Body for Christ p.1 (Fish's Hybrid-HIT Cutter)

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)




Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Heyo, guys.

Lately, I've been thinking about how one's body is The Temple of The LORD, and, thusly, we should care for it as such. Tearing down the remnants of a life that is no longer ours, and building up something new, that is pleasing to the eyes of The LORD. I intend my body to stand as a testament to the power of The LORD, his might, and the aesthetics that the human body can display. The LORD's hand is artful and wise, creating something that can be so incredible. But, one is not simply handed such a thing, it is hard earned.

In any case, I am planning a 2 month HIT cutter, with a nice slow bulk in between, and a final cutter. I am doing this for my senior pictures, and for a bodybuilding comp that I intend to compete in. I have yet to decide which comp I want to go to, as they havent posted comp times or places yet. Anyhow, the lengths of the bulk and the 2nd cutter depend on my BF percentage by the end of my bulk, and the date of the competition.

I picked HIT because of the time one must invest in other routines, and because the actual lifting portion has a very strong cardio effect, so I wont be wastin so much time in the gym .

My split is the same as my final P/RR/S split, mostly because I enjoyed working calves and traps twice a week. MON: DELTS, CALVES, ABS, FOREARMS. TUES: BACK (upper and lower, angel deads, baby!) TRAPS, TRIS. WED: OFF. THURS: LEGS, CALVES, FOREARMS. FRI: CHEST, BIS, TRAPS. Im going to utilize several different variations on HIT, including double sets, and varied rep ranges, a la P/RR/S.

Archie has offered to help me out with my HIT-ing, and I will certainly be utilizing it...

And speaking of Big Archangel, Mad props to him for devising this routine.

Yes sir Brother Fish, you know I'll be right along with ya!!! Love the Title, and any help I can be, I'm all yours my Friend!!!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

didnt get to work out tonite, ... Gym owner was at the football game. Poo... Maybe tomorrow morning, after Im done with running around between businesses, trying to get hired, lol. I have a friend at this neat lil pasta n pizza place in town, and they are hiring in the kitchen. Gonna have to wear a hat/hairnet, but who cares? Money is money... And thats why Im doin HIT, cuz time is money... And i like me some moooney.



Posted by: Rissole

Love the new journal bro, and the opening statment
So your gonna compete hey....??? Sure you wanna do that??



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Is that mockery, or a questioning of my fortitude? LOL, I kid, it's gotta be tough, but, I think itd be a good experience... I can definitely see where you are coming from, though. From what you say, its pretty tiring. I need to put a new pic up, maybe next weekend... My back is A LOT Thicker, I have lil striations in my mid back!!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

BTW, if any of you are going to be in the treasure valley (idaho, near Boise) Give me a holler a week or so in advance, I have 4 Golds Gyn VIP passes that are good for 10 days, and... Yeah...



Posted by: Rissole

Yeah just saying its alot of hard work Just don't get too fat during your bulks, I had to come down from 25% and reckon i lost some muscle doing it. Try and stick around 12-14% then it won't be so tough. But i'm sure you can do it



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

HOLY FREAKIN POOP, 25%???? HOW DID YOU DO IT?!! Thats nuts! Im gonna be doin a slow bulk, (300-400 excess cals a day) because I pretty readily put fat on. Im gonna be hittin up the R-ALA, and some Lean Green, man, that stuff is the most potent green tea on the market... lol... I sound like a drug dealer.



Posted by: Rissole

Diet bud all diet...
R-ALA (steriods...??)
Yeah been talkin to my bro about green tea, he loves it.... Was gonna get some today but spent all my money on my kids, got them an eye toy for PS2 and we went and say Charlie and the Chocolate factory.... not a good movie to see pre comp



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

ROFL!!! I gotta see me that movie, looks good. Not in theatres here, anymore. R-ALA is the bioavailable form of Alpha Lipoic Acid, good stuff, IMO, Im taking it now... Supposed to help w/ creatine uptake as well, but, I like the stuff as a stand alone, take it w/ pre and post workout shake. I know it be all diet, mah friend... Im tryin to get mine tightened down even more, so I can get MAD lean before I bulk... HIT sounds really neeeeat...



