We are all doing HIT in my opinion through weight training.
It amazes me who often this is overlook.

Absolutely false. The benefits are entirely different.

You don't think you can gear a weight training session towards HIIT?
Oh yes, I do think you can. In fact, I've been trying to lately myself. I just assumed he was talking about standard bodybuilding routines.
How would you do this? Higher rep sets followed by 90-120sec rests?

I’ve been trying a few things. One of which is a superset or tri-set, followed by 90 seconds rest. It’s really challenging.
The workout I listed above briefly is just as you described. It would get my heart rate up where I wanted it...and I could drop weight while not doing any cardio even with using a small calorie deficit.Absolutely. You could combine a push, a pull, and a squat exercise into one giant set (e.g., bench, inverted rows, and squats--all with intensities to yield perhaps 12 or more reps per exercise) with minimal rest and you'd have a very high heartrate in no time.
Ok question- why would you want to HIIT your weights? Just a different way of doing HIIT?, training stubborn body parts?
I know i tried the FST7 awhile back to try and help my back when I felt I wasn't progressing. Very similiar- high reps, fast sets, minimal rest, but I didn't feel I was getting quality lifts...
HIIT with weights would be a good choice for fat loss and endurance.
It would be a poor choice for hypertrophy, however, considering the recent studies that have shown more rest between sets = more hypertrophy/strength.
Interesting- lighter weights faster sets- almost like a runner or a model routine, rather than a guy looking for size. That's how I'm understanding it- admittedly, I would have to read some more for it. Thanks for the answer nothuman
Debatable. I agree if thinking of heavy squats, deads, etc. But everything else, no.
If you think lifting is HIIT, then you aren’t doing HIIT correct.

In my limited understanding
HIT - all out blast then rest
My weight training sessions
All out blast - working sets controlled and explosive last 30-40 seconds then rest.
HR spikes pretty high during all workouts.
Feels like a HIT workout I did during uni.
Maybe your not lifting hard enough ??

In terms of all out intensify for a set using controlled negative n explosive positives working just maximal failure sets after warm ups.
Monitoring rest periods for 60-90 seconds.
I don’t see how doing this isn’t HIT training ?

I never mentioned lighter weights. My program is based on power lifting. My rep ranges are in the 3-5 range with multiple sets. But I feel like progression in general is the key...whether it be strength or volume. You subject the body to either one and feed yourself accordingly. If I hit my reps and weight for my weekly setup, I automatically adjust the weight and move up for the next week's programmed lifts.Interesting- lighter weights faster sets- almost like a runner or a model routine, rather than a guy looking for size.
