If you YouTube Mentzer, you’ll inevitably come across the videos of Mike training Boyer Coe in high intensity fashion. Coe actually worked with Arthur Jones and nautilus for some time. But he didn’t really believe in the HIT way of training. In the recent Shawn ray interview (link below, go to 28:30) he mentions that the “shorter is better” training philosophy was just a marketing ploy. My question is: if HIT works better, clearly Boyer would’ve seen this, as he had access to some of the best trainers and equipment while working for Nautilus right? Could it be that some people just don’t respond well to HIT? Video link: https://youtu.be/i4PZ5yPIq5M?si=xKirebtHe1TcTzda

Can you do a cardio session in between days you lift when using HIT regiment? My profession, I.e. first responder, requires me to run to certain situations on the job

So my left pectoral muscle hasn’t been feeling good, feel like I’m not hit new PRs; I’m wondering if I need a week or two from hitting it heavy and what I should do in the meantime
