So, if my fitness is geared mainly towards biking and playing Ultimate [Frisbee], both of which demand strong legs and would rather less weight elsewhere on my body, since “the ones you do earlier, those muscle groups are going to progress a little bit faster,” (1:23:10) then it would be to my advantage to always do the squat/leg press one first, and then move the other 4 around based on which ones I did the worst on the previous, yes?

Hmm, yeah, total nonsense. Read The Vegetarian Myth.

The man has some useful information to teach, however he is completely blinded by his believes as well. His anti vegetarian propaganda and obsession with meat will be his downfall spiritually and physically.

unfortunately, until you pay for it and feel the pain, you will not learn anything.

Thanks for the positive feedback, I’m glad everybody got something out of the presentation.

As for breath holding, gritting the teeth, etc., not all HIT trainers discourage this, and the ones who do have different reasons for it. The main reason to avoid breath holding (val salvas maneuver, actually) is risk of exercise induced headache. This is more of an issue with slower reps, since the tendency is for people to perform val salva during the lifting movement, the longer the lifting phase the longer the breath holding, the bigger the possibility of EIH. This was more of a problem with SuperSlow (10 seconds lifting, 10 lowering) than with other repetition methods, possibly due to the VERY long lifting movement.

Gritting the teeth, gripping, etc. is more of a nervous system and concentration thing. Some believe doing so distracts from intensity of contraction in the target muscles, others don’t think it’s a big deal, and some recommend gripping hard as a way of creating “radiant tension” gripping harder causes other muscles in the upper arms, shoulders, etc. to contract harder. I don’t believe gripping is a problem for most people. If you AREN’T gripping hard during pulling exercises, you’re probably not using enough weight.

The exceptions are people with high blood pressure – for them gripping might be problematic during some exercises involving large muscle groups because gripping hard can cause BP to increase more than it would from the exercise alone.
