I don't know if you necessarily need a change, I mean come on, those pullups are awesome, db rows with 130lbs is nothing to sneeze at either, and you kick ass on the deadlifts as well. But just think how much more ass you would kick on deads if you did them while you were fresh and ready to go

Other than that little order switch, if it ain't broke, why fix it, IMO??

I just plan on switching around the order of my exercises.....I might swap out one exercise for another but Pullups/Rows/Deads will be the staple of my back workout.

Thanks for your input!

You gotta be happy with the way the big blue looked on the D side of the ball last night. They still need a little help with Wisconsin and Penn State, though they do play each other next week.

Workouts look great.

See, you Wolverines do have a reason not to hate the Spartans. If you could all just get along.



Posted by: bludevil

nice w/o even if it was out of schedule. Sometimes it's hard mentally to have a good workout when you have your mind set on working specific bodyparts for that day and then you have to go and change the whole routine and the way your thinking. Good job on staying focused.

Jumping rope felt pretty good. Since I was only doing 10 on each leg - then switching legs - it wasn't too bad. I hot-tubed and iced when I got home.

are you going to be doing 5x5 on any other exercises or just bench presses? Good work on moving up, I think you might have shortchanged yourself in the beginning, but that's ok, it's just more practice I guess

Not only does he have good pulling power, but his pushing strength is awesome too, nice job.

I'm just doing 5x5 for bench. I'm going to do it for 6 weeks then switch it up. I'm going to try to vary my rep ranges a little more. I'd like to some low reps sets (3-4), some medium (6-8) and some high rep sets (10 - 12) in most of my workouts.

As far as BB presses go I think I was just out of practice. I've never really been to good at BB presses. The flyes I did were pretty heavy for me. Someone had the 55's and 60's so I grabbed the 65's.

Thanks I was pissed when the power went out...I was working from home when the power went out....I got up early to get it done....I lost 2 1/2 hours of work. It's something that has to be done off hours and "real time" so I could not save anything. I've been working on it again starting at 3PM...

I liked it too Thanks.

great job on the Pull ups!
As bestI ever got was BW + 55 for reps of five....

Ok...u r gonna have to edumacate me on differeence between pull-up and chin-up...both are the same to me...
Lower to almost hanging, the pull up till chin breaks plane where hands are.

I feel like I'm just repeating myself, but here it goes, awesome back workout and I envy the pull-ups.

Hey Burner....For me Pullups are wide grip ( about 3-4 feet apart) with palms facing away from the body. Chinups are - closer grip (about 1 foot apart) and palms facing the body!

BW +55 x 5 is good!!

Posted by: Burner02

gotcha-
I normally go as wide as I can. While I am getting my strength back up, I will do the suppinated grip pull ups.
it used to be a good weight. Can't do it right now...am building back up to it.
Once I can get my 50 reps within 5 sets for a couple workouts, THEN I will start adding in weight...just how I do it.

Great job on the pull-ups Glad the back is doing better! How is the ankle?

Thanks for the kind words AA. My AT feels good so far. I haven't attempted to sprint yet. I see my doc for a follow-up visit on Monday. I'll see what he says.

I'm picturing a tackling dummy that you try to push for a distance with weights on a cable. If it is different, someone should make one like that. It'd be great for power training.

Thats just like my Powertec
10 plates + 65lbs for 4 reps is the best I've done. Got a ways to go to get back to that . That many plates looks scary hanging there

Nice job on the full recovery. Lot's of discipline to work within acceptable ranges when you really want to go all out.

Now that it's over, why don't you get your ass in the gym and pull some real numbers! HaHa, that could be frightening.

DBs are a completely different animal than barbell. Amazingly the difference is very striking...for example, on a barbell bench press, I can probably do 275 for 6, but with dbs yesterday I did 115 for 8 reps. So that's 230lbs total, and I know you can't compare it this way, but that's 45 pounds difference, so what's my point? if you are benching 225, then 95 pound dbs are great, you are so in the ballpark, so don't worry, it's not shitty

how do you like doing these? Do you feel they are really good? Cause I like the 10 minute part, lol, cause I fricken HATE doing cardio, and if you get a good enough cardio workout in those 10 minutes, I might have to try something like that....

I'll probably run for 4 weeks and decide if it's working for me or not. If so, then I'll run for another 4 weeks. If not, then I'll probably go back to P/RR/S.

