Thanks man, but I those weights are no good for me. Happy, but not satisfied. Never satisfied.

Id love to find my extension max. Maybe one day when i got nothin to do.

Well, its not exactly HIT. The higher volume is extrememly light weight... but then one heavy set to failure. Youre lookin at 6 or so heavy lifts per day, less than Im doin now.

Then Id only be hittin each BP twice a week, same as Im doin now.

The only difference is that the new one gives me a light weight warmup and splits my workouts in half.

The more I look at the new routine Brother Du, the more I like it!!! I say GO FOR IT!!!

I agree. Keep us posted too because if it works for you I'll try it

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...

looks like a real good workout there. With the back/chest workout, are you adding any supersets into your routine? Seems like a quick workout, so you must have been real intense.

Awesome! No nasuea? Did you have a drink or is it because of the w/o?

It was good, I like it. So far at least. It wasnt quite a "back/chest" workout, and there were no supersets.

The workout was over 40 min long... I wouldnt consider that too quick?




BTW, your boys did nice today. Kicked our ass pretty good.

My IronMag Journal

Du

Nope no drink. Forgot it, as I came from work to the gym. I only ate on the ride up, about 25 min before lifting.

I think its the workout that allows for less nausea.

My IronMag Journal

Du

Thanks boss. I liked it too, and think Ill stick with it for a while. Maybe cycle this and regular full body HIT. I didnt feel too fatigued, I was pretty energized, actually. It was a good feeling.

The workout was 40 min long not 20.... why do you guys think its 20?



Start at 19:17, end at 20:00.


Edit: Oh ok. 20:00 = 8:00 PM. Sorry about that

All in all, cant complain. Lifted by myself tonight, the other guy didnt show. Not a big deal.

So while I was doing calves, the head attendant comes over to me while Im working my set at 455lbs. I knew for sure she was going to yell at me for having no shoes on, as it was getting looks (as always). She isnt usually there, so I figured she'd say something to me. But nope, she wanted me to enroll in her "stress relief / yoga" type clas that she si trying. She said using my weights could damage my back, etc etc. So she ended up talkin for like 20 minutes, and I was actually interested in waht she was saying. I might do this extreme streching class. (I doubt it.) So that delayed my lifts and cooled me down while doing calves.

Good workout. Next one - Thursday.

What up everyone

What this workout is trying to do is Tear up the muscle just enough so you can repair it the next day...then train again.... This way you can recruit new muscle fibers quicker, and dont have to lay around waiting for your muscles to heal up..... you will see greater strength gains and faster results with this. A lot of people still train the old way of one bodypart a day, this is only providing 52 times you repair the muscle a year and new muscle recruitment....

Now if you really think about it 52 times of growth and repair compared to 156 or so......which would you choose?

Look who showed up.

Ya so Hyperextensions were it. I warmed up with those, then did GM's. I dont see much of a difference, except in the weight to use.

Okay, so I decided I need to go up in weight on the DB Incline Press, 14 reps is too much. Im gonna stop doin pullups and focus on pulldowns until I get to my BW in pulldowns. I hate only doin 3-4.

My skullcrusher weight, I was happy with that. My form sucked on the last 5 of my 125 set, and I stopped cuz i couldnt keep form, not bc I couldnt move it. My form was better in my first few on my 145lb set. I think im gonna stick to 115 or so and get stricter on form next time. And those lateral raises burned the hell outta me. Its crazy to only be able to lift 25lb dumbells 4 times!!!

All in all, good workout. Im happy but not satisfied.

Good lookin w/o there...movin some good numbers. You gotta love those drop sets where your fried and only move some tiny as weights. A massive guy moving puney weights and struggling....always funny lol! I use to bust my cousins balls when we did some crazy drop sets like that....I remember him struggling when he was benching 35lb db's on a 5 drop set bench or some shit like that. It was hilarious. He's normally into the 120'.

Thanks. I was there mentally last night, worked out well. Those drop sets were tough, though. Its funny as hell to struggle so much just to move 25 pounders!
