Drew Baye is one of the top high intensity training experts. He's also a prolific writer, researcher, and elite level personal trainer and the founder of Baye.com, the most popular high intensity training blog.

In this episode, Drew and I go right back to basics. If you are a beginner to high intensity strength training and/or a little confused about how it differs from conventional resistance training, you will find this really valuable. However, even advanced HIT trainees or trainers will find this a very helpful reminder on how to make the most of a HIT workout.

In this episode, we cover:

What is HIT?
How to construct workouts
How to perform exercises
How to measure progress
How to manage volume and frequency
... and much more

I had an epiphany during the conversation: improvements on paper are not the goal. Mastering the workout is the goal. Improvements in the numbers on the paper are a by-product and not a goal.

In The 4-Hour Body, the author, Tim Ferriss featured Drew to demonstrate how it’s possible to get to 3-4% body fat with no “cardio”.
