Well I already posted another journal but I realized I had been on that program for some time, and after reading Archie's journal for some time decided to give his a try. I have already posted a workout on the other will post one on here shortly. I too am following a bit of a hybrid such as his, He seems to be having great success and something of that sort seems to be working well with me for the time being.

Well I went in today for another brutal HIT workout and wow, it was intense for sure. heres how it went.

Supinated Grip Bent Over Rows 6x2x
100x8, (30 secs of rest after each first set of every exercise)
110x6
CG Pulldowns 6x2x
125x8
125x8
WG rows
100x8
100x6
DB Pullovers
55x12
65x10
Delts
Hammer Strength Press
110 x 8
110x8
Reverse Pec Dec
100x8
110x6
Military Machine Press
100x8
100x8

This was another good workout, enjoyed the intensity and pump. It is amazing how just slowing every rep cadence down can do so much. Hey Arch, if your readin this brother can you please give me a little critiqueing? You seem to be the master, and your help would be greatly appreciated. Or if you just had some tips/pointers I would gladly accept those as well. Thank you.

Overall, looks pretty good. Don't forget to post your w/o time so we can see what kind of pace you are setting.

I would be careful about raising your weights on the second set as you did for rows and rev pec deck. Keep in mind the target for upper body HIT is 12 reps. Don't raise the weight until you are hitting that target. It'll keep you from overextending and hurting yourself. If you are getting 8 reps on the first set, do the same weight on the second set. Remember, it's not about how much you lift!

Oh thanks alot Pylon, I wasnt too sure what the rep range for HIT was..Yeah I have noticed it isnt about weight, ive gone to do something then have to readjust the weight because there would be no way I would be able to do 2 sets of 6x2x or 4x2x. and the workout time for today was around 32 minutes.

Posted by: FishOrCutBait

Man, im really figuring this whole deal out too... Was this your second HIT w/o?

Posted by: ccr_bballer33

yeah. The first time I felt like a madman running around, haha and completely out of sync. But none the less, I felt like I had one of the best workouts I've had in some time. definitely with the rep cadence.

Thank you Brother Pylon!!! Awesome pointers my Friend!!! Definatly don't raise the weight on the second set, even if you have done 12 reps on the first. Wait until the next session and then raise the weight!!! W/O is lookin great my Friend, keep it up and definatly post your w/o time!!!

Don't be afraid to go lower on the weights than you think you should and work back up. If I judge too light, I'll do more reps, but it's better than being too heavy.

BTW, rep counts for upper body work should be 12 before going up, 20 on lower body.

Posted by: ccr_bballer33

wow, 12 and 20, ok good things you guys told me this early so used to the lower reps such as 4-8. thanks both of you guys, I am so amped about starting this, I havent quite got it down yet and I'm still having excellent workouts. I have to drag my ass off the floor out of the gym when its all said and done. its really a killer. Also archie or pylon, if you dont mind what sort of split are you on? currently im doing a three day one since I think i need those in between days of rest. Looks like this, M/W/F on, T/T and the weekends off. By the way works out rather good right now, because I have basketball tuesdays, thursdays and saturdays. So im definitely getting the cardio in as well.

Posted by: Pylon

My setup is the same for on/off. (I'm dealing with a stiff neck, so no lifting this week for me.)

It's all about cadence and form. Nice and slow, good ROM. And keep the breaks between lifts to a minimum.

No, if I was still bb'ing I'd definately be doing it. I switched over to powerlifting and Westside the end of May.

Posted by: King Silverback

Brother CCR, That split is excelent!!! My current split is this:
Sat-Back/Delts/Traps
Mon-Legs/Abs
Wed-Chest/Biceps/Triceps
You honestly need that day of rest in between, otherwise you will burn out and overtrain IMO!!!
Keep it up my Friend, any help I can give you, I will gladly do!!!
