Frequently asked questions
What does HIRT stand for?
High-Intensity Resistance Training — weightlifting done with high volume and minimal rest to build muscle while burning fat.
How is HIRT different from HIIT?
HIIT is interval cardio; HIRT keeps the high-intensity, short-rest structure but centers it on resistance training with weights.
Is HIRT good for fat loss?
The high-volume, minimal-rest style keeps the heart rate up and burns a lot of energy, so it's often used for building muscle and cutting fat at once.
