    HIT or Miss: The Chronicle of Rock

    Hehe, a new journal. Gotta keep you all guessing, LOL. Starting HIT. Very shaky with it right now so I appreciate all kinds of feedback. DD said he'd help in here too.

    The reason I'm switching to HIT is I'm hoping it may be better for my elbow, only doing one set to failure rather than high volume. We'll see. Besides, I love trying new things. Here is what my routine looks like right now-

    Day 1- Chest/Back
    BP
    Incline DB Flye
    Bent Row
    Pull-up
    Dead


    Day 2- Legs/Bi's
    Squat
    Leg Ext
    SLDL
    Sitting Calf Raise
    BB Curl
    Hammer Curl

    Day 3- Shoulders/Tris
    MP
    Side Lateral
    CG Bench
    BB Shrug
    Abs

    And I'll do cardio on the inbetween days. As I start to plateau, I will remove certain exercises.

    Currently I'm at 220lbs and hoping to be around 210 by the end of the IM Comp. Just looking to Recomp mostly.
    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...

    Tuesday

    MP-
    145x6
    135x8

    Side Lateral DB Raise-
    25 x 7, rest then 4 more. (3 sec static holds of the top of each movement. After the 11th rep kept doing partials until I couldn't move my arm any longer)

    CG Bench-

    185x5
    155x10

    BB Shrug-

    245 x 16

    Decline Sit-up-
    30x6

    Tough workout. I really need to work on intensity. Would be much easier if I had a spotter. Went to a new gym that had a cage I could work in so no big deal if I got stuck, but hated the gym. Won't go back.

    Some of the weights I picked were off, so I did a second set. The MP started behind neck but that hurt so I stopped on the 6 rep and just did it over in front. I think I'll do Abs on the cable next time (rope crunches).

    Until I really get the intensity down, I may even add in a few more exercises like Tri overhead press to finish off the muscle. I don't know. W/O took about 25 min but most of that was setting up the equipment in the cage. Next time will def grab a spotter on each exercise.

    So is my current set-up good or am I inviting overtraining. Should I do Push/Pull/Legs instead?

    How many days a week are you going to be lifting?

    Looks like a pretty good first HIT session to me You could probably throw a set of dips in there I think the intensity will come with practice (and a spotter)

    I think yours looked better, LOL. I'm not sure about dips because of my elbow. I could try it though. And yeah, I'm hoping the intensity comes with practice. I need to get the right mindset. I think I psyche myself out too much.

    Psyche!

    Maybe someday I will try it. Just not in the mood now... Maybe it will work wonders for you, and you will still be on it when I try it out.

    Most likely I won't still be on it, LOL.

    No, I hope this works out for me. I hope I can make good gains and still keep my elbow, LOL. Your doing great as is Jake!
