305x20 is mondo impressive!!!

Seanp156 · 07-06-2005, 12:31 PM

Personally, I think the 305x20 squats is quite a bit more impressive than the leg press !!!

b_reed23 · 07-06-2005, 01:12 PM

yellowmoomba · 07-06-2005, 01:48 PM

[b]Today Split C

10 Minute Warm-Up on Stationary Bike

DB Overhead Shoulder Presses
65x11 (Stay till HIT 12 reps) Held last rep 1/2 way up for a 15 count

Side Laterals
25x9 (Stay till HIT 12 reps) Held last rep for a 15 count

Reverse Pec Dec
120x11 (Stay till HIT 12 reps) Held last rep for 15 count

Flex BB Curls
65x12 (Up weight next time) Held last rep for a 15 count

Incline Hammer Curl w/supination
30x8 1/2 (Stay till HIT 12 reps) Held last rep for a 15 count

Cable Curls
60x12 (Up weight next time) Held last rep for 15 count

CG Bench Press
185x9 1/2 (Stay till HIT 12 reps) Held last rep for 15 count

Overhead DB presses
70x10 (Stay till HIT 12 reps) Held last rep for 15 count

V-Bar Pushdowns
100x12 (Up in weight next time) Held last rep for 15 count

W/O Time : 15 Minutes

Experimenting with Static holds (I think thats what they are) Thanks to Brother Patrick putting a bug in my ear!!! You would be suprised that even after failure how strong you remain in the holding or negative phase!!!

I asked someone to spot me on the CG Benches and they laughed at me, "only 185 and you need a spot?"
So I smiled and asked someone else, and they spotted me

Afterwards the jerk who made fun of me was benching like 275 and yelling the whole time, well justice came for me....... He got caught up and couldn't lift the bar to the holders, he looked at me and said he was sorry, could I please help him, I did, and he promptly looked around and yelled, "thats how its done!!!" I just shook my head and said your welcome, man some people can be real jerks!!!

Would love to put him through a HIT routine!!!

**P-funk** · 07-07-2005, 08:47 PM

yea, you don't have to do it on every set. You can also do supersets like I suggested. You are always going to be stronger with an isometric or eccentric. Think about it....when you perform a lift (any lift!) you will always fail concentrically before anything else. On a bench press you can always lower the weight, it is coming back up that is the problem. On a squat you can hold in the hole, at the top or a quater of the way down but you can't always squat the weight. It is a good way just to work those joint actions and recruit more muscle fibers than you would if you just stopped the set. Also, with isometrics, there is no movement at the joint so the possibilty of getting hurt is much much less than doing eccentrics.

b_reed23 · 07-08-2005, 01:00 AM

omg!! what an @ss!! You were a lot cooler about it than I would have been....

great workout, I like how your changing things up all the time, it definetly keeps you from getting bored...and WOW...15 minutes!!

Seanp156 · 07-08-2005, 02:10 AM

Ughh... I have a feeling that I'm gonna meet some jerks like that after I change gyms as well...

Archangel · 07-08-2005, 09:34 AM

Brother Patrick - I know, was just experimenting for now!!! Will prolly end up doin it on the Main Movement for each muscle group, what do you think about that?

Sister Cris -

Sister Billie - I just know there are alot of idiots and mean spirited people in the world who aren't worth my anger, ya know!!! But I would've loved to smacked him upside his head

Thanks for the compliment!!! I like the routine so far, and to be honest, I like changing it up, so hopefully I'm on the right track!!!

Brother Sean - I'm sure you will, but there are Great people in the gym too!!!

fUnc17 · 07-08-2005, 10:43 AM

damn man, 15 minutes... thats intensity GREAT w/o. about that guy, u played it right... you don't have to prove anything to him. what a tool.

MorteSubite · 07-08-2005, 11:04 AM

Great workout. Just have to ignore the idiots! That guy will learn some humility as life catches up to him.

yellowmoomba · 07-08-2005, 11:07 AM

Nice workout AA!! Good to see that you are liking HIT

Archangel · 07-08-2005, 11:09 AM

Brother FUnc - Thank you for the encouragement!!! I hear ya, some people are just not worth it!!!

Brother Morte - Thank you also my Friend!!! I hear ya there!!!

Brother YM - Thank you too, I am really enjoying my return to HIT, thanks for stoppin by!!!

DeadBolt · 07-08-2005, 10:55 PM

Good lookin w/o my man!! Eh don't sweat the fool...I would have let him crack his chest clean open then walked over to him and shouted THATS HOW ITS DONE!!!! Theres always an ass at every gym!

Archangel · 07-09-2005, 10:35 PM

Brother Bolt, he was a definate jerk, thats for sure!!! Hows the shoulder holdin up for ya? Having a great weekend? Thanks for the compliment, I appreciate that more than you know!!!

Archangel · 07-09-2005, 10:44 PM

Okay, I've been thinking here!!! (Don't laugh

)

I am gonna experiment also with my rep ranges, and sets!!!

Instead of doing 1 set on the first Compound exercise, I will do 2 sets, 30 seconds apart and then do the remaining sets with no rest,
Ex:
Incline BB Bench
100x(6-8) Wait 30 seconds
100x(6-8) Immediatly go into the next exercise

Hammer Incline Presses
75x(8-12) Immediatly go into next exercise

Pec Dec
50x(12-15) Move onto next Bodypart

The Idea I have, and tell me if you think it's a waste of time, is to reach Muscle (Positive) Failure all within different rep ranges!!!

Let me have it, what thinks you???

Rocco32 · 07-10-2005, 07:25 AM

I think it's a good idea Angel. Just remember there are a lot of things you can do and all of them are good. Does that make sense? Meaning you can experiment and do different things to freak your muscle out

And great w/o

You know the concept of prrs is built unmder the same basis during rep range week. You hit failure in each rep range

It sounds good for now but for a long term thing I don't know....just doesn't seem like the muscles will like that for to long. I'm sure your muscle stamina will increase but how will thay affect your overall strength you think? Now I don't know if any of what I'm saying is worth taking to heart b/c I've never tried something like that but I would think you would need to cycle
