To keep in touch with my brother (Camarosuper6) who is moving up north, and because I know of very few HIT trainees round' here, I will post my progress doing my traditional Mike Mentzer Heavy Duty routine.
I am a type one diabetic who has been doing HIT for roughly a year. I use nutritional timing with my insulin shots (70 grams/dextrose, 50 grams protein) to further my recover time. I do one set to failure. I do a three day split.
Workout one
Squats
Calf-raises
Weighted sit-ups
Any of several grip exercises
Workout two
Bench Press
Close-grip press
Bent Rows
Deadlifts
Pull-ups
Workout three
Military Press
Behind the back Shrugs
Concentrated Curls
Tricep Pulldowns (superset dips)
Dips
I am currently operating on a calorie deficit in an attempt to get my weight to (roughly) 215 pounds. I currently weigh in at 219.8 pounds. I'm not going to post my diet because I record that in small notebook and don't feel it necessary to transfer that to the internet.
Relevant measurements (in inches):
Thigh: 26 3/4
Calf: 16 3/4
Chest: 49
Arms: 18
Forearms: 14
Neck: 16 1/2
Waist: 33 3/4
Hips: 36 (slightly under)
By the end of the year goals:
Military Press (free weight) : 235 x 8
Deadlift: 600 x 4
Squat: 445 x 18
Bench: 305 x 8
Waist: 32 inches
Of course I welcome any suggestions or insight that might be deemed helpful.
