Thread: MonStar's HIT/TKD Journal

Friday; 11-26-2004

• Training:
  
  Great workout today, really hit my back extremely hard. Trained back/biceps today and my workout was short, and balls to the wall. No complaints at all.
  
  Support Rows: 280 x 9! + 2 (assisted)
  
  CG Cable Pulldowns: 245 x 6
  
  Nautilus Pullovers: 270 x 10
  
  Nautilus Curls: 130 x 9
  
  Incline Hammer Curls: 50's x 6
  
  Hit my lats extremely hard, absolutely no compaints here at all. Started off with a nice PR on support rows, and then some pulldowns and pullovers. Moved onto some curls and finished up with some hammers, great workout.

• Diet:
  
  Meal 1: scrambled eggs, bacon
  Meal 2: fried steak + cheese + mayo
  Meal 3: tuna + mayo
  Preworkout: 1 scoop of Swole, Sweettarts
  Postworkout: whey protein
  Meal 5: fried steak + mayo
  Meal 6: filet mignon steak
  Meal 7: grilled chicken ceasar salad
  Meal 8: 3 hot dogs
  
  Actually, I think this diet is going to be more of a breeze than I thought. As long as I keep myself under control with my total # of calories, I shouldn't have any problems on a TKD.

• Sleep: 6.5 hours.

Hey, I'm the first one to see this journal! I WIN!!! Great to see you back on HIT, LOL. Honestly though Mike, I think you have too much strength right now. Why don't you send me just a little bit. I'll pay you, LOL. Good luck.

Eh, looks like Mono's killing another dog.

EPA said i had to stop... theyre on the endangered species list because of me.

rock: Thanks for stopping by bud, I really appreciate it. I am glad to be back on HIT as well man, for whatever reason. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with HIT. I am not going to be doing squats HIT style though, too taxing on my CNS---especially since I am taking in so little carbs on this TKD.

aggies1ut: LOL.

Monolith: Whatever you say, bud.

Damn those governmental agencies....

The product will be especially helpful on a diet. One of the mods at getbig.com has been using it while on a CKD diet and had wonderfull success with it.

As I told you, it will allow you to train harder, more often.

Here is a link to the thread the mod at getbig started:

aggies1ut: LOL.

chris: Thanks for stopping by, bud. That's great to hear because a CKD and a TKD are extremely similar, the only difference is that I don't do weekend carb-ups, I take in 30-40g of simple sugars before my workout to fuel my HIT session. I am curious how soon to my workout should I eat my Sweettarts, and idea? I was thinking maybe 15-20 minutes before my workout with my Swole? What do you think?

I am not familiar with Swole? Anyway, if you have not eaten in several hours and just take the candy then that should be fine. If you have eaten a meal within the last few hours you might want to have the candy a bit sooner.

chris: Hey man, here is a link to some info about Swole, it's a creatine product:

I am going to post my results with HIT/TKD here in this journal. So far, so good. I really like what I am eating on a TKD---Atkin's style eating for me is just a breeze. I just have to stay in control of my binging that's all. Hopefully all will go well with this, I am hoping to drop down to around 220 lbs. We'll see what happens.

Good Luck Mike!!

I'm Trying: Thanks man, I appreciate it!

  Good workout today I think, especially since I am running on low carbs. No complaints at all today about my workout intensity, etc.
  
  Incline BB Presses: 255 x 6! + 2 (assisted)
  
  Nautilus Pec-Deck Flyes: 200 x 11
  
  Upright Rows: 185 x 7! + 2 (assisted)
  
  Nautilus Lateral Raises: 240 x 7
  
  Skullcrushers: 155 x 8! + 2 (assisted)
  
  Good workout today, hit a few nice PR's here today. Threw around some decent weight on inclines, then some upright rows that weren't too shabby. Moved onto some lateral raises and then some JM presses. I realized today that I am not really doing skullcrushers like most people do them. I lower the bar down to my neck/chin area and flare my elbows out a bit. I am going to take a video of them in the near future.

• Diet:
  
  Preworkout: 1 scoop of Swole, Sweettarts
