Question for Big A

I was going threw some old thread and one post was about H.I.T training and you noted that you do as many as you can and then 1 negative and thats it. No rest pause or forced reps?

I don't usually have a training partner, so I can't do forced reps, etc. Besides, the muscle has already failed if I can't complete another full rep, the way I look at it anyway.

So I guess then that you would need 100% focus. Is you can do 10 reps but you only do 8 and I negative that = nothing?

Correct. If you can do 10 reps, then do 10 reps and a negative on the last rep.
