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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I do, cuz I felt it today.

Todays workout:

12 April 2005
7:29-8:31
248 lbs

Warmup
5 min on bike

Preacher curls
35*4
55*4
75*6
105*15

Wrist Curls
45*5
65*5
105*5
155*8

BB Squat
45*4
135*4
315*7

BB Calves
385*8
405*8
455*8
475*6

Leg Curls
60*4
120*4
180*5
240*14

DB Preach
45*14 (right arm)
45*19 (left arm)

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?

Nice w/o! Was the woman pretty? The stretching wouldn't be a bad idea, I would like to do it if I had the time. Sneak in a camera though



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...
