not good as with 8-10 reps. This is a real life experiment, and for me, as a tall hardgainer, is what works better. I think people short and more "thick", like my friend, tend to gain muscle mass being on low or high reps, that's not true for me. My legs simple do not grow on low reps.
@@user-mz1ym8pq8m I perform my rep speed around 3 seconds positive/3 seconds negative with slow turnarounds, minimizing momentum. I use a weight that allows me to reach positive failure between 8-15 reps most of the time, which amounts to about 50-90 seconds time under tension. It works great for producing muscular size and strength, and I've had zero weight training related injuries and no joint or tendon problems by doing so. Increasing rep speed by employing momemtum and shifting the load to accessory muscles helps you to move more weight (increasing your risk of injury), but it doesn't help produce any additional muscular size or strength than using a slower rep speed does (decreasing your risk of injury). Within reasonable limits (hitting failure within 45-90 seconds), the amount of weight you use is irrelavant.
I have been training HIT for months and still the same weight. Haven't really put on much muscle. And I think my 1 sets are harder than his. F my genetics. I do have much better cardiovascular for soccer though, and I do feel much better overall. Probably the weekend drinking doesn't help my gains much, aka. poisoning my body makes it harder to grow? It's great I only have to train 1 time a week which makes this actually doable and consistent. I don't see how I could stop now so I think over time I should see some more growth no matter what. Fingers crossed but even if I don't I am not going back to the 3 sets 3 times a week BS, quitting, not even working out, yoyo etc.
I bet that you do not meet your daily caloric needs and a little abobe to stimulate muscle growth. I speak as a person that was there. Your best friend have to be liquid shakes of 600-1000 calories.
I wouldn't focus primarily on the gaining muscle aspect, it's mainly about getting stronger. Strentgh precedes size, mike mentzer pointed out that sometimes he would go as long as months before seeing any noticeable size increases (and we're talking about a genetically gifted person). I myself haven't noticed much size increases, but my strength has increased and performing the exercise WAY better than before (technique > reps..etc). Sometimes the gains are so little, that it's pretty difficult to analyze a change, but if everything is done correctly (no overtraining, healthy lifestyle, good workout..etc) the physiological adaptation will occur. A positive response is taking place even if you don't see it.
Jay is probably still training harder than you, he is just better at control and discipline of not yelling or moaning. It was the same for me the pain was unbearable when I first started HIT. Now, I wonder if I even hit failure because my cardiovascular system, and pain receptors have gotten so used to going till deep muscle failure.
@@marcelo.victorJay says even in a deficit one can grow. I’m probably at maintenance as I haven’t gained or lost weight. Perhaps I’ve gained muscle and lost fat but my impedance scale says otherwise. Impedance scales don’t seem to work well though
We get the point. Any excersise will work as long as you break down the muscle and recover correctly. One set isn’t gonna do much after a while. Your muscle will Need more stress to fully stimulate. I’ve tried both over the years. You need some type of volume. Not so Much, but some volume. People gravitate to the next niche fad.
It’s all about minimal effective dose Too much volume means decreased intensity, this system is quick and affective , any gain from more volume and less intensity would be negligible
@@sman53 Minimum effective dose is correct but eventually you will need more volume with the same intensity. Eventually the weight will stay the same. You can’t keep adding pounds to a curl bar for instance. As you get more experienced you need more work to tear your muscle. It’s like anything else. Your body will adapt to one set of this is just another fad that guys like Jay are jumping on to make money and get views like some of these guys trying to reinvent the baseball swing like it hasn’t worked for the last hundred years
I think what he means is when you start to slow down because you're approaching failure, you think of driving fast or acceleration. Your rep most likely won't go faster. But it will allow you to push through and keep that intensity throughout until MMF
Jay, what do you take afterwards? Do you add glutamine in there for your BACs? And how soon after do you eat a meal? What do you eat the amount of carbs and protein?
