That style of training was mainly applied to people with very low recovery ability or people who could train so brutally hard that they dug a deep enough neurological hole to actually need that much downtime. In my experience, that second category is rare. Not impossible — just rare. Most lifters simply don’t train with the level of neurological efficiency or intensity required to justify extremely long rest periods. For the majority, 5–7 days between hitting the same muscle group is more than sufficient and often works better. Personally, I’ve never trained a fully consolidated routine myself. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong — it just means it was never widely applied. Mike only used it with a very small number of people, and for specific reasons. So if you’re one of those few good men, so to speak — go for it. Just be honest about which category you’re actually in. — Markus

Heavy Duty Nation, read this slowly. The HIT Warrior Guide was never meant to motivate you. It was written to correct you. If you’re still: - adding volume because it feels productive - training again before adaptation has occurred - confusing discipline with burnout then this guide exists because of that. This is not content. It’s a rulebook for High-Intensity Training done without compromise. Inside the HIT Warrior Guide, you’ll find: - The Warrior Workout — how HIT is actually executed - The exercises that matter most (ranked, explained, justified) - Non-negotiables around intensity, recovery, and restraint - The standards that separate warriors from lifters who just stay busy No filler. No opinions. No room for interpretation. FINAL NOTICE HDN members have 24 hours remaining to use the private $10 discount. After that, this access is removed. This is HDN-only. It is not public.