To "posterize" someone would be to make a play worthy enough to be printed on a poster (ala: a dunk over someone flat footed on the ground)

To "nutmeg" someone is to be dribbling the ball toward someone - then as they widen their stance to play defense on you - you would dribble the ball between their legs while keeping your dribble and usually on your way to a layup.

Nice on the standing BB Press! I keep thinking to do these once in a while, but forget and do something else...maybe this weeks' delt workout...



Posted by: bludevil

Speaking of posterize, did you see Vince Carter dunk over Alonzo Mourning last week. Man talk about nasty. Speaking of dunks and posterizing, nastiest dunk I ever saw was by Dantay Jones (Duke Basketball player), defensive player was standing flat footed and Dantay dunked over him, one hand palming the ball, and the other hand holding his nuts. Gotta hate when you get the "nutz in ya face".



Posted by: yellowmoomba

I didn't see those dunks but here's one of VC over a 7 footer in the 2000 Olympics

POSTERIZE



Posted by: bludevil

yeah the only time I can even think of doing something like that is when I lower the goal down to about 8 feet and me and the other guys have dunk-fest on each other.

Speaking of Alonzo Mourning getting posterized, did you ever see Phil Henderson (Duke, probably in 1989, regional finals I think) Dunk over him. I was a huge Phil and Duke fan back then and that was a posterize! Look it up if you can find it. It was spetacular since he is only about 6'-4".

I know it was only the bar, but good to see you squatting again! Hopefully you'll be able to get back to throwing a couple of plates on each side in the near future. I'm anxious to see the full body routine you whip up. You usually make interesting combinations with the occasional speed/power work and complex movements thrown in. Rock on.

- Jump Squats are tough

As far as the game goes....The players were average - at best - so on defense I forced my man left on every possession. He was quick so I laid off of him so he would not cross me over. He made two jump shots and got a rebound. I made my first shot then missed 3 or 4 shots from behind the three point line. The guys on my team didn't seem like they wanted to shoot much. I tried pick and rolls and standard picks but they didn't want to use them I ended up making my last three shots - all from behind the arc - to win the game...12 -10 ........Playing 5's will be a little different. I'll try full court next week. It felt good playing though



Posted by: yellowmoomba

So I looked at my journal from November of 2004. I started a HIT program at the end of November 2004......I'm going to try it again (with a few modifications). I "guesstimated" the weights and reps.

I'll be taking at least one day off in between each workout. I should be doing three workouts a week along with one day of basketball. I scrapped doing deadlifts for a while. My low back is causing me some problems. It's not a big deal (now) but I don't want it to be.

Any comments??

did you actually start this yet, or is this your new "plan" of attack?

How did you respond to this the first time you did it? I think I have a serious mental block just doing only one set per exercise. I thought about designing a 3 day full body routine, but then when I looked at it, I realized it was too much switching between bodyparts, and I am sure I would tire quickly going from squats, to a bench press, to a T-bar row, to a shoulder press, etc. So I scrapped the idea and am sticking with what I am doing now.



Posted by: Pylon

Looks like a great program, YM. I'm curious as to the placement of the lower body work. The first two days it is near the early middle, then you lead off with it the thrid day. Any reason?

So I've been doing HIT for 4 weeks now. I've seen some pretty good gains as listed below.

Prior to HIT...........................4 weeks later
Trap Bar Deadlift 405 x 3.................415 x 7
Incline HS Press 240 x 5.................260 x 8
Squats.............225 x 15.................225 x 21
SLDL................245 x 9..................255 x 10
Deep Squat Jump.25 jumps x 20 lbs....25 jumps x 35 lbs
CG Smith Press...205 x 8..................225 x 6
Upright Row.......115 x 10.................115 x 15
DB Front Raise....30 x 10...................30 x 15


I can't compare my Weighted Dips or Weighted Pullups since I was using much heavier weights before HIT. I'll find out the difference when I switch back to my old routine.

Things I've noticed:

Cons -

1) I don't like being in the gym for only 30 minutes.
2) My shoulders are starting to act up since I'm doing a press movement three times a week.
3) Didn't break much of sweat compared to past workout programs.

Pros -

1) Great gains
2) Nice change of pace
3) Great workout if you are pressed for time

Thanks...No reason - I just wanted to seperate my major compound exercises. We'll see how it goes

Good luck with it. I like HIT a lot, for the record, mostly for the time savings and amount of intensity you can get into.

Looks like a good plan of attack to me, looks similar to what I'm doing. Good luck
