My understanding of it is when your real workout starts, warm ups not included…really all I was getting at with this was the fact that shorter workouts are probably better in terms of having more hormones left to use for recovery. I saw a guy once that told me he never did a rep once the speed slows down with a given weight and rarely worked out for more than 30 minutes & he had a physique most guys would love, very strong too. I know Jim Wendler used to say his favorite accessory was leaving after the main exercise.
I think Mentzer had the right idea about hitting it super hard and leaving. The low frequency he advocated is where I think he went off track.

A lot of HIT/HD guys have the right base idea, but the wrong application.

thanks ct
the term “stimulus addict” has taught me well. and without it, i’d probably just keep “spitting into the wind”
i just wrote this at the end of my session today:
“here is where i use to keep going to get destroyed, so NOW, here is where i stop, and 30 minutes later i am super energized and psyched.
i totally understand “stimulus addict” cause right now, i want to go back to gym.”
CT ,what you mean-" wrong application" ?

Beaucoup de gars HIT / HD ont la bonne idée de base, mais la mauvaise application.
Je suis d’accord