Posted by: Archangel

Brother Fish, I've been thinking on your new routine!!! You can try it for a while, but I wouldn't suggest working out 2 days in a row!!! Brother Pylon can confirm me on this one, if done right (HIT) you WILL NOT want to work out 2 days back to back!!! Not trying to be a know -it-all my Friend, just voicing my concern for you!!! Let me know if I can be of any help!!!
1 suggestion I do have, and I had experimented with the different rep ranges too, was to do this :
1st exercise - 6-8 rep range
2nd - 8-12 rep range
3rd - 12-15 rep range

I have been toying with that one for a while, I also have another rep range routine I'm working on!!! Let me know how your doin and if I can help my Friend!!!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Ill get it figured out once I actually get a feel for the routine... I certainly am not going to totally blow your opinion off, I just want to get some in the trench experience, ya know?



Posted by: Archangel

I understand my Friend!!!



Posted by: DeadBolt

Heya brotha...didn't realize you started this one already!!! Good lookin journal thus far!

Glad to hear your gonna go through with the comp my friend! I wont be doing another one of those for a while....no desire right now.

Well I know nothing about HIT but I'm not to shabby in the diet dept so if ya need any help let me know!

And hey riss don't talk the kid out of it....that was the best thing I ever did was attempt to compete lol....you learn alot about yourself and really how far you can push yourself!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Aww, hes just messin. Hes like, 2 1/2 weeks pre-comp, and I imagine hes havin cravings... Its prolly a tough time.

Yeah, Dead, next time you're online id like to nail out a couple of things w/ my diet.

I've done it a couple of times out of neccesity, but I don't think you'd want to make it part of the plan. You really want the time to recover between sessions, even if you are working different parts. I think your CNS will appreciate it.

Besides, as much as I hate to say it, slotting cardio work between HIT sessions seems to be a really good combo.

You should be careful with those kinda statements, Bolt. You're going to get swamped with PMs by all the lurkers...



Posted by: Pylon

For the record, I think looking at a comp now is a great way to get into your HIT program. Even if you change your mind later, it helps to have a goal like that to keep you motivated.

Good luck. We'll be watching. And if you do get that job, remember, no snacking at work!



Posted by: Spitfire

Whats an eye toy for a ps2?



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Lol, yeah... I know... An eye toy is this weird lil video cam. thing that you use as a controller for certain games.



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Okay, I decided.

SPLIT= tues:chest/back/traps
thurs:legs/abs
sat: tris/bis/delts

or something to that effect, I DEFINITELY START TOMORROW!!!

To late people always PM me....I don't know why LOL. I don't mind at all and if they don't follow my advice thats kewl. IMO I can only help you learn your body.....everyone must learn their own body and find out what works best for them then grow on it with experimentation. I have been doing this for the past 3-4 years and I think all the experimenting has really helped me out to understand the way I react to things.

That's a great way to look at it. Now if only more people were willing to learn how their bodies work...



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Instead of thinking that a rubric will work for everyone... Lol, I understand... IM LEAVIN IN LIKE 15 MINS!!!!! Im excited.



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

OKAY GUYS!!!!

Posted by: FishOrCutBait

The lady even said she said it "doesnt look bad, its just longer than average".

The lady at my bank even goes, "I like your hair like that, it looks good!" Ive never met that teller IN MY LIFE, lol. Come on now folks, at least i dont have my eyes pierced or something... My mom is getting her nose pierced again, though!



Posted by: The_Godfather

Posted by: diffie6382

Hey bro, if I wasn't in the military my hair would still be long and I dang sure wouldn't cut it for Albertson's. The workout looked pretty solid by the way. How long were you in the gym?



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Too long, lol... Prolly like 40 mins, but, that was my first time ever doing anything like that. Im gonna tear it up Archie style next time!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Inlcuding warmup and everything, that is.



Posted by: bludevil

my quads are shredded, but my hams are ok... Lol, i was gassed.



