How many Yards ?

Nobody tracks the yards just the total points. I don't keep track of who scores but I think I ran for two touchdowns and threw for three ( plus a couple of "2 point" extra points). It's definitely a team game since I rely on my blockers to give me time to pass the ball and the receivers to find an open spot. We are definitely on a roll this season. In five games, we've scored over 200 points and given up 24.

Gary - Thanks I appreciate it. You are pretty damn impressive though!!!!!

[yellowmoomba]

Gary - I wanted 3 !! I have to start working heavier again.
I guess we all want to lift more

 

[JerseyDevil]

Nice deads YM! Were you able to get 425 moving at all? I notice with deads if I can get the bar moving, I can get it. But sometimes just 10 lbs more, and I can't even get it started .

I got it about 6 inches up. Doing regular dead compared to trap bar deads hits my lower back a little more because my shoulders are about two to three inches more forward than when I do trap bar deads.

It was a good change of pace

How's your back Jersey ?

 

[Rocco32]

Great w/o YM. Doesn't look completely HIT though?!?

 

[JerseyDevil]

How's your back Jersey ?

Still is a tad stiff. Taking off a few days to be safe. Might try light squatting tomorrow morning. Thanks for asking .

Thanks for noticing

I didn't want to squeeze 3 days of HIT into four days since I like a day of rest in between each workout. So I'm doing:

Tuesday: Pull
Wednesday: Push
Thursday: Off
Friday: Legs
Saturday/Sunday: Out of town (so Off)

I'll start my HIT again next Tuesday (until the end of the year).

Thanks I was shooting for 18 reps.......I got 17 last week but I was doing a different workout program.

The angle was 30' of the inclines.

My back is still sore as a MF from Tuesday's workout. It's feels GOOD While doing the HIT program for 4-5 weeks I didn't get too sore but I got stronger every time.

D@mn it, I need to try HIT. Everybody says good things

I recommend it (at least for a month). The KEY is INTENSITY!!! The hardest part is you are not in the gym very long so you have to mentally get over that part.

I'm a gym rat. I could spend 2-3 hours there but you can't (or shouldn't) on this program.

If you have any questions on HIT - I can tell you want I know that has worked for me. I'm not an expert but I've tried it with successful results.

[PreMier]

Thanks

It was nice not to have to worry about my back when I was on the machine but I prefer doing free weights just for the fact that you have to really focus on keeping your core tight and driving your legs.

 

[yellowmoomba]

Congrats on the PB

Thanks

I'm going to congratulate myself with some PIZZA in about 10 minutes

Pussy! j/k. I know exactly what you mean. Squats are tough. I really don't think it's good, or even possible, to do balls to the wall squats every time out.

Thanks - it's back to HIT then next couple weeks. Switching workout programs sure makes a difference.

 

[Rocco32]

So are you going to continue switching? Do HIT for a month, something else for 2 weeks, back to HIT...etc?
