Check out this link. It’s the orientation video that HIT specialists show to new inductees regarding the perils of maximal weight training. (Caution: Some scenes may be disturbing for users of Nautilus machines).
Ouch, God i had better be more careful next time i do some olympic lifting! Where did you find this site?

One of my athletes found the clip and sent me the link. I’ve seen these clips before on America’s Funniest Home Videos (not that I watch the show).
I posted this because one of my athletes who was trained at a “HIT” university said the S&C coach would show videos of people getting hurt doing Olympic lifts to “scare” them into believing in the sHIT philosophy.
I guess they want you to take the message home that if you lift this way, you may have a cat attatched to your sack, or a kid may come out of nowhere and hit you in the face with a shovel… :eek:
HIT huh? Riiiiiiiight… 
Not buying into it!!
Great day, any type of lifting can be dangerous if you don’t know what yer doing. I’m so sick and frickkin tired of hearing that OL’s are “too dangerous” and too hard to learn. Bull. We’re talking about lifting weights here, not rocket science. My little brother went through a HIT phase and got nothing to show for it.
Exactly… Good point Heatwave. Thats a pretty cool avatar you got goin now…
Speaking of college football, does anyone know if any major programs are using HIT instead of olympic lifts? I’ve been in some OL competitons with one of the strength coaches for the Tennessee vols and he told us about what they’re football team does and it is very basic with emphasis on OL’s. I believe Texas is the same way.
I believe the two that come to mind are Michigan, Michigan State…
Michigan, Penn State, and I believe U of Cincinatti. Michigan State stopped using sHIT back in the summer of 2004. Check thread titled “Michigan madness.”