Posted by: Rocco32

Hey, looking great in here Fish! I think Archie was onto something with his HIT variations, nice to see you taking advantage of it also. I think you'll definately see some nice gains doing this

Sounds like you need to work your hams harder, then. Maybe try those dives that Riss is always talking about!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Yeah, last thursday was a crappy ham day... We dont have a dealy for dives, and I dont understand his explanation for making something to do dives...



Posted by: Archangel

How goes it BRother Fish? Hows the HIT Hybrid treatin ya?



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

ARGH!!! Archie, its treatin me great. I need to work on my order of excercises though, deadlifts ARENT ALLOWED TO BE LAST BACK EXCERCISE EVER AGAIN... Ill post yesterdays back/traps/chest when i get back from some HIIT... BB in about 10 mins, guys!!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Back... phew... Asthma was bad today



Posted by: Archangel

I hear you my Friend, when it's HOT my asthma kills me also!!!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Strange, mine is usually OK when its hot, when it's cold, MAN it kills me!!!

HIT, Back/Trap/Chest

10 mins on stationary, increasing intensity

WG lats
135x10
135x2p3 (much better MtM connection)
Neutral grip lats
130x4
130x4 (need to change order... will explain below)
BB rows
105x8
105x3 (underhanded, just to see what Archie is talkin about)
Face pulls
50x10
50x3
Deads
205x6
205x4

25x4p5 (Was prayin on this one!!! That was KILLER!)

Yea, I need to review order of excercises. Deadlifts cannot be done last out of my back excercises, and I need to alternate my other back excercises, I.E, I CANT do both my lat pulldowns in a row, and then both my row type ones in a row. Im also considering putting something in between bench and DB incline.

HIIT: 20 sec (sprint) 10 sec (walk)x7



Posted by: Archangel

Awesome w/o Brother Fish!!! Maybe try this order for your back......
Bent-Over Rows
Nuetral Pulldowns
Deads
WG Pulldowns
I picked this order because the first exercise (Rows) you realy work your lower back also, so you kinda stretch it out on the seconds, and so on!!! Does that even make sense?



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

And then maybe toss the face pulls in? I like em...

Good call, I was worried about hurting my back too. Thanks!



Posted by: Archangel

I personally do face pulls for my Delts, but you can do it for your back too I guess!!! I do Back/Delts/Traps all in the same w/o, so maybe thats why I do them for delts!!! I love the feel of 'em too my Friend!!!

Posted by: Pylon

Why wouldn't you do deads first? Big move, do it when your fresh? Just wondering...



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Well, Ill do em first next time... In any case, I need to change that up... lol



Posted by: b_reed23

lookin good in here Fish! hope your asthma is better



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Thanks for the concern Billie! Thankfully, its really only a nuisance, I dont think it will ever be very serious, which is nice. It just messes me up when I try to go running or something.



Posted by: Archangel

Stay on top of it my Friend!!! I went through a period of time when I thought I was seriously dying, I would have attacks so bad I would black out, sometimes even faint because I couldn't breathe!!! It can be serious BRother Fish, just take care of it!!!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Wow, you have it BAD dont you? Ive never had anything THAT bad. Ive got a leg/ab w/o for you guys when I get home, I dont have time right now, GOTTA GO TA SCHOOOOOOL!!! Got my hair cut for my job, It looks really crappy, I kinda just wanna shave the whole thing.



Posted by: DeadBolt

heya man hows HIT treating you?

Crappy hair cut eh? Bic it!!!!!



Posted by: Pylon

I concur. Go baby seal smooth. Chicks dig it.

Did you see my post in the training section?? Hamstring raises
Set up like that and do like this:


Heya Fishmiester



Posted by: bludevil

Agree with hair, if you don't like it, just shave it off.



Posted by: Archangel

Post somew pics of the new doo my Friend!!!



Posted by: b_reed23

sorry I haven't been around much, I hope all is well



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Aww, thanks guys!!! Actually, my girlfriend fixed it! I think Ill drop by TGF's house and take some new pics next weekend, me and the 'Lyss have been going out for two years as of this monday, so, she and I are hangin out and such...

