    I'm basically asking for your opinion.
    Heavy Flys - stretch it as big as possible and flex at the top of contraction(not cave the chest).... Also, DBs give a better ROM -

    Also, point the bells inward(so the outer part of DB is higher putting more emphasis on the pecs...

    Maybe a slighly wider grip but I don't like going wide due to my shoulders - actually stronger w/a narrower grip

    Yes mate try either of your those approaches if your bells aren't heavier enough. Both will pre exhaust the pecs

    Thanks. I appreciate the advice, Nach.

    I also do not go too wide because I feel less stable due to my old RC blowout.

    But with DBs I can incorporate some changes.

    Very thoughtful idea, Marcus. Many often forget that to help refeed and increase glycogen stores related to performance, that 24 hours is generally recommended, at least, for optimum output. The liver will take first dibs, with your skeletal muscle sweeping in for the overload.

    A good friend of mine has suite tickets to the local NBA game tonight. I could care less about the game. But there is food!!!

    After chest and PWO we are jamming out, so it will be an amazing chance to carb-insane-load.

    Meatballs reportedly as well.

    Arms for me today. Also first time I workout with someone that knew what they was doing. Pump was unreal.

    Biceps

    Sit down machine Curl one arm 2f 12,12 reps 1W 8 reps 2 forced 2 negs

    Incline hammers(Chest on incline bench) So your turn around... did 3F 12 12 10 1W 14 (Couldn't get a good weight here) Still learning under est myself

    Small bar curls 1f 13 1w 8reps 2 forced 2 neg

    Incline preacher curls 1f 12 reps 1w till i couldn't move the weight then I did 2 negs ...(To light here)

    Triceps
    Bar Machine Push down over hand grip 2f 12 12 reps 2W 12 and 9 reps

    Db behind head 3F 1W 13

    Rev Grip machine pull down 2f 12 10 reps 1W 7 DS 3 DS3

    Cross body one arm pull down 1F 14 reps 1w 8 DS 3 DS (Dropped to much just did it till I couldn't do it anymore)


    Got a good workout in. I did learn something today. When I have a spotter I seem to be able to life more. I was having trouble getting my working weight. I always write down my workouts and I usually switch movements up every other week. I went back and checked the weight I used last time doing some of these movements. I had to go way up in weight and was still getting 10-12 reps on most of my working sets. So here is my question usually I don't have a spotter he txt me last night and asked if he could workout with me. I told him yea but be ready to work.It was a epic workout for sure. I just cant rely on him working out with me every day so what can I do to use the weights like I did today?

    Hope that makes sense.

    Also please good or bad advice is welcome. Thanks

    IMHO you should be using the same weight or more each time your reps hit a certain rep range.... Overload! Why wouldn't you lift just as much if you didn't have a spotter - on unilateral movements(one arm preachers etc) you can give yourself your own forced reps and then into negs(w/other arm)

    I never have a partner(mostly they end up slowing me down - but a good partner will push you more - that's what I miss! But I've not ever heard of someone going lighter w/arms w/no spot?!?! Just doesn't make sense to me...
    Now on chest I can see you can't do forced reps or negs w/out spotter - but you certainly can go to failure and beyond w/drops or RPs! Or flys into presses - always a protocol to use w/out. Spotter

    Also, the lifting more could also be due to you having someone else there working out w/you - I sometimes feel if a spotter is spotting me and his fingers go toward that bar I go into overdrive!

    You could throw in some close grip bench press or dips for the triceps and take out pushdowns. I would also do the hammers last in the bicep workout just my preferences because of the forearm involvement.

    Well done and keep on pushing for more

    Am I reading this correctly, that you move from bis to tris and back and forth?

    Does anyone else do this? Thoughts from the group as to the effectiveness of this approach? Seems it would be more rest for body parts.

    What separates the freaks?

    If you want to be bigger, thicker and more dense, well then up your game and learn to train to your max. Don't talk about it fuking do it. Learn to release the inner aggression and stop being a normal man

    watch this motivation video guys

    smaller muscle groups I work 2 at a time. I get twice the work done in the same amount of time. My bi's rest while I'm hitting tris. The bigger groups chest, legs and back get there own day

    I used to and loved it - but since switching to all bis or tris first then vice versa has dug deeper into my arms -

    I feel now since switching... It's much less rest for that BP - and imho if your atacking a BP tear it the Fvk down completely and as much as possible plus the pumps are much better... Though your working your whole arm your bis are getting too much rest when moving from bi to tri - that's my experience as I've done both w/good results but much better now!

    Works well either way - try it and see what works... I've just found that my bis don't react as well w/the longer rest I need to keep intensity high and kill that BP first then move on to tris

    Results of an under appreciated scientific study...

    Lifting positively for 4 seconds, a 2 second squeeze, and a 4 second negative produces the best effect on hypertrophy. No differences were found with slower reps.
    However, quicker reps were correlated with more joint-related injuries, possibly due to momentum

    HIT in regard to improving metabolism, specifically insulin sensitivity and metabolic activity:

    The efficacy of a high intensity exercise protocol, involving only ~250 kcal of work each week, to substantially improve insulin action in young sedentary subjects is remarkable. This novel time-efficient training paradigm can be used as a strategy to reduce metabolic risk factors in young and middle aged sedentary populations who otherwise would not adhere to time consuming traditional aerobic exercise regimes.

