"This book belongs on
the shelf next to Ellington Darden's The New High Intensity Training
for educating the masses on a brief and productive method of
resistance training. While Darden's book includes much of the
history of HIT and Jone's related anecdotes, Brian D. Johnston
delves into a heavier theoretical base for HIT, including several
case studies and papers in support. This theoretical approach
is helpful in refuting the myths regarding HIT, and as well provides
ammunition for dealing with the typical gym rat espousing training
'wisdom' at the local health club. Brian also provides a practical
approach to HIT, starting with proper exercise mechanics and
basic 'starter' routines, and moving to more advanced techniques
(split routines, body part specialization, set variables, etc.).
One could base the rest of his or her training career on the
concepts found within this book."

An excellent library
resource for fitness professionals to loan to clients, or to
use as a reference for lectures and debates.
 An educational resource designed for
those who understand HIT and particularly those who don't!
This books includes the history,
misunderstandings, fundamental principles, physiological basis,
application (basic and body part specialization routines), case
studies, and supporting scientific research of high-intensity
training. Some topics include:
The History of HIT. Where did it originate and what was
its basis? Believe it or not, it has been around for over 100
years, since many trainees had to keep sessions brief out of
necessity, and that meant being able to train very hard.
HIT Misunderstandings. There is extreme ignorance as to what
HIT is, poor understanding of muscle physiology, and much of
the propaganda against HIT is politically charged!
Fundamentals of HIT. Basics principles of exercise science
and stress physiology both support and encourage brief, intense
and infrequent exercise.
Proper Movement. To derive the greatest benefit from
minimal sets, there must exist proper mechanics, breathing that
is controlled and coordinated with movement, and sufficient tension
throughout the range of movement.
Program Prescription. There is a logical way in which to
train the body, and this book outlines the most basic HIT methodologies,
together with advanced split routines, body part specialization
and the integration of the most common HIT variables.
HIT Case Studies. Thousands of people world-wide train
HIT, and with great success, as exemplified in the DeLand High
School project, the West Point Study, the Colorado Experiment,
and with dozens of college and professional sports teams.
Supporting Science. Three major papers are included in
this book, which discloses what strength training research has
determined over the past three decades: Arthur Jones and HIT
methodology is right, with no benefit in support of multiple
sets, periodization, or other high-volume protocol.

"The I.A.R.T.'s 'HIT
- Higher Intelligence Training Manual' is compelling reading
and an absolutely irreplaceable educational resource. I would
go so far as to say that I consider it my new bible for intelligent
resistance exercise training information. The book comprehensively deals with all
aspects of resistance training from the history, philosophy and
fundamentals of High Intensity Training, to proper exercise performance
and application including increasing demands with intensity variables
to maximize results. And it does so in such great detail and
in such a logical manner that it leaves no doubt as to the most
effective, safe and efficient way to exercise. Exercise Prescription, Physique Tranformations,
Research Projects and Case Studies are only a few more of the
subjects that are painstakingly covered. This is truly a treasure
chest of vital information for the exercise enthusiast or fitness
industry professional. You really have to see it to believe it!
When it comes to Higher Intelligence
Training, Brian D. Johnston literally wrote the book on it!"
