Yes that’s the case although I’m mainly inferring that from increases in my 10RM. I only lift above my 10RM once in a blue moon due to joint and tendon issues. My focus is primarily hypertrophy, strength gains are a (necessary) side effect, and as stated above I don’t believe HIT is optimal for hypertrophy or strength but it certainly does work, you do see measurable gains, and it is very efficient when you think about what you achieve compared to the time you spend in the gym. I read a study on hypertrophy sometime, this is from memory so don’t quote me on the actual figures, that showed one hard set equated to value 1 for muscle growth while five hard sets equated to 1.3 (with 2 to 4 sets in between). Now every meat head knows 30% more muscle is a lot of muscle but if it requires five times the effort? Yes, definitely still worth it haha But not for everybody.