Cant decide what I should get for her tho...

Thanks for the help with the dives, Riss!! Ill have to find a leg pad dealy on some machine to steal... Thats for another day though. Like tomorrow, after delts/bis/tris.... mmm... Tris...



Posted by: Pylon

2 years, huh? Well, girls like jewelry, but not a ring (she'll take it for more than it is.) Flowers are nice. Perfume is safe.

Of course, the best (IMO) kinda thing is just pack a nice meal, get some candle, a blanket and a CD player, take her to the beach for dinner. Girls love that stuff.



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Lol, I assume I shouldnt bring oats and tuna... Luckily, she is really laid back, so I dont have to worry much. HOWEVER, I do need to go into town and pick up something for her. That and I have some errands to run, lol... TOMORROW is my orientation for my job at Albtertsons, now that Ive sold my soul to corporate America... 11-3, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO EXPLAIN "put de heavy tings on de bottom of de bag, OKAY? Dun put de eggerz on de underneath-side of de cans, OKAY?" Oh, I get to stock shelves, return carts, and scrub toilets, too... FUN.

Posted by: Pylon

Sounds like a good time. I was a professional grocery bagger in my youth as well. BE fast, use both hands, and don't make the bags too heavy. If the place has a salad bar, don't dump over the boc contents getting them in the bags. Um...that's about it.



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Triceps are sore today, will wait and see if bis/delts are sore as well. As i mentioned once before, shock week DOMS doesnt hit me for a while, HIT DOMS sometimes takes til an hour or two after ive woken up to really hit me



Posted by: DeadBolt

Heya bud lookin good.

Hows HIT treating you? I can't wait till I start my prrs man Im so ready LOL! I need to figure out my diet though!!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Hey, in less than 10 days my cutter will be over, and you guys will get some pics! How does that sound?


A big thanks to Archie for help with the new routine, which I start today. I call it...

HIGH INTENSITY P/RR/S

Or "hi-p/rr/s" Basically just P/RR/S with HIT rep cadence and set structure...

Basic rules
1. Double sets for everything
2. 30 sec. maximal rest between 1st set and 2nd set of any excercise
3. 30 sec. max rest between excercises (will set up stations before warm-up)
4. 10 min stationary bike warm-up before every workout
5. attempt to reach positive failure inside specified rep range, on first set only. Second set is same rep cadence, but, attempting as many reps as possible
6. Rotating rep-ranges and rep cadences, like P/RR/S

Now that we have the foundation covered, here be what it is... lol

P WEEK= Rep range of 6-8, rep cadence of 6xXx
RR week= First excercise RR= 8-10 w/ rep cadence of 6-1-2-1, 2nd=10-12 w/ RC of 6-1-2-1, 3rd=13-15 w/ RC of 4-1-2-1, 4th=20-22 w/ rep cadence of 2-1-1-1 (small bodyparts rr= 8-10, 13-15, 20-22, same rep cadences)
S week= for large bodyparts, 2 supersets, rep range of 10-12, rep cadence of 6x2x, 1 dropset (3 sets of given excercise), RR of 10-12. Small bodyparts, 1 SS, 1 DS

And that be it! I intend to bulk using that, with a 3 day split.

1st day (tuesday, unless i dont work monday)= back (full back, upper and lower)/tris/traps/forearms
2nd day (probably thursday, unless i work)= legs (quads, hams, glutes, calves) abs
3rd day (saturday)=chest/delts/bis/forearms

Thats all folks!

looking good fish!! How are you liking the new job??



Posted by: Archangel

New routine looks solid my Friend, glad I could help out!!! Can't wait for some new pics, keep it up!!!



Posted by: FishOrCutBait

I actually am liking my job quite a lot! I get to be around people all day, and its practically cardio, (if i run/bag fast enough)... Well, maybe not cardio, but its activity, which is good. And, I can still work out, which I have regularly been doing, 3 HIT sessions a week, same split as above. Yesterday was my first day of hiprrs, went well, did shock for back/tris/traps. Will post that in un momento.
