22 reviews for Dorian Yates High Intensity Training (HIT) Program
Dorian Yates is one of the greatest legends in bodybuilding. He was considered the first "mass monster" in bodybuilding and won the revered Mr. Olympic title 6 times in a row from 1992 to 1997.
Dorian Yates popularized High Intensity Training, also known as HIT. It's a unique training style where you give it your 110% effort on only 1 working set per exercise. This is different from most training programs where you do multiple sets per exercise.
Dorian Yates workout program is 6 days per week, with the following splits:
Day 1: Shoulders, Triceps and Abs
Day 2: Back and Rear Delts
Day 3: Rest Day
Day 4: Chest, Biceps and Abs
Day 5: Rest Day
Day 6: Quadriceps, Hamstrings and Calves
Day 7: Rest Day

Good upper body split as you get good arm volume in only 4 sessions. Also pressing twice with chest and shoulder presses For lower body deadlifting twice once on back and once on legs so good for posterior chain Might need more leg sessions if your legs are a weakness and you are not heavy lifting

Just started but been doing HIT for a while. Disappointing that one can't switch the days around.

Great base program with all the desired principles in place. Minor modifications were made for lagging muscle groups.

Been doing me well, easy to keep an eye on your previous weeks sets and progressively overloading each week

Actually is working very well for me nearly 8 weeks in. I’m definitely upper intermediate and gains don’t come super easily. That being said, I’ve PRd nearly every lift week to week. I’ve definitely put on mass in specific areas. I believe this may be working so well for me because I was coming from a higher volume higher frequency approach. Your mileage may vary. However, I’m starting to be sold on the lower volume lower frequency but high intensity approach. Will continue 12-16wks before I make up my mind for sure.
