Does anyone one here have a track record using HIT. It was a philosophy that was developed by Arthur Jones and popularized and perfected by Mike Mentzer and Ellington Darden. Basically, you only work out only once to a maximum of 3 times per week for no more than 20 minutes per workout.

The idea is that you go to failure for each set that you do. You only do one set per routine. And you only do 8 to 10 routines which collectively work your entire body (no split routines). Also, you don't rest between routines/sets thus keeping your heart rate up the entire time you're working your muscles.

Anyone tried this? Can you share your experiences? Claims of 20 pound fat losses in a month are promised for this workout system. True?
