Does the high intensity training (HIT) work-out, founded by Arthur Jones, work?

I am looking for muscle growth and I have never used a particular schedule before. The high-intensity training schedule caught my eye due to the way it encourages you to lift weights relatively close (80%) to your one rep max and the small amount of time it takes.

Arthur Jones’ high intensity training principles have been used successfully by dozens of college and professional sports teams and tens of thousands of personal trainers around the world. They are the basis for the strength training recommendations of national personal training organizations like the American College of Sports Medicine and American Council on Exercise.

I have trained people for a living for nearly two decades, including everyone from middle-aged housewives and the elderly to professional athletes using HIT and it has proven to be more effective, more time efficient and safer than anything else out there.

Here are some general guidelines (from http://baye.com/what-is-high-intensity-training/ )

The following general guidelines for high intensity training are based on the original Nautilus training principles of Arthur Jones. These guidelines are also consistent with the current resistance training recommendations of the American College of Sports Medicine and American Council on Exercise. It should be kept in mind that these are only general guidelines, and the specific volume and frequency of training and exercise selection should be modified to suit the individual, based on their current level of conditioning, response to exercise, and goals

Training Frequency: Two or three sessions per week on non-consecutive days.

Training Volume: Perform between eight and twelve exercises addressing all major muscle groups.

Number of Sets: Perform one set per exercise.

Number of Repetitions: Use a level of resistance that will allow for the performance of between 8 and 12 slow, controlled repetitions.

Progression: Increase the resistance by approximately 5 percent whenever 12 repetitions can be performed in strict form.

Repetition Speed: Move slowly enough to maintain strict control over the movement and to be able to reverse direction smoothly. Avoid fast, jerky movements.

Range of Motion: Use a full range of joint movement.
