4 Day High Intensity Training (HIT) Split Inspired by Dorian Yates

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This is the exact routine I was taught way back in the early 2000s from all the oldschool guys who both trained with and learned from Dorian. The Midlands in the UK was obsessed with all things Dorian throughout that period of time, and we all made good gains. I don't want this routine to be lost to time, so here it is for your benefit, just like I did back then.

This routine is composed of 4 seperate sessions, and is mostly a bodypart split with minimal overlap. Due to the nature of the routine, it mandates both a willingness and an ability of the user to push themselves extremely hard. That is why this routine is meant for intermediates and beyond.

Beginners can still prosper on this routine as the volume is low, but they would be better off with a higher frequency such as my Full Body or Upper Lower routines available on this platform.

Volume & Intensity

The volume is low, and for it to work your intensity needs to be super high. Take all sets to failure where safe to do so, and if it is not safe to fail (such as Squats and Deadlifts) then go until 0RiR.

Sets/Reps

Generally one all out set with 2-3 additional forced reps, and 2-3 negatives was the standard prescription for every working set. I think this is a LOT and should only be done if you can stomach it, and have a partner you can trust. A safer and potentially more palatable option is to simply take the first set to failure (or 0RIR where appropriate), and follow that with a second set for higher repetitions. The now-classic 'top set/back off set' method which has been popularised in recent years. Deadlifts always include only one set done simply to 0RIR, and Leg Press/Hack Squats never included negatives and would only include 1-2 forced reps as the potential for something to go wrong was too high.

Warm Ups

Part of working up to higher intensities is the willingness and knowledge to thoroughly warm up. Yes this is different from what you hear from some HIT circles now, but I am telling you what we were taught back then and we all performed extensive warm ups before the main set. Aside from the usual progressive warm up on each exercise I would also recommend you all perform the specific warm up protocol I list in this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcWpGy8qMSo

Upper warm ups to be done on every upper day, and lower warm up to be done on the lower day. I would also include some back extensions prior to the back day if you are going to include a heavy hinge. The overall volume is low, so take your time, warm up thoroughly and make each working set count.

Weight should be added when you have reached the top of the rep range. However you can also simply maintain the weight for another week or two and allow the set to feel better. I was taught very early on, to improve you can either get stronger or you can 'get better' and that really resonated with me. So feel free to stick to a given weight for another session or two to really master it before you move on.

More than expected strength gains
More than expected muscle gains
No modifications
Fantastic program that really teaches you to go truly all out. Doing 2 sets per exercise to failure. Strength going up every workout and gaining surprising amounts of muscle already within four weeks. Thanks Dorian and Faz.

Marginal modifications
Good program but a little shorter than I like. Would run about 25 minutes with minimal rest. I added sets at times.
