Hey, what about me

Chris: Hey bud! Thanks for stopping by, I know that you're a big fan of HIT and low-volume style training yourself. I would love to try out that new product you're talking about. I am looking forward to getting started on it, as a matter of fact. My upper body DOMS hasn't been too harsh on HIT but damn my thighs are killing me. Those high-rep squats to failure are just torture, lol. To those of you who do not know what ETS is, here is a link:

It's basically just a recovery aid, for the most part. I am looking forward to getting started!

rock: Hey man, the more people the better on the HIT bandwagon. We have a few so far I think that DD has really promoted this program like crazy. I am looking forward to making some good gains on it.

DD: LOL, I'll let you know what I think of ETS bud. Me and Chris actually go back quite a ways. He's known me for a couple of years now.

soxmuscle: Hey man, I completely know how you feel bud, and trust me, I am in the same boat! I am coming from training every single day with high-volume. I mean I was training nonstop before, and now it's every other day for 20 minutes in the gym, its the opposite. It is definitely a little tough mentally to deal with this, but honestly I want to give it a shot and see how my body responds to it. I just have this fear of getting fat because I am training so infrequently with such little volume, and I refuse to do cardio.

Definitly a journal I'll be watching. Were both on the same boat if you know what I mean.

 

[M.J.H.]

soxmuscle: Hey man, thanks for stopping by. I hope that you continue to check out my journal because I am honestly really curious how I end up doing with HIT. I am hoping for some great results. It's extremely tough mentally so far, trust me, I am barely hanging on. Coming from a higher volume/frequency style training routine it's just killing me to train every other day any only 15-20 minutes. I feel like I am getting fat, etc.

Let's go Monstar - Post a workout I need to get some ideas

 

[M.J.H.]

yellowmoomba: I am about to post my workout from today bud, I am doing HIT as simple as possible. Just a single set to failure or slightly past failure, for each exercise.

Back

Good back workout today, still having a tough time mentally dealing with the HIT style training. I am not sure what my problem is, I guess because in the gym I am used to doing set after set after set---and now it's just one single working set per exercise.

T-Bar Rows: 385 x 8!

Support Rows: 300 x 5 + 2 (assisted)

Nautilus Pullovers: 280 x 9

Standing BB Curls: 125 x 7

Hammer Curls: 60's x 6

Hit a nice PR today on t-bar rows. Of course I do them ghetto style on one side of a barbell, and use a v-bar attachment. Hit 385 for 8, which is honestly a HUGE PR for me, not too shabby at all IMO. I tried a couple of times for that 9th rep but I couldn't get it. Did some support rows afterwards, great set! Had my spotter help me with the last 2. Lot of help on the 2nd assisted rep, lol. Did a set of pullovers to failure then a set of BB curls to failure. And finally some hammer curls to failure. The hammer curls I was just exhausted for. Good set, though.

Diet:
M1- MRP + 2% milk
M2- grilled chicken + cheese soft taco
M3- Swole preworkout
M4- whey protein + 2% milk
M5- ?

Sleep: 7.5 hours.

Day 15 of 6-OXO, 3 caps 2x per day.

Great W/O there Mike. Congrats on the PB on T-bar rows. Don't they hurt your spinal erectors though? Before on your other programs, were you taking your sets to failure or not? I'm there with you on the Mental part of HIT. Hopefully we'll get there

 

[M.J.H.]

rock: Hey bud, thanks for the support man I really appreciate it. My lower back doesn't get hit too hard with the t-bar rows. I mean somewhat of course but nothing too horrible. On my other programs before HIT I was taking certain sets to failure, but not all of them at all. Just a couple of working sets per exercise I would take to failure. The rest were shy of failure. Mentally HIT is absolutely KILLING me, lol.

 

[yellowmoomba]

Nice lifts!! 385 x 8 is crazy on T-bars

 

[PreMier]

What kind of MRP are you using?

 

[Duncans Donuts]

 

[M.J.H.]

Sorry, DD, I prefer volume style training.

 

[Duncans Donuts]

No hard feelings...good luck

 

[M.J.H.]

Thanks DD, I appreciate that my friend.