    -Following 2 weeks of HIT, the area under the plasma glucose, insulin and NEFA concentration-time curves were all reduced (12%, 37%, 26% respectively, all P < 0.001). Fasting plasma insulin and glucose concentrations remained unchanged, but there was a tendency for reduced fasting plasma NEFA concentrations post-training (pre: 350 ± 36 v post: 290 ± 39 μmol·l-1, P = 0.058). Insulin sensitivity, as measured by the Cederholm index, was improved by 23% (P < 0.01), while aerobic cycling performance improved by ~6% (P < 0.01).-


    Edited to include a synopsis:

    HIT principles, when applied to caloric use and hormone levels, showed an increase in insulin sensitivity. The amount of work we do in this thread is more than in the study, but the information relates directly.

    Another study concludes that
    "The gain in strength measured by 1 RM was ~10 times greater than the strength gains measured with the iso- kinetic testing modes, and the gains did not correlate with each other."

    "A 10-11% increase in skeletal muscle in untrained participants (of the quadriceps) demonstrates that hypertrophy and muscle strength are not correlated, but did demonstrate that changes appeared to be more tan neurological adaptations to training."

    Edited to include a synopsis:

    Using HIT and not volume training, showed a small increase in muscle volume that was more than just "muscle memory" after 12 weeks.

    Also, 1 rep maxes increased dramatically during that time; in some cases 10x!!!

    Another literature review includes this remark

    "a 6.1% increase in muscle mass has been found after just 5 wk of training"

    I do not have access to the entire study, but the abstract discussed training individuals to 1RM (1 rep max) on biceps. Rest times were 3 days (static). And repetition timing was not monitored, but theorized to be approx: 9sec for both concentric and eccentric.

    It could be argued that this is due to neurologic adaptations, but that is not included in the abstract.

    Edited to include a synopsis:

    This study also showed a large increase in muscle mass due to HIT of only 5 weeks, but it may have been "muscle memory"

    another study that no one wanted.

    Edited to include a synopsis:

    This is a big one!!!

    Using a weight that is your 1RM during the positive and negative portion of the lift, when used for greater than 6 weeks, directly increased muscle mass beyond "muscle memory"

    To me, and us, this means actually hitting failure and then concentrating on the negative rep, will ABSOLUTELY increase muscle mass after 6 weeks.

    This may also lead us to understanding the pullback period. Maybe after ~6 weeks a recommended pullback should be implemented? There was no evidence that going longer than 6 weeks would continue the hypertrophy, because the study was only 6 weeks long.

    Try foam or rumble rolling your hams out, its an excellent bit of kit and really helps the ROM and stiffness you can feel doing legs and also back.

    Interesting stuff for sure.

    I hope I'm seen as part of this community. I hope that just because I'm new and untested that you don't see me as a part-timer. I want to implement HIT the right way so that I can reap its rewards.

    I enjoy the science of muscle. I enjoy trying to help others understand it.

    I hope to give as much as I gain from everyone here.

    Which means I've got some big shirts to fill.

    Just doing my part.

    Did chest the night good session but i did get a wee niggle from the right shoulder.

    Incline db press 1 working +rp 1 drop

    Inclice db fly 1 working DD

    Slight incline db fly 1 working 1 drop

    Pec dec 1 working 1 drop

    Done.. No cardio not much but it was heavy and made it count just never wanted to push the shoulder.

    Take it easy on the weight for a couple of weeks or go with pre exhaust and try and get the wee Mrs to massage it

    i use a lacrosse ball but need a rumble roller. i don't feel my roller helps my hammies much. i also have really super tight hip flexors, calves, IT bands, and achilles. i have a knot on the bottom of my foot that baffles doctors and PTs.

    the ball hurts like bloody hell but i think it helps some.

    I had a bit of a pelvic tilt when squatting due to tight hip flexors and my rumble sorted it right out, I also did a lot of IT band work but that really hurts but I did like the pain . The ball should target the area pretty good though.

    having all of these issues has set me back, feel weak!

    Agreed, more external and internal rotations and some broomstick stretches. Also plenty of warm up sets 3-4 sets higher reps

    Check out Chris Duffins youtube site out, he has a lot of videos what will help loosen you up and also strengthen your muscles. Also some great advice on leverage and getting totally locked in pre lift.

    you like pain aswell? you'll have to come to one of my parties

    Which means I've got some big shirts to fill.

    Just doing my part.

    And doing it well. The scientific input is appreciated.

    After 6 weeks of training I've finally found what true failure is. All this time i've been training hard and failing on each side but it was truly failing. I've been rereading how Marcus gets into the mindset of working out and watching Yates the other day I said to myself you aren't working that hard. So today I decide to find that zone where you are just absolutely exhausted and unable to do anymore reps.

    Shoulders

    Seated dbell press

    2 w/u 2 feelers, 1 working set got 4 reps than a half and pictured needing to lift it again to save my daughter her life depended on me putting another rep, and whole body shaking I did one more rep, than another and couldn't move it again so dropped and got 2 more with 1 forced drop again and got 1 and 1 forced. I was fuking shaking like fuking crazy. Now I know when you say you couldn't possibly do another press bc there was no way.

    Seated side laterals

    1 w/u, 1 feeler, 1 working with drops using same motivation as earlier.

    Behind back side cable extensions

    1 w/u, 1 feeler, 1 working set with dd fuking almost screaming on these.

    Dbell shrugs

    2 w/u , 2 feelers , 1 working with dd.

    Holding gym bag hurts never pushed myself so hard ever. Thanks for the motivation and information here guys, I fuking killed it today no question.
