**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[Hazard]

Funny as I read that....only thing looked good to.me was the corn......and then u said that was the best. Lol. If you are gonna do tacos. U have to go over the top with them....something never seen.

Yet the wait was an hour long.... I was pissed lol. I went straight to the bbq joint after tht and got brisket haha

[almostgone]

Going to be a craptacular night @ work, but anyway. Still shooting for upper end of rep range on most lifts ams trying to get some blood into my arms. Picked up roughly .75"-1" comparing pre and post lift measurements. Now I won't look at a tape for a good 4-6 weeks.

Seated d'bell curl-2 w/u, Work-13,drop,4+ reps-3+-3+
Incline d'bell curls-2 w/u, Work-7,drop,4+reps-3+-2+. 1 rep less w/ right arm vs. left.
Bent over cable CC-Work-5-3+reps-3+ and 3 cheats w/ a 5 count slow negative.
Seated hammer curl-3+ reps, drop, 4+ reps- 3+
Triceps press down w/ bent handle-2 w/u, Work-6+,drop,5+. New weight on these but I can always move more weight w/ this handle.
Close grip Smythe press-1 w/u, Work-7,drop,6+ reps, -2+. New weight on these. For some reason after I hit the new weight on the triceps press down the close grip presses seemed easy. New weight on these. Nothing spectacular, but progress.
D'bell skulls-9+ reps, drop, 4+ reps. Very slow negative on last partial reps, roughly a long 5 count.

Finished off by stretching biceps off of a bar set about neck high in Smythe machine for a long 50 count, very painful.

46 minutes.

You're killing me. We usually smoke 2 briskets around the 4 the of July. It takes awhile, but worth it. Always get sad when it's gone, which doesn't take long around me.

[DCI]

Arms are sore today which is to be expected from doing marcus' routine that he posted feels good.

Today is just a lazy rest day and I need it.

[almostgone]

Was planning on a rest day myself, but the wife pulled a crown loose this morning, post and all. Will probably be tied up @ dentist office tomorrow, so aiming for either cardio or shoulders.
Eating a good b'fast and will be hitting the rack here in a few.

I've got a baptism to goto..... Fun fun

Yeah, the wife has a large family which is totally foreign to me. I usually go hang out with a dog if someone has one, otherwise I'll find a remote corner.

[Igifuno]

Speaking of extended family, what is up me bruthas?!

Great to see everyone still at it. I've been back in and pretty consistent lately. Feeling good.

My daughter is graduating in Tuesday, so feeling a little old, but I know all I need to do is come back here and I'll feel young again.

How's everyone doing?

How's it going man?

Exactly, like I said, if I start feeling old, this is the place to go

How's the fam Haz? Babies?

What's up chefman!? Doing good, work is crazy as always but made a good move and happy now. Finally finding time to be able to focus on health. How the wife, married life going well?

[marcus300]

Weighted Chin Ups 3x8/failure/failure then take off weights and do just bodyweight
Weighted Dips 3x10/failure/failure then take off weights and do just bodyweight
Standing Barbell Curls 3x10 superset with single arm curls 3x10 (lower weight midset if can't complete rep range)
Tricep rope pushdowns 3x10 superset with tricep kickbacks 3x10

That usually kills me for the arms. Perhaps I need more volume? On that same day I usually do some core at the end also, but thats irrelevant since the problem lies on the arms.

I doubt your going to failure on any of those exercises. Read the thread and get an idea what true failure means then condense your training and redesign your bi and tri workout. Read the whole thread and you will get an idea how best to really attack HIT and instead of concentrating on a certain numbers of sets and reps without really digging deep into those fibers

[Igifuno]

Marcus how are you?

This thread is like reading the Odessy now. I remember it was a challenge to read the whole thing 3 years ago. Well done. Hope all is good with you.

Hello my friend

You back for good?

[uhit]

I wasn't going to failure you are correct, however doing the routine you posted earlier hurt alot.

Im feeling it today now. Was very difficult moving furniture around the house today

[Igifuno]

Hello my friend You back for good?

I will absolutely make my best attempt to be more active, so yes. I always miss my friends here.

[zempey]

Last day out on the Left coast, it has been a great trip. We mm t to my buddie's daughter's wedding last night at a Vineyard up in the hills, stunning views. Definitely need to get back home and on track, the eating and drinking has really made a mess of my midsection. Managed 3 days in the gym this trip, so not too bad, was nice to hit the weights in the old setting. I really miss it out here, I knew I would, I have a strong desire to come back bit know I can't at this point in ouir lives. It is going to really fuk with me for a while, so I will have to vent it out on the weights when I get home. Having a big bbq sendoff today, going to be a rough time saying good bye again, I have really missed these friends. I'll be back full force Tuesday morning, and will get my summer diet dialed in, this trip delayed the cut a bit, but I shoyld be able to drop pretty quick once the tren is added in. Keep up the good work, you guys are killing it.

[marcus300]

Im feeling it today now. Was very difficult moving furniture around the house today

The routine I posted also had advanced protocols like drops asnd rest pause, you first need to learn how to truly go to failure, what failure means to you wont be what true positive failure is regarding HIT, its not something you can suddenly do it takes time to learn an also get the mind set

I will absolutely make my best attempt to be more active, so yes. I always miss my friends here.

Nice to see another Pisano!

[DCI]

You as well me Gaelic companion. How's the training going?

Great man leaner and bigger than ever so really happy. Hope all is good with you my man

[Igifuno]

Nice to see another Pisano!

Nice to meet you, Pisan!!

[Hazard]

The baptism is over! I survived! Now I hafta survive the party and I can go home :-/

I've got sweat running down my back, I had to stop and eat before coming to the party because they only have cold cuts, and to top it off all the seats are taken already lmao

[marcus300]

I wouldn't separate those groups...especially if u are already doing one body part a day....

Put an example of your routine up and let's see if everyone can critique it for u.

I've honestly have put almost 1.5- 2" on my arms since starting joining this thread.

woooow holy fuk that's great news, now that's serious well done. Looking well

I wont be putting my double bicep pose up again

[NACH3]

Nice to meet you, Pisan!!

Likewise, Igi!

little out numbered lol but that's A OK in my book - AWESOME group here - glad to be a part of

Lifted Friday. But the sky decided to quit pouring in me this weekend, so Saturday and Sunday were spent building a fence. Fortunately just one side, 60', plus a gate. Used pre built panels which was great, except i did everything, start to finish by myself. Those fkin panels started getting heavy!

I don't envy you..... I put y fence up also. Used about 16 of those panels..... 6' high

Nothin like a few old farts to make a 31yr old feel good :-)

Eating a good b'fast and will be hitting the rack here in a few.

...and the lifting didn't happen. When I woke up, arms were nicely sore and required stretching to get a decent ROM. Will lift in the morning before taking wife to the dentist. That will still put me as sticking to an every other day schedule recently.

[Igifuno]

Igi!! Glad to hear you're still at it, man! What's this "feeling old" talk?

AG me brutha! See, this is exactly what I mean.. I don't feel old at all anymore now!!

How are you man, family good?

[Igifuno]

Nothin like a few old farts to make a 31yr old feel good :-)

You were 20 years old when you joined this board
