Slow Movement High Intensity Strength Training is an exercise philosophy and an exercise protocol. Nautilus and MedX founder Arthur Jones developed portions of the theory underlying this philosophy. The Nautilus philosophy was to slow down the rep speed, thereby eliminating force, the main cause of injury. The theory has been refined and developed to include all forms of slow-movement training.


Having used HIT for about 3 months over the summer, i saw very good gains.

Has anyone else used this and enjoyed the "high intensity"?

I wasn't convinced when I read Jones' book, but I figured I'd give it a try. On my chest routine, I switched from 25 plyometric push-ups and 25 elevated push-ups to as many slow elevated push-ups as I could do (4s down, 4s up). I was surprised when I could only do about ten or so. I added 3-4 negatives (knees up, 8-10s down) at the end, and I was done, I mean DONE, with my chest after one set.

I do all my exercises this way now.

Now one caveat, you have to know what you're doing. You have to have been working out for long period of time to really understand how your muscles feel. If you haven't, you might use the wrong amount of weight, and do too few or too many repetitions. The method is a refined form of working your muscles to failure, and you might not know what that really feels like if you haven't been weight lifting very long.

I recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different from the old 3X8-10 style. The nicest thing about it is the speed of your workout. 10-15 minutes and you're done.
