Brandon: Is that the static training book? Pete Sisco has a habit of making some pretty outlandish claims about his methods. You want to be cautious of all his claims about the static training results and take his stuff with a pinch of salt The train two days week, less is more approach is often referred to as H.I.T. this is the style of training advocated by the late Mike Mentzer. Pre Mentzer, Arthur Jones was one of the first big proponents of the one set to failure approach. It's also advocated for hardgainers by Stuart McRobert. Google any of these and you should come up with plenty of info. Here's some info that might help you: the best source by far (imho) is cyberpump.com the only problem is that it is a private site and access costs $12 a year. the next two links are the famous Arthur Jones Nautilus Bulletins. These are very interesting read. www.timinvermont.com/fitness/bul1toc.htmwww.timinvermont.com/fitness/bul2toc.htmNice background on HIT/Arthur Jones by Clarence Bass www.cbass.com/ArthurJones.htmI've got a ton of links/info on hit training so just say if you want me to post any more. |

You might have read the threads where UncleJesse and others talk about "DC" training. That routine is based upon the less is more, one set to failure approach you are reading about. btw, if you get time take a look at the Arthur Jones bulletins, they are a very interesting read. Some of the stuff is a little outdated (they were written 30 years ago and he can be verbose). The sections on realistic expectations in training is one of my favorites: www.timinvermont.com/fitness/bul2c36.htmwww.timinvermont.com/fitness/b1c35.htm |

I have noticed that training with this less is more style, it is very taxing on your system if you take it all the way as you should... You learn quickly about your recovery time and really have to focus on what your body tells you and when to rest, eat and sleep. With this type of training, the diet is quite harsh, but it meant to pack on the weight... I have gained 4lbs since begining (up to 216-221) in a short amount of time. Think about this double bodyweight in protein, mostly comming from whole food sources. I find myself force-feeding at times just to get in the required protein... this doesnt feel good and cant be all that good for you. What does feel good is lifting real heavy and know you have worked your ass off for the past hour. Leg days are taxing and make it quite hard to walk for a few days. I noticed I have to give an extra day for recovery between leg days and my chest will stay sore for a solid 4 days. I have not been posting in my journal since I have not had much time on my hands, but it is not easy!!!
