15 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

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.

Great program that has provided more than expected strength gains. After I had reached a plateau I tried this program and within 4 weeks I’ve broken several PR’s

Exercises are good. Makes a change from a normal PPL split. Rest days work really well around sport etc. Number of sets just a bit strange for some exercises. Bit awkward in the gym when you are doing one set of something. Fun though !

Good program but workouts might be a bit lengthy depending on how much you rest.
