Beginners 2-day HIT Training

This is a beginners HIT program for a trainee who is looking to train two times a week. This workout is based on the progressive overload principle where you are trying to beat your intensity for each exercise with every workout. i.e increase weight, increase reps etc which will be required for muscle growth.

NOTES + TIPS

Try and keep your rest period honest. If you don’t keep track of your rest period you’ll not get an accurate representation of your intensity and progression.

Some would recommend a 4-8 rep range with all working sets. That works too but if you’re just starting it may be dangerous for you to be lifting a weight that’s heavy enough to do 4-8 reps with. 8-12 reps will get you used to the feeling whilst building muscle and avoiding injury. A progression may be to change your rep ranges to 4-8 reps.

Warm up sets should be lighter, with more repetitions and at a faster tempo. Do not go anywhere near muscular failure. Your set should feel like you could have done another 5-10 reps.

Go to muscular failure on your working sets (failure = not being able to perform one more positive repetition)

Beginners – Do 2 working sets to get used to how it should feel going to muscular failure. The tempo for your working set should be more controlled. More explosive on the positive – slower on the negative portion. E.G – Bench Press’ positive movement is when you push the bar up. Negative is when the bar is on its way down to your chest.

Intermediates – Once you know how muscular failure feels 1 working set is enough.

If all of this sounds confusing, I’d highly recommend grabbing a complete muscle building program to kick-start your muscle building journey the right way and avoid mistakes – My highest recommendation goes to Vince Delmontes No Nonsense Muscle Building which provides a complete guide on not only nutrition but workouts, theory and more with which you can build muscle fast.
