Back went well today. By the time I got to the dungeon my back felt fatigued as my office chair SUCKS and I slouch a bit. It came around though after warming up:
Heavy bent over rows: One set with RP and drop. Back is getting stronger and thicker I think.
Low cable rows: Max weight + 100lbs. One straight set, minute rest then another with a drop.
Front pulldowns: Two sets, last with drop. Strict on these. Always strict. Focus.
Shrugs: Heavy. Always. One set with RP then drop.
Shoulders:
Front presses on smith: One set Heavy with RP and drop
Side raises: One straight set. One with double drop
Incline bent raises: Two slow, straight sets. Small muscle, gotta control it and not swing through it
Dumbell one arm upright's: One set very slow. Fried.
Feeling it now hours later. Definitely making progress with my back. Strength going up as well.

Utterly destroyed both halves of my arms. I've been home for 30min and still pumped to hell. I didn't bleed but I swear it felt like the.skin was too thin to hold it in. measured when I hit home @ 17.75". 18 just around the bend.
They still hurt bad. I think I need a hot shower and a woman to massage them.
Warm up, 50 reps each:
Straight bench, 135lb
Just the bar:
Straight bar curls
Straight bar hammer curls
Straight bar skull crushers
rope pushdowns
Got a good pump now but not fatigued yet. Just blood flowing.
Preacher curls, curly bar
1 feeler
2 working, triple drop.set with rp's
Used 10x10lb, 5 per side. Dropped 1 each side, continued, dropped 1each again, continued. Dropped 1 each, continued.
Rested and dropped down to 1x10 each side. I could only rep that about 6 times but pushed through the pain and brain for 4 more plus a few half reps.
Flexed and held it both biceps for 30 seconds. I'm literally on fire now but I've just begun. Its 55°f in the gym but I'm sweating. heaters are for mortals...
Incline curls, DB
Haz concentration curls to opposite shoulder
Low cable concentration curls
used drops, rp, negatives and forced reps on all. My arms feel unbalanced. biceps are engorged and quivering from repeatedly being pushed beyond failure but triceps are still unworked. Must remedy that.
Close grip bench
2 feelers
2 working: 235 x 8, drop 185 x 6, rp, 2 more, rp 1 more. Rest. Repeat
V bar pushdown
1 feeler, 2 working.
(Stack -2) x 6.5, drop, x6, drop, x6, pain n brain told to stuff it, did 3 more
really.sore. Arms look ridiculous and feel like they might burst.
Single arm stirrup pushdowns,.over and under, 2 sets each
Finished with as many reps as I could get with a straight bar, the same pattern as.my.warm up. Got much less than 50. Lol. Total.failure achieved. I threw up.some bile but bit it back. That was my cue to leave
Time to go home and EAT.
50min.
Best arm session I've had in weeks.

That's a lot of work in 50 minutes, Java!
There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

Yes very nice. Sounds like pain is the theme here. I can't be left out. Time to crush back/tris t - 1 hour.

I just shifted my training from training each body part twice a week (half a body part one session, the other half later in the week) which enabled me to move more weight certainly but never gave me that fully fatigued feeling even though it was HiT style.
This week, despite being a little under the weather, I have reverted to fully hitting a body part only one per week. I've had some serious post workout discomfort and have had an itch in my right upper pec all day today. All this despite moving less overall weight for that body part.
Yesterday's chest workout, working sets only
Incline dumbell press
1 straight set
1 double drop set
Flat dumbell press
1 straight set
1 double drop
Incline flyes
1 straight set
5 sets and I'm seriously considering dropping that flat straight set in future and doing only 4 sets max.
People look at me funny only doing a few sets. LosersNO SOURCES GIVEN

Yeah, I'm still a bit dubious about the one set approach but only a bit Reason I'm thinking of dropping that set is because my weight drops 5% and reps drop from the incline and then drops another 5% on the drop set. I feel I should be at least as strong on the flat.
Have to say though, my chest hasn't been this sore in a loooooooong time.NO SOURCES GIVEN

If I'm not panting, I keep going without rest. Rest usually consists of the time it takes to add/strip weights or move from one station to another. I don't want to reach failure due to lack of oxygen but barring that, failure is the name of the game. How much weight I can use isn't what I'm focused on.
I think that is why we need a feeler set for each new movement, to gauge where the muscle is at that moment. What I did last time I trained triceps is important to a degree since it provides a reference point but my last session wouldn't have been exactly like the current one due to rotation of exercises and other variables so I don't pay a lot of attention to it. If I can breathe normally and a 20lb weight feels really heavy and gets the job done, that's my working weight.
IDK if that follows the HIT philosophy precisely but my take on it is total volume in shortest time to produce absolute failure = adaptation (growth). Rest allows the muscle to recuperate, which just means it will take longer to hit failure on my next set. That seems to me to be counterproductive. Recuperation happens when I get home. No time for that in the gym.
50min is longer than I usually spend in there. 35-40min is usually enough.Last edited by Java Man; 12-14-2013 at 04:21 PM.

I'd do upper chest one day then flat work a few days later.
Back thickness one workout and width another
Delt compound one workout and isolation another
Calve, tri's and bi's would get different exercises on each of the 2 days I trained them too.
I liked it and I definitely think it had some benefit, moved more weight for sure.
Only quads and hams were getting trained fully in the same workout.NO SOURCES GIVEN
