Some exercises HIT can be done properly w/o a spotter IMO.

Best dumbell curl for biceps?
- Thread starter LittleKid
- Start date
I always have a spotter, except on leg day. I think forced reps are essential so most pressing movements require a spotter.
Squats, Deadlifts, Curls, Pullups, Negative Pullups don't require one. Bench, Military presses do.

I think I'm going to lower my bicep volume slightly but still keep it at a HIT training pace as usual.
I may start doing biceps twice a week to see if it makes a difference.
I've never trained biceps or triceps more than once a week.

Ok Johnny, I don't know shit about shit.
I do know that I just did a search on PubMed.com, The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (which I subscribe to), and The American Journal of Physiology --- Endocrinology and Metabolism using the key words; ephedra, ephedrine, hyperthyroid, and hyperthyroidism. These searches yielded NO results.
What that means is that there is essentially no evidence that ephedra and ephedrine based products can cause hyperthyroidism.
So, once again, I call bullshit.
Do you realize that your family doctor and or endocrinologist have very little nutritional training? What you accept as fact from your doctor (unless you are lying about the whole matter which is possible) is likely no more than their own conjecture...

Johnnny, why dont you try it true HIT style and do only one set of high intensity bicep curls and see how you like it? Give it a shot for a month or two and see if your biceps dont grow. The first time I lowered my volume and upped my arm intensity, I saw nearly 1/2 inch in growth (granted this was almost 2 years ago) but the higher intensity, lower volume will make you think twice about you current program. Trust me.

The internet isn't always a reliable source especially when it's medically related.
I'm still trusting my family doctor & endocrinologists.
As with the numerous times I've already said that my family has never had a history of thyroid problems, nor have I ever had thyroid problems until using those supplements.
I will repeat again, with the years of TSH blood tests as apart of our family doctor's annual blood work on his patients, a pre-existing thyroid condition was never found.
Those supplements my endocrinologist explained raise your thyroid levels, & in some individuals the thyroid levels remain high causing permanent hyper thyroid.
Same goes for hardcore steroid using bodybuilders who use T3 & T4 thyroid hormones during their cutting regime.
Seeing how they have no thyroid problem, their thyroid's will suffer permanent damaged with extended use.
Same goes for me if I take too much synthroid, I will be in the hyper thyroid state.

Just one set for biceps?
I just don't think that will work for me.
I like a variety of bicep exercises, angles & grips. Which is why I do a couple sets of barbell or standing db curls, some sort of hammer curl for a couple sets, & a couple sets of preacher or concentration curls.
One set just doesn't sound like enough.

First off, you don't know till you try. Just "thinking" it won't work isn't enough. And second off WHY DO YOU REPEAT YOURSELF CONSTANTLY?!? Do you think we don't know what you do for your bi's yet?!? We've readJohnnny said:Just one set for biceps?

a million times already. Learn to say something once and move on.
I don't have a complete HIT routine, but have adopted the low volume, high intensity principles and absolutely love it despite having the same attitude you have at one point in time.Johnnny said:Just one set for biceps?

If your working hard enough, and your not giving up until you can't physically do anymore, you'll explode as I hope I do.
Yeah 1 set doesnt **sound** like enough to me, but i respect the Mentzer principles, and I will not say it does not work until I try it, which I am planning on doing.

I was a little skeptical myself, but after seeing the results of various people that have tried HIT training, it looks extremely promising. Duncans Donuts, soxmuscle, yellowmooma, and rock4832 are all excellent examples.
I feel that giving it a try can't hurt anything. After my second cycle of Westside, I'm leaning towards HIT as the next protocol of choice.

Trust me. Low volume-High intensity training works. If I could show u my before and after pics, and Duncans before and after pics, youd probably freak out.

Yeah, where do you live?CowPimp said:
I'm located in Easton, MD right now. I often find myself in Hanover and Annopolis however...
BigDyl said:
Ah, Easton. I've never been around there. What do you think of it?
It's a small eccentric town--it is the Eastern shore after all. You in DC, right?
I'm in DC.
Cool, I usually get sent to DC once a month or so because of my job.
Cool, how far away is Easton from DC?
70 miles I think. Do you and Cow lift together?
Nope. I've never met the guy.
I don't think I could hang with Cowpimp, have you seen his journal!
