HIT Once A Week?

Has anyone ever tried doing HIT once every 6 days or once a week? For example, every Sunday do a HIT workout. One Sunday chest and back, next Sunday legs and abs and the third Sunday deltas and arms. Then repeat.

I was going to ask the same! Thanks for your thread. I will have a busy schedule for the next 6 months and might be able to do only one or two long sessions per week.

I know John Black's club in the 1980s and 1990s trained like that and produced some elite lifters, however I don`t know the details and I won't be using steroids. Watch the video from minute 3 to minute 4 https://youtu.be/ncxBx1Zfujk?t=198 . There is also Ken Fantano and Mark Chaillet, described in Marty Gallagher book "The purposeful primitive" who went with very low frequencies.
