Heyo, guys.

Lately, I've been thinking about how one's body is The Temple of The LORD, and, thusly, we should care for it as such. Tearing down the remnants of a life that is no longer ours, and building up something new, that is pleasing to the eyes of The LORD. I intend my body to stand as a testament to the power of The LORD, his might, and the aesthetics that the human body can display. The LORD's hand is artful and wise, creating something that can be so incredible. But, one is not simply handed such a thing, it is hard earned.

In any case, I am planning a 2 month HIT cutter, with a nice slow bulk in between, and a final cutter. I am doing this for my senior pictures, and for a bodybuilding comp that I intend to compete in. I have yet to decide which comp I want to go to, as they havent posted comp times or places yet. Anyhow, the lengths of the bulk and the 2nd cutter depend on my BF percentage by the end of my bulk, and the date of the competition.

I picked HIT because of the time one must invest in other routines, and because the actual lifting portion has a very strong cardio effect, so I wont be wastin so much time in the gym .

My split is the same as my final P/RR/S split, mostly because I enjoyed working calves and traps twice a week. MON: DELTS, CALVES, ABS, FOREARMS. TUES: BACK (upper and lower, angel deads, baby!) TRAPS, TRIS. WED: OFF. THURS: LEGS, CALVES, FOREARMS. FRI: CHEST, BIS, TRAPS. Im going to utilize several different variations on HIT, including double sets, and varied rep ranges, a la P/RR/S.

Archie has offered to help me out with my HIT-ing, and I will certainly be utilizing it...

And speaking of Big Archangel, Mad props to him for devising this routine.

I believe in Jesus.

Is that mockery, or a questioning of my fortitude? LOL, I kid, it's gotta be tough, but, I think itd be a good experience... I can definitely see where you are coming from, though. From what you say, its pretty tiring. I need to put a new pic up, maybe next weekend... My back is A LOT Thicker, I have lil striations in my mid back!!

Yeah just saying its alot of hard work Just don't get too fat during your bulks, I had to come down from 25% and reckon i lost some muscle doing it. Try and stick around 12-14% then it won't be so tough. But i'm sure you can do it

My Journal

FishOrCutBait

HOLY FREAKIN POOP, 25%???? HOW DID YOU DO IT?!! Thats nuts! Im gonna be doin a slow bulk, (300-400 excess cals a day) because I pretty readily put fat on. Im gonna be hittin up the R-ALA, and some Lean Green, man, that stuff is the most potent green tea on the market... lol... I sound like a drug dealer.

I believe in Jesus.

Diet bud all diet...
R-ALA (steriods...??)
Yeah been talkin to my bro about green tea, he loves it.... Was gonna get some today but spent all my money on my kids, got them an eye toy for PS2 and we went and say Charlie and the Chocolate factory.... not a good movie to see pre comp

My Journal

FishOrCutBait

ROFL!!! I gotta see me that movie, looks good. Not in theatres here, anymore. R-ALA is the bioavailable form of Alpha Lipoic Acid, good stuff, IMO, Im taking it now... Supposed to help w/ creatine uptake as well, but, I like the stuff as a stand alone, take it w/ pre and post workout shake. I know it be all diet, mah friend... Im tryin to get mine tightened down even more, so I can get MAD lean before I bulk... HIT sounds really neeeeat...

I believe in Jesus.

Brother Fish, I've been thinking on your new routine!!! You can try it for a while, but I wouldn't suggest working out 2 days in a row!!! Brother Pylon can confirm me on this one, if done right (HIT) you WILL NOT want to work out 2 days back to back!!! Not trying to be a know -it-all my Friend, just voicing my concern for you!!! Let me know if I can be of any help!!!
1 suggestion I do have, and I had experimented with the different rep ranges too, was to do this :
1st exercise - 6-8 rep range
2nd - 8-12 rep range
3rd - 12-15 rep range

I have been toying with that one for a while, I also have another rep range routine I'm working on!!! Let me know how your doin and if I can help my Friend!!!

Ill get it figured out once I actually get a feel for the routine... I certainly am not going to totally blow your opinion off, I just want to get some in the trench experience, ya know?

I've done it a couple of times out of neccesity, but I don't think you'd want to make it part of the plan. You really want the time to recover between sessions, even if you are working different parts. I think your CNS will appreciate it.

Besides, as much as I hate to say it, slotting cardio work between HIT sessions seems to be a really good combo.

You should be careful with those kinda statements, Bolt. You're going to get swamped with PMs by all the lurkers...

For the record, I think looking at a comp now is a great way to get into your HIT program. Even if you change your mind later, it helps to have a goal like that to keep you motivated.

Good luck. We'll be watching. And if you do get that job, remember, no snacking at work!

To late people always PM me....I don't know why LOL. I don't mind at all and if they don't follow my advice thats kewl. IMO I can only help you learn your body.....everyone must learn their own body and find out what works best for them then grow on it with experimentation. I have been doing this for the past 3-4 years and I think all the experimenting has really helped me out to understand the way I react to things.

That's a great way to look at it. Now if only more people were willing to learn how their bodies work...
