Your a beast DOMS you got balls. make sure to take a week off every 3 weeks since hit is much more demaning on your CNS.

Thank, Brutus!

Yeah, I never gave any thought to off-time.

 

[DOMS]

Good job, DOMS.

btw, Brutus, I'm not sure he would need to take a whole week off every 3 weeks. He is using a very high intensity but he is using extremely low volume and I am sure he will adapt after a few weeks. However, periodic time off is a must whatever you do, I just think 1 week/3 weeks of training is a bit overboard. Although I'm not a expert on HIT or anything, not sure what they preach, just what I think.

Thanks, fufu.

Between you and Brutus, I've decided to take off 5 days every 10 workouts.

 

[DOMS]

awesome! I mean, even if its just an adaption of your body to this new type of stimulus that makes the training more do-able than when you first started, those are gains too.

Thanks, man. But I'd swear that I'm also building a noticeable amount of muscle, too.

Im not sure id have the mental focus to keep it there. I guess id have to try it and see.

You'll only find out if you try.

If you do try it, really cut down on the weights.

Incredible workout DOMS. Impressive.

Thanks, Double D. I'm glad I just stumble on this HIT stuff...

 

[DOMS]

The time just keeps getting lower. Astounding Doms, just astounding.

Thanks, goob. I doubt that I'll cut it down much more than that.

 

[Double D]

So hows the strength gains? I know whenever I did it I lost strength, but gained size nicely.

I don't know how HIT has affected my strength. I had to cut way down, but I'm starting to put on the weight again. My goal with this is to get back 50% of the weight that I had to take off. So, on Back Squats, I went from 260 down to 200. So my goal on Back Squats is to make it back to 230.

I really need to write out this goal (quantitatively) in my journal.

Heh, when I go back to a normal type of a workout, I'm not going to know what to do with 2 or 3 minute RIs...

Start reading War & Peace.

Start reading War & Peace.

But what'll I do for the next workout?

HIT, Day 8

The weights are moving along nicely. Other than that, there's not much to report.

Well...almost nothing. I feel a kind of..strain behind my tea bag. It doesn't really hurt, it just feels uncomfortable. It could just be the tendons in my legs. Any ideas, guys?

Oh, and I put up two pictures in my gallery.

As always, the tempo was 4/1/2/1.


Total Time: 8 minutes, 33 seconds

Leg Ext.
125 @ 11

Squats
205 @ 6
205 @ 3
205 @ 1

Leg Curl
90 @ 10

Fly
55 @ 8

Bench

CG Press

How are you recovering from these HIT workouts? Does DOMS have a lot of DOMS? And you only forgot one thing- rollouts. Just humor me and try them out.

I was going to do them yesterday, along with biking, but did neither.

I'm going to do both tomorrow.

What movie is that from? I swear I have seen it before.

I would think taking a week off after only 3 weeks of training would be far to often. But of course I dont know all that much about hit.

 

[Gazhole]

Thanks, man. But I'd swear that I'm also building a noticeable amount of muscle, too.

Nice! thats always a bonus. Is your diet specifically set up on a "bulk" at the moment?

You'll only find out if you try.

If you do try it, really cut down on the weights.

Lol, thanks for the tip! I havent really started to look at how im gonna be incorporating tempo into the next program. Just rough ideas. Maybe ill just try HIT?

I dunno. Im only halfway through Westside, got a lot of PRs left to kill

 

[goob]

Wow, yet another amazing workout. How's the conditioning coming along?

Sorry to hear about you're tea bag. I'm not laughing at your misfortune, just the choice of phrase.

 

[Brutus_G]

LOL loved Bruce almighty! Very nice workout Doms.

 

[DOMS]

I think that 4 on, 1 off, would do. Assuming that I worked out every other day, that would be one week off for every 14 workouts. Sound good?

 

[DOMS]

Try it for one day after you've finished Westside. Or just try it once, during a break, for fun.

I dunno. Im only halfway through Westside, got a lot of PRs left to kill

Then stick with it, man!

 

[DOMS]

Wow, yet another amazing workout. How's the conditioning coming along?

Thanks, man!

I'm really building up my cardio. No joke, I'd bet my lunge capacity has increased. Not only that, but I'd swear I can see that I've gotten bigger.

Sorry to hear about you're tea bag. I'm not laughing at your misfortune, just the choice of phrase.

Heh, I laughed when I wrote it.

Yeah, Bruce Almighty is a great movie.

Sorry man, I just realized that I missed answering this question.

The DOMS is great. I'm really feeling it in my traps, triceps, and calves. My quads and hams feel very tight, too.

 

[DOMS]

What movie is that from? I swear I have seen it before.

I lika...do...da...chacha!

 

[fufu]

Hahaha, that part was great, the timing was perfect.

 

[Brutus_G]

Id say that sounds perfectly reasonable.

 

[King Silverback]

Excellent w/o's in here Brother DOMS, I would say every 4 weeks 1 week off would be just fine, or if ya want just skip 2 w/o's, and HIT it again!!! Its really up to you, but your doing GREAT imo!!!

 

[Double D]

I would go with what Archie says there since hes the hit master. But overall listen to your body. If you feel you need it before that, then by all means take a week off.
