HIT training is a form of resistance training – High Intensity Training
HIIT is a very effective form of cardio – High Intensity Interval TrainingResistance training is the best way to train on any diet protocol. How much and what form is highly individualized based on what goals you have set out for yourself.

Careful with HIT training, as it’s an advanced technique that doesn’t work that well with CBL and CNS.
Keep your cardio to HIIT, as explained by Rob.
The resistance training plan we suggest is Shockwave.

I am curious why they say HIT doesn’t work well with CBL, I know Kiefer says in the book its purely eccentric training, but this is false. The Yates form and early Menzter form uses concentric like any other protocol just emphasises a slower negative range to help load the muscle. I have always used HIT and very successfully. Plus the shockwave template is almost the exact same workout split and exercises as Yates’ blood and guts HIT training, just with a couple different techniques for intensity like the PSR. But the way you perform a rep (ELECT) is almost exactly what Yates advises! ✌🏻️💪🏻
It just works less well. There is a version of shockwave called the Heavy Duty program that uses a lot of eccentrics. The major issue is that eccentrics dampen the GLUT responses and induce a lot of muscle damage. It’s a great form of training though not optimal with CBL or CN.
I agree with Coach T. I think you’ll find just as I did many moons ago when I did some HIT that you will plateau quickly and even fall backward into an over-trained state if you are not very careful.
Guys like Yates and Metzner were elite athletes and SED users which allowed them to recover much quicker than the average Joe.
Plus even the average Joe on SED can eat more food than a natty before gaining fat.The eyes can't see what the mind doesn't understand.
Interesting! I see what your saying but Kiefer seems to think that Blood and guts is solely Eccentric training which is incorrect.
Correct me if an wrong but the ELECT way of performing a rep is to accentuate the eccentric then explode into the concentric, tho Mentzers way is a lot slower in the negative, this is exactly how Yates performs his HIT reps! So blood and guts seems to me to be very very similar to shockwave just with a little more focus on not overtraining by using the levels system shockwave has. Good replies.
