Great introduction to the HIT world

This book is only sold on Dr. Dardens site and I'm surprised that someone is actually selling it. It is an absolutely amazing book, it covers the history of HIT, lots of interviews of the people involved with the evolution of HIT and of course training routines. Arthur Jones just passed a few months ago and he truely was a man before his time. The lack of acceptance of Arthur Jones training principles is a classic case of conspiracy to suppress knowledge. This book has rekindled my love of training and I've since acquired 2 more Ellington Darden books. This book has changed my perspective on training and I'm UN-learning the HVT (High Volume Training) I grew up learning about when I was training in highschool in the 90's. If you want to train correctly instead of LIVING IN THE GYM 6 days a week, training twice a day split routines, and doing 10 sets of each exercise, then you might want to browse through this book. WARNING, remember I just said that Arthur Jones training principles lack of acceptance is a classic case of conspiracy to suppress knowledge, so some of the things you read in this book are COMPLETELY contradictory to what you may have learned in 99% of the training books out since the 80's. As a matter of fact, I would say it's 180 degrees different from what you've been taught. It's not about working out for hours several several times a week, or buying and consuming useless supplements (no matter how new and advanced or "specially formulated" they claim they are), or taking steroids. It's about training your body the natural way it is supposed to be trained and doing it strategically, feeding it a healthy diet and getting adequate rest between workouts. Just a tip for you "advanced" bodybuilders, your body doesn't require more training, it requires more rest to let it rebuild itself. You can make your body adapt to training by getting bigger, getting stronger and getting more stamina but there is no training that can be done to cause it to heal faster. So make sure you feed your body healthy natural nutrition, and get a full nights rest every night. I would highly recommend this book as well as another one of Dr. Dardens books, "The New High Intensity Training".
