HIT - new and improved Incredible muscle gains with only a few short workouts per week. One to
two hours of High-Intensity Training per week are much more productive than working out in the
gym every day! In contrast to popular belief - more is not always better. Modern exercise
science has determined precisely how long an effective workout should last and how often a
muscle should be trained for optimum growth. Dr. Giessing's latest edition of his very
successful book on High-Intensity Training (HIT) comes with several exact plans for building
muscle in shorter time. The new High Intensity Training delivers optimum muscle gains using
very short but extremely efficient workouts. The right exercises and brief but intense effort
- allowing for optimum recuperation - will force your muscles into new growth. The new HIT
comes with several additional benefits: You will profit from pronounced cardiovascular
adaptions - enhanced physical endurance strengthening of the heart and the cardiovascular
system - without additional endurance training. Other parameters of physical fitness that will
be improved considerably by the new HIT are strength speed and overall flexibility. There are
a lot of good training systems to build muscle but none of them offers the combined advantages
of the new HIT. It may sound too good to be true - training less but making better muscle gains
and improvements in all other parameters of physical performance. Dr. Giessing explains in
detail why current sports research has turned to High-Intensity Training. Based on more than
200 scientific references and the practical experiences of elite bodybuilders Dr. Giessing
presents new and optimized HIT-workouts ranging from beginners to top-athletes and
bodybuilders. You can choose from several short but intense workouts ranging from one to four
workouts per week depending on how often you would like to train. You will learn how simple
and time-sparing effective training for instant muscle gains and outstanding physical fitness
can be. Optimum workout quality allows for solid muscular gains without bulking up on calories
excessively or using loads of expensive sports supplements. Dr. Giessing's book leaves no
aspect of effective muscle building untouched: It explains in detail how High-Intensity
Training produces an anabolic stimulus how to choose the right resistance the ideal
repetition speed the optimum amount of rest between sets and exercises the number of workouts
per week the minimum number of workouts for effective muscle building how to avoid
overtraining once and for all and much more. The new High-Intensity Training targets both
types of muscle fibers - fast and slow-twitch - very effectively. This is another reason for
the outstanding strength and muscle gains it produces. And there is no need for a cool-down
after the workout as shown by new scientific studies. This saves you even more time in the
gym! With his scientific background and more than 30 years of practical experience Dr. Giessing
explains convincingly and in plain language why volume training and extensive double-split
routines have dominated bodybuilding for so long and why HIT with its high-quality approach to
training may be the better option for you. This book provides you with all the information you
need to make the best improvements of your life including the background on how to easily get
back into shape fast after a layoff and an insightful and inspiring foreword by another
renowned strength training expert Dr. James P. Fisher from England. If you want to build
muscle fast markedly increase your strength and at the same time increase endurance
flexibility and speed the new HIT is the right training system for you! Reclaim the joy of
training - with only a few short workouts per week and great successes! About the author: Dr.
