Bruce's workout is a good one to, I'm doing a few exercises from his program,thanks for any insights on Drew's Project Kratos. Well, I would think the primary appeal of Project Kratos is how Baye applies HIT principles to bodyweight exercises. Which seems simple enough in retrospect, but Baye does a really excellent job of providing doable, applicable progressions. In fact, because of the HIT approach, I feel like the progressions are the best I've seen from a bodyweight-focused routine. I've read Convict Conditioning and You are Your Own Gym and Kavadlo's stuff and Ross's stuff. Those are all good resources too, but if you're not 150-lbs, 10-percent bodyfat or less (or just a beast like Ross), almost all of those books (with the exception of YAYOG) provide progressions that are going to get you stuck at some point. Baye's plans and progressions are far more realistic and effective. Baye, for example, doesn't really go over how to get to a one-armed chin-up, probably because the vast majority of people will never achieve a one-armed chin up. Instead, he tells you how to make regular pull-ups/chin-ups more challenging. As I've followed Baye over the years, I certainly don't believe he's 100-percent right about everything, but I think he's always being honest with his audience. The other thing Baye does is provide you Timed Static Contraction alternatives to the various movements. If you're into isometrics, that information is amongst some of the best I've seen, as well. Ross has some good isometric info. But I think Baye's is much more thorough. Of course, he also provides a handful of workout routines, all of which are gold.

Drunken Monkey I forgot to mention You as one of the guys I heard talk about Drew Baye. I have a couple of questions. I did buy Baye's isometric book and think it's pretty good, short and sweet. As someone like myself that has never done HIT, do you get burned out when You first start this? Also, I'm the type of person that can't sit still. Like I'm always doing something whether at work or home. I honestly know nothing about HIT so I'm curious. I kind of like working out everyday so I guess I'm asking if this would be for a hyper personality? How is Your endurance on this program? Do You do something else aerobic wise? You're are right about those books with the progression that eventually a person gets stuck on. Sometimes the next progressions can get You hurt also.

You're are right about those books with the progression that eventually a person gets stuck on. Sometimes the next progressions can get You hurt also. Um... Well, I've been doing HIT for about 4 years now and I haven't gotten burned out. One thing about doing HIT though is learning to listen to your body and, even though this sounds weird, having the nerve to not exercise sometimes. Each person needs to find a level of intensity and the period of rest that works for them. My nature is to do something "balls to the wall" so my HIT workouts are quite intense, and I do need a lot of recovery time before doing another one. But some people may workout with less intensity and may need less recovery time, anyway. But 90-percent of HIT is about experimentation and finding a nice routine that works for you. When I say it takes "nerve" to not exercise, it's because I was just as indoctrinated as anyone else and when I first started doing HIT, I was doing 2x/week and it was hard not to workout at least another two days. And, as I've mentioned before, each time that I've had to extend the recovery time, I've resisted it, still believing that it would be too much time between workouts. But I've been wrong each time. So, the short answer is, "No, no burnout." But the caveat is making sure you're giving yourself enough time to recover. I also like to be active though, so I've typically supplemented my HIT workouts with some gentle activity like yoga, tai chi and Qigong. I don't have a specific number of days per week that I do them. I do them when I feel like doing them. Sometimes it's every day between workouts. Sometimes it may be once or twice between workouts. I also try to go for walks most days. I was a wrestler all the way up into college, and I did martial arts for most of my life, but a torn ACL in 2012 has kind of forced me to ease off on the intensity of the activities I do, anyway. At the end of last year I was running twice per week, instead of doing yoga/qigong/tai chi, but a freak toe injury has stopped that for the time being. Endurance is good. Spectacular, actually. The reason I started running was because someone talked me into doing a Warrior Dash in September and I actually finished in the top 25-percent of my age group despite not having done any running for literally about 10 years. I came in first on my "team" despite being the only person who didn't spend at least 3 months training for it. So I figured if I actually trained a bit, I might be able to have some really good times in those obstacle courses. I attribute my decent performance to HIT training, which, if done right, wipes out your cardiovascular system each workout. Certainly I don't think it was the Yoga or Tai Chi that made me able to run up hills at a decent pace.

I still have the muscle dynamics book, in the past I tried the bodyweight routine but never the bodybuilding routine. I also have body for life, also the dvds. Arnold's book, I have the hardback with a different cover on it. All good books so far, enjoying seeing people's favourite books. Keith. With the muscle dynamics book I did both routine's, I would do Week one: Monday body weight, Wednesday weight's, Friday body weight. Week two: Monday weight's, Wednesday body weight, Friday weight's.
