Honestly, I am surprised to hear it Igi, but glad. I was afraid you were in for several days of discomfort. Defo keep it conservative/ just get a good flush going.

Dang, you must be close to some really good venues, Igi. Take advantage of it, buddy. That's an uncommon opportunity.

Creed the movie, not the band. Lol.

But yeah, there's an incredible venue a block away from my city apartment. My house is about an hour NW of DC, but I have an apartment in the city where I stay during the week so I don't have to deal with traffic. So I go to tons of shows there. Love it.

Thanks man. There's still some discomfort but nothing like the past two days. HAW was surprised this morning as well when I wanted to play.. She was like what about your neck?

[Bio-Active]

Wide grip pull downs

Seated rows

Bent over rows

Igi how was the movie?

You know, it wasn't the best installment for me, but I'm a pretty big Rocky fan so I really enjoyed it. Sly typically does quality in this series IMO with maybe the exception of V. I'd recommend it if you're a fan.

I should be sleeping but for various reasons I'm not. I'm awake and just thinking about things. I keep going back to my training session today..... Trying to relive it. It's such a painful place but was the most enjoyable part of my day. I also got to thinking about this thread..... We're all so focused on training hard and reaching failure that we may lose sight of proper form. We want our weights to go up but what good is increasing weight to increase weight? If that increase won't help to build mass - what good is it to us? What this thread, Marcus, kel, and others have done is to highlight the importance of HIT. It shows the successful nature of it. It shows that you can be a beast. There's no fvcking doubt in my mind that HIT is a proven method to a freaky physique. This thread is an inspiration to not just the beginners but veterans also. We should never stop learning. This shit is a long journey - you won't learn HIT over night. You won't read 200 pages of explanations and just go and apply it. You will TRY but more than likely will be unsuccessful. To some this might mean you give up. To a true HITer..... Failing to reach failure was actually a success. You realized there could be something different to do or try. You never fail..... You learn. Then one day.... It'll come. It'll smack you in the face and your world will turn upside down. You'll be on the floor in the worst pain of your life (maybe next to nach' s 15 surgeries :-p) - you'll see the light so to speak. In that moment..... No training session will be the same anymore. That's when your journey really begins. You've been going hard for 8 years..... But the journey only has just begun. You've unlocked a tool that most never will..... Most never could mentally get there. You just did..... Welcome to HIT motherfvckers!

Haz, I very much appreciate your posts and sharing your experiences. When I started HIT, I thought I was hitting failure. I truly believed I was, but then I thought about it. I wasn't hitting it properly on all sets or exercises. I wasn't pushing myself beyond, even if I thought I was at the time. And the more I read the more I'm only scratching the surface of failure and the damn HIT fundamentals. So I'm sure it sounded like I was doing HIT after a couple weeks, but that was me TRYING to do HIT. It is truly eye opening and I love it!

You're right, it is a journey and a rough, albeit fun one. I appreciate the help and commitment of all of you!

He was on drugs or something and flipped out. Either way, was never a Creed (the band) fan. Don't want any ugly rumors getting started. I have a reputation to uphold. Haha

Shoulders for myself today. Best workout I have had in a few days. It felt good.

DB Scruggs 2f 2w 10 DS 5 DS 5 (8 DS 4 DS 3 for 2nd working set) First working weight I missed judge . WTF

DB Presses 2F 1W 8 2f DS 4 1F

Front Bar Raises 1F 1W 12 DS 5 DS 5 then .5 reps

Rope pulls to fore head (back delts) Pinky facing up 2F 1W 10 2F DS 6 2F 1N

Sit down lateral Raises (did these till I couldn't move my arms on working set with my drop set weight) 1F 1W 6 2f DS 4 DS 4 2f 1N

It's was fast pace and to the point. I lowered the weight a touch after reading Haz post and watched my form and slowed down a bit. Which i think made me get a few more reps in over the usual 12.Miss judged that also shouldn't have went that low. But o well. Thanks for the tip Haz! It got the blood pumping for sure.

Guys if u see anything I need to change or do better let me know. I'm here to Fvcking grow. Not type about it.

So my back feels the best it has in a few months after squatting. I did three things different, a massive amount warm up, wore my TP's belt and dead lifted on wed. My question, next week should I just do the same, or one by one remove and see how I feel. I thinking this way because I dont have enough time to warm up for 40 minutes, I dont like wearing a belt because when I go down deep it binds on my hips and ribs. Deads Im ok with, they will stay. I just tried lastt week doing them on leg day but that sucked ass.

[clarky.]

Yes i like to train delts and traps together bio. I used to do traps with back but changed it up on advice from AG and the big man and i've stuck with going traps with delts ever since.

[Igifuno]

Planning on it. Need to be careful with this neck thing but I feel pretty good so just need to think though every rep and make sure form is on point. Can't tell you how frustrated I've been the past few weeks with lack of consistency from work/stress. Dying to get back in the swing.

it doesn't rake much even just changing the order of the lifts or the rep ranges usually is enough
