iron brothers...how many guys train HIT here? HIT really became popular due to Mike Mentzer (http://www.evolutionary.org/mike-mentzer-steroid-cycle) back in the day. I found the method very effective and it gave me good gains...we are discussing it on evo now: http://www.evolutionary.org/forums/anabolic-steroids-peds/mike-mentzer-profile-37853.html

Mike Mentzer really revolutionized training. His "Heavy Duty" training protocol lead the way to Dorian Yate's Blood and Guts training and later Dante Trudel's Doggcrapp training.

He was the first person to question the insanely high volume routines guys in his day were doing and started to question if maybe less is more when it comes to volume.

I personally am a higher volume training guy myself but I completely agree with Mike Mentor that training QUALITY is much more important then QUANTITY.

Think about a carpenter who uses his biceps all day to swing a hammer. His arm is lean and strong, but it isn't big. Think of a sprinter who focuses on short bursts of explosiveness (similar to weight lifting). His leg muscles are much larger then an endurance runner's.

a shame that he fell victim to his addictions

quality over quantity for sure
