HIT question

soxmuscle · 08-19-2005, 06:23 PM

When school starts it would make a whole lot of sense for me to workout on two consecutive days at the beginning of the week. I'm thinking Mon-Tue-Thurs but have been told everywhere that you should never train on consecutive days.

Is it possible to utilize HIT to its best if I am training on two consecutive days once per week?

It's fine if you arn't doing full body work outs.

I wouldn't train 2 consecutive days in a row!!! Extremely taxing to the CNS imo!!! You can try it and see how you respond, thats the only way to truelly find out my Friend!!!

I train two days in a row sometimes and just train my hips on both days (olympic lifts).

If you want to train like that I would say do something like this:

mon- lower moderate rep work
tues- upper moderate rep work
thurs- HIT total body. then you have 3 full days to recover after killing yourself.

Thanks guys. I do have one more question. How many days during an HIT routine should I be doing cardio? I've been doing an HIIT sessions once per week, but wouldn't mind bumping that up to both sunday and wednesday if its needed.

Also I don't do ab work because Dr. Darden doesn't advise it, but would it be acceptable to add a set of failure of weighted sit ups in there somewhere...

**CowPimp** · 08-22-2005, 02:14 AM

I would going to recommend something like what P-funk did. A lower body day, upper body day, and a full body day.

soxmuscle · 08-22-2005, 02:57 AM

Would I be doing the same excercises that I did on the previous days again on the full body day or..

you don't have to. You can break things up like this:

upper
Incline DB bench
row
pull down
dips

lower
deadlift (from the floor)
step ups
leg curls
calves

HIT
overhead press
squat
pull up
bicep curl
BB shrug

Are you playing sports?

It mostly depends on the individual for whether to train on consecutive days. I'd agree with what someone said above that it's too much for the CNS. However, I use heavy weights all the time and therefore absolutely need the rest. If you have a fast recovery and/or aren't an advanced athlete (or use low intensity), it probably isn't absolutely necessary for you to have a rest day between workouts. It also depends on the actual workout of course.

I could see me doing something like this, but I don't know how much I like hitting my back with the rows and pull downs on the upper day, and the deadlifts on the lower day, and then again on the HIT day. Although this is what I will most likely be switching too for now.

Thanks P.

What don't you like about it? Deadlifts are hip extensions. If anything your lower back might actually get stronger and then your squat will go through the roof.....LOOK OUT! YOU MIGHT BLOW UP!

For HIT i would do

WORKOUT 1 chest/delts/triceps

WORKOUT 2 legs/back/biceps

MONDAY workout 1

bench press
seated military press
skull crushers

TUESDAY workout 2

Squats
Rows
SLDL
Barbell curll

Thursday calf and abs

You can do thursday workout easy at home with one legged calf raise with dumbell and some ab work.

The most important thing in HIT is concentrating on each workout like a laser, this workout provides very little overlap between each muscle group and is one I do.

Hope this helps you

HardTrainer · 08-23-2005, 04:00 AM

OR if you wanna go gym 3 times a week

MONDAY legs

Squat
leg curl
calf raise

TUESDAY chest/delt/tricpes

Bench press
shoulder press
skull crushers

THURSDAY back abs biceps

Deadlifts
Rows
Cable crunch
barbell curl

I don't like this split. First of all, you should be putting a rest day after the first workout. Second, why would you work back and legs on the same day? Also, there is no vertical pulling movement, such as pullups, included in this routine.

soxmuscle · 08-23-2005, 01:52 PM

Thanks for the help there hardtrainer, but I kind of like the routine I've got at the moment.
