MonStar's HIT Journal!

[M.J.H.]

Damnit.

Sorry about all of the journals lately, for whatever reason I have been jumping all over the place with my journals/training. I can't figure out what the hell has gotten into me lately. Whatever---I am looking forward at this point, not at all looking back. So please keep the posts positive guys, I don't need to hear anything negative. Appreciate it.

Wish me luck!

Good luck with HIT again Mike. Do you think it's going to be twice as good the 2nd time around or something?

 

[PreMier]

Goodluck Mike!

Wishing you the BEST of luck

Excellent workout, but man, can't you just bring back one of the 34 previously started "MonStar's HIT Journal!" ?

Hey Mikey...


It's been a while, I've been a little busy with family but I have been reading what you've been doing....
I actually caught that video that you had posted lifting all that weight back a couple of months ago...Damn man, that was awe inspiring....
Anyway you continue on doing what you are doing and I'll continue being entertained and continue enjoying reading your journals....

Be nice.. some people feel more confident when they start a new journal

 

[M.J.H.]

Monolith: LOL.

Arnie's left nu: Haha, I think that this is the 3rd time around, not the 2nd. But thanks for stopping by bud, appreciate it.

Jake: Thanks man.

sara: Thank you, I appreciate that.

soxmuscle: Thanks for the support bud, I appreciate it---for whatever reason after I binge like crazy I feel like I should start a new journal, off of a clean slate, I don't know why. Just an old habit.

Tony: Thanks for the support man, means a lot. Yeah I hope that all is going well, as I haven't heard much from you lately. Hang in there bud, and I will too.

TCD: Thanks for reminding me.

Hence the positive posts only statement in my first post of this journal.

Nice to have a rest day today, I had work to do on my car, I really didn't have much time to do anything else, honestly.

Diet:
M1- MRP + 1% milk
M2- tuna & cheese sandwich
M3- 4% cottage cheese + mixed fruit
M4- turkey & cheese sandwich, garden salad + honey mustard dressing
M5- scrambled eggs

Sleep: 8 hours.

 

[Cold Iron]

Sweet bro, then i guess your going for the hat trick. GL

 

[Rocco32]

Good luck Mike, looked like a good w/o yesterday. Give this HIT at least 2 months before changing. I know it's hard, I'm like you and keep changing my mind but with everything I've been reading about HIT it really makes sense. And I think you definately have the intensity to make each set count. It's going to be real interesting to see where HIT takes you and I would like to see that. Kick ass buddy.

 

[M.J.H.]

Arnie's left nu: LOL, I guess so, thanks bud.

rock: Hey man, thanks for stopping by. Yeah yesterday was definitely a hell of a great workout---I was extremely pleased with my back workout. No complaints at all. Yeah for whatever reason I have this thing for binging and then starting up with another journal/program. Really gets annoying trust me, and I am in the process of breaking the habit. I would definitely like to see where HIT takes me, as well.

Push

Decline BB Presses: 315 x 7 + 2 (assisted)

Nautilus Pec-Deck Flyes: 190 x 12

Upright Rows: 185 x 6 + 2 (assisted)

Nautilus Lateral Raises: 240 x 9

Seated French Presses: 155 x 5 + 2 (assisted)

Damn good workout today! Really hit my chest/shoulders/triceps hard. My only complaint about today's workout was that I didn't warmup my elbows enough before jumping into French presses---kinda' pissed me off. Whatever.

Diet:
M1- MRP + 1% milk
M2- banana
M3- Swole preworkout
M4- whey protein + 2% milk
M5- tuna salad sandwich, mixed fruit
M6- 2 chicken breasts, rice, chili
M7- tuna melt

Sleep: 7 hours? I am honestly not sure at all, I was woken up a few times last night.

 

[Rocco32]

Another awesome w/o! Why do you do Upright rows for your main shoulder exercise as opposed to a pressing movement? Doesn't the Upright row focus more on side and rear lats?

 

[PreMier]

Upright rows hit the delts/traps.

 

[M.J.H.]

rock: Hey man, thanks for stopping by. I honestly don't think that an overhead pressing exercise will be all that effective after taking a set of chest pressing past failure. After my decline pressing today my front delts and triceps were trashed, so I knew if I tried doing some kind of overhead press I would just be wasting my time. Upright rows like Jake said hit your delts and traps---and I take a shoulder-width grip on the bar, by the way.

Jake: Thanks for stopping by.

Hey you

How's it going? Sorry I haven't been by lately. How's the diet? Well, I hope. Anyways, just thought I'd check in. Have a great weekend

Just noticed this on the way out of your journal.

You're not the only one with that habit so don't feel so bad. I go through simililar rituals every time I binge as well I think it's the all or nothing attitude, and it's a very hard habit to break.

 

[Rocco32]

Thanks Jake and Mike, I'll keep that in mind when redoing my program!

 

[Duncans Donuts]

This journal won't last.

 

[chris mason]

Mike, I sent you a bottle of ETS so that you might relay your experience with it. Can you please do that?

 

[M.J.H.]

klmclean: Thanks so much for the support, I really appreciate it. I agree that it's an awful habit to get into and honestly it's even harder to break the habit. For whatever reason no matter what that satisfaction I get binging is so hard to replace. It's almost scary what kind of satisfaction I get when I start binging, I have no idea why. Or how I got to this point. Whatever---I am trying to overcome it.

Jake: Great, looking forward to it bud.

DD: I guess we'll wait and see, right?

Chris: I know, sorry I haven't mentioned much lately. Honestly I don't know what else to say, my DOMS is 90% gone. I am going to start a thread in the supplement forum after I finish up with the ETS.

Thank you. My hope is that people here will take a true account of the product from you and then give the product a try themselves. It is so hard for people to trust anything a supplement company has to say these days. So, I hope they can trust a fellow member.
