Questions About High Intensity Low Volume Training
My weight training experience is with high volume (exercise videos such as The Firm) or gym workouts of 3 sets/10 to 15 reps. I've seldom reached failure other than on triceps. I have read up on high intensity low volume training and tried it once for each body part just this week. I don't feel like I'm doing it right becasue I don't feel like I'm doing much at all. I did get upper body soreness but not lower. My questions:
What are some of the common mistakes beginners make?
While personal training is always best, I don't think its always "that much best" when you really need to spend your money on food and rent. For high intensity training, does the need for a personal training increase in importance? Is it harder to "do it right" simply by reading and experimenting?
