Another WO today, not half bad.

Shoulders / Triceps

DB Mil Press
35sx10
60sx10
70sx8
75x6
80sx5 (lost a little form on this one)

DB Delt Flyes
25s x 10
35s x 6 (too much)
30s x 8 (too little)

Skull Crushers
85x10
95x8
105x6

Overhead DB Press
65x10
75x8
80x6

DB Curls
35sx10
45sx8
45sx10

Felt a bit weak today, dunno why. I usually wear my gloves w/wrist wraps when I do OH presses, but didnt today. The weights are much easier to control with the wrist wrap.

On a side note - Im thinkin bout goin back on an organised program. I figure either a Max-OT style program or a modified HIT. What do ya think?? Lets hear your vote.

Archangel · 03-26-2005, 12:43 PM

HIT!!! I have never tried Max-OT, so honestly I do not know about that one. Have tried HIT though and really enjoyed it. Seems like everyone is wanting to change thier routine. Sweet, we can all begin together.
BTW, Your w/o rocked there Brother Du!!!

You think I should go with HIT? Ive dabbled with it a little.... I like it, and for a few reasons.

First off, the intensity is nice. You walk out feeling like you paid your dues today.

Second, I like that I dont have to spend as much time in the gym. Thats a big thing for me, I dont have much time during the week.

Lastly, I like that it isnt high volume; its quite the opposite. Ive got bad joints, so the less volume the better.

When you startin your new one?

I'd like to learn about it.

Arthur Jones developed HIT, training the Mentzer brothers, Casey Viator, Sergio Oliva, and many other greats. Mike Mentzer ran away with his own interpretation of it, calling it Heavy Duty. Dorian Yates was a huge fan of it in the late 80's, and used it to scuplt his was to Olympia.

Naw, since I started this new job I've been working crazy hours. Great pay but not so conducive to bodybuilding

LB: It'll be a good ride, I promise. Less reps and more weight - thats what youll see.

Rocco: Yea, I hear ya. Thats the EXACT situation I was put in in November/December. Tough as hell to get in there and have any energy. Give it time, relax, and youll grow comfortable with your schedule. I wish you the best of luck.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
