He actually squat jumped from area to area. And the weight listed were in kilos, not lbs. And he had spent the whole day and night before drinking. And he hadn’t eaten a carb in 43 years. And he wore one of those paint respirator “altitude trainers”. And he did this routine 3 times a day while also eating/gagging on a mixture of heavy cream, raw eggs, whole milk, and 98 dessicated liver pills through a crumpled up bendy straw.

You do realise that Casey didn’t train like that all the time? He also only trained like that for a very short period of time in his career. Most of his workouts were longer ,and had higher volume, and he took lots of steroids.
Casey had a bunch of books , and manuals published before he died. They are very good and give a more balanced view of what he did to build his body. They are still available on his website.
I think the best question this forum can now focus on is whether Viator would choose to fight one polar-bear-sized goose or 20 geese-sized polar bears and whether Jones would have to scream at Viator for Viator to be able to defeat his chosen opponent.

Next round is on me, guys.

I definitely believe Jones had him do over load negatives with the polar bear size goose. While screaming at him.

How would that low volume, (assumed) low frequency lactate circuit training create muscle growth in well trained individuals?
(Max lolz if the answer is it won’t 
)
I can see how that lactate training would work well as:
- The lactate & GH releasing element of a training week that included heavy lifting, high weekly volume…
Either doing the Viator circuit as a finisher at the end of a workout after heavy lifting.
Or the Viator circuit being a separate workout, say Mon: 5 sets x 5 reps, Wed: 10 sets of 3 reps, Fri: Viator lactate training.
HAHAHAHA!!
750 pound weight srack on that
Jeez, this thread was PROPHETIC.

Its a well documented and witnessed fact that Casey Viator once jumped the world’s longest rope for one rep of such intensity that when his feet impacted the ground the Earth gave birth to the moon.
Need proof? Look up in the sky tonight. See that big white ball? That’s the moon.
I rest my case.

Can you name a routine after someone who never did it?
Thanks everyone!
Now I know why HIT doesn’t resonate that well with the forum. It almost sounds like the threadstarter was on something? Is he still on here?
My take on HIT is an entirely different story, a more modest approach. Works wonders for me - but - I am sure a lot of other routines would also.

I love that the OP doesn’t even say what the routine is lmao
And only the mythical Greek God of Legend, Casey Viator was strong enough to complete it and no mortal has dared since! We must not speak of the actual routine, lest we blow out our hamstrings, tear our quads, and lose all of our gains even mentally considering the poundages and forbidden exercises!! Please don’t tell me he used… dare I even say it… the entire weight stack on a selectorized leg press!!!

Well, if I had met enough HIT-people acting this way, I would have chosen a different direction. Where did planethealth go? (Or did he spell it planethealh?). He always talked about some mysterious “max pyramid” solution to mankinds quest for hypertrophy…

I love Planet Healh threads lol reading his method of static contracting 300 pounds on the leg Press every 10 days made me almost jacked enough to try The impossible Arthur Jones Leg routine!

And we haven’t even started!
Did anyone mention the extraterrestrial accomplishments by Mike Mentzer (not even mentioning his brother here)? I heard rumors of him lifting the above mentioned pyramid before Ronnie Coleman was even born!
