HIT or Miss: The Chronicle of Rock

[Rocco32]

what did you do these pullovers with??
I use the Nautilus Pullover machine.


I usually put my upright rows on pull day becasue they are so much traps (and elbow flexion which is biceps) but that is just me preference.
Even with a shoulder wide grip?


Workouts look good. My only question is how hard are you working at these sets?? I see a lot of high rep stuff so I am just curious. Is that just because you are still adapting to the new program and figuring out where you are at. Or are you going all out balls to the wall. I mean if I was going for a HIT workout I'd be going all out so like if I could curl 115lbs for 8 reps and I knew that I was doing only one set. You'd bet your ass I would be getting 12 reps. No matter what!! How hard are you pushing yourself? You really have to ask that when doing HIT. If you are just going through the motions then it isn't going to work for you. That is why so many can;t do it. they mentally can't get past that part and push themselves over it. I mean, if I was squating I would just go all out no matter what. ya know.

Yeah, I'm putting on weights that normally I would get 6-8 reps on. Guess I was never really going to failure before, I've really surprised myself since starting. So the high reps are adapting to the program. I'm pushing myself damn hard. I'm outta breath by the end of the set (even the low rep ones) and sweating like a pig which I normally don't do. And every w/o I think I reach a higher level of intensity and pass a mental block.

 

[Rocco32]

yeah, well I am training legs tomorrow so I probably just fucking jonxed myself. i will be in a wheel chair before noon now. fuck.

Or passed out on the floor and delirious from exertion while all the gay weightlifters come to watch and .....

come and watch.....you mean CUM and ass-rape.


nautilus pullover is awesome.

Yeah, even with the wider grip (I know it is more medial delt) but I still think of it as a pull.


that is good. it sounds like you intensity is getting up there. adapting to a new training style just takes time.

 

[Rocco32]

So what do you think I should replace for shoulders in the push routine if I move Uprights to Pull?

overhead presses, what else!!!!


I guess front raises could work. leave them there if it is all you can think of for shoulders. but i would do overhead presses. When I do push pull I do overheads and bench presses in the same day.

Alright, cool. I'll have to think about that. Someone told me with HIT not to do duplicate a pressing movement for Shoulders. But maybe I'll hop on the HS MP and bang some out Oh, and have fun getting ass-fucked! LOL.

Good morning Rocky baby Did you pig out yesterday????

 

[yellowmoomba]

Thanks YM, still a ways to catch up to you LOL. W/O takes just over 20 min. I want to get it to 15 min. I do abs on Friday with Legs. Kinda nervous about going to failure on the Leg press though, especially with my back, LOL.

Just so you can guage - I'm taking about 30-40 minutes or so to do 5 sets depending on how many warmup sets I need to do. This includes 5 minutes on the stairclimber to get my body temp up and muscles lose. I normally do at least two warmups.

Hey my favorite Hottie! No, I worked so that was an excuse not to eat all the food. Good enough for me

Cool, I warm-up for the first exercise usually about 2 sets then acclimate. After that I just do the rest of the w/o and I don't figure my warm-up in the total w/o time. I found out today though that legs takes awhile because of trying to recover, LOL.

Wow, I thought I was going to die during this w/o, LOL.

I did the leg ext for 18 reps, then I did partials until I couldn't move my leg. Stood up and almost fell over my legs were so shakey. Got on the Leg Press right away and the weight felt WAY to heavy. But I did about 8 pretty steady, then 2 at a time until I had to use my hands to push my legs up on the last rep. I'd say 2 more, do 2 and rest 1-2sec and kept doing that. I thought I was going to throw up when I was finished. Even an hour afterwards I still felt sick. What fun, LOL.

 

[Rocco32]

just balls up. lol

I just didn't want the gays to notice and take advantage of me...

That certainly felt enough for legs, what do you think Patrick. Was that enough exercises for my legs?

HIT is great. I completely understand what you mean by "loving and hating", as does anyone else doin it. Its unreal though, in all honesty. Keep it up boss, keep it up.

As for me, I had the day off, along with today. Thanksgiving was great, had a full meal and dessert at my house then a full meal and dessert at my girls house. Worked it all off today though...... split, carried, and stacked 3 cords of seasoned firewood. It should last through the winter, so we'redone with that.

Good luck boss, and keep it up.

Sounds like a good Thanksgiving! How long have you and your "girl" been together? Are you going to be sore after splitting the firewood? I love doing that but I'm dead the next day, LOL.

 

[Rocco32]

Hey, next to you I lift baby weights, LOL! Thanks Gary, I surprised myself again with this. Was expecting to get around 6-10 reps with both the leg ext and press.

 

[Rocco32]

You like to puke?

As long as I'm not the only one! If you puke up your protein shake, are you supposed to drink another one?!?

 

[P-funk]

Just about 3 years now. (Almost). Im actually at her place now, shes at practice, Im in her room.

As for being sore, I imagine I will be. We'll see how bad though. Either way, I needed the workout, as I havent gotten into the gym lately.

I love choppin logs.

 

[Rocco32]

holy shit!!!! take the train up from VA!!!!!

Are you saying I'm crazy for thinking that?!?

 

[PreMier]

Shit yea, you drink another. Or just puke it into a real big glass, and drink it again.
