**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[almostgone]

Ag first off thanks. U guys give me a lot more compliments then I hold.myself on lol. Gives me the boost I need lol.

Second yeah I think a very long time ago Marcus helped me with a front load too. I believe it was with my test/mast cycle.

But mast did not agree with me (too much detail to go into. Although I do have a thread on it lmao).

My issue is with all.my health problems. If and when I cycle I want short busrt. Hence the wanting to front load.

Short burst that Marcus likes (6wks) would be the way to go. But honestly only short esters I've used have been tren and npp.

So this time I will use c...and front load. Maybe in a year I'll try a short 6wks with prop. After I re read his thread on that.

I'm totally in agreement with health being the priority and making sure everything checks out with your Dr./surgeon before you get started.
Health concerns are why my blasts are basically upper end TRT or just a hair above. I already donate blood at every opportunity and still have to occasionally self- phlebotomize to keep my hematocrit under 57-58%. A full blown cycle (burst or otherwise) would probably turn my blood to sludge and put too much workload on my heart.
I think with your plan to prime beforehand and lifting HIT stye, you're really going to be happy with your results. A burst cycle works out nicely priming beforehand especially if you time it so that you start coming off of a pull back.

[almostgone]

Wanna everyone in here and happy xmas and many gains in the form of binging tomorrow have a day all and thank you for listening to me shite on all year and help pushing me forward.

I am looking forward for the next few days off to chill with my fam and relax set new goals for next year and even fire a cycle or two in there been off for too long.

Same to you, DCI. I just finished off too much of a "challenge burrito" from one of the local Mexican restaurants and am going to crash. Holiday gatherings aren't really my thing so I'm hanging out with my boy while.the wife goes.to her family's get-together.
Got my boy some big strips of buffalo hide and probably with fight with him over it later today.

Everyone have a safe and enjoyable Christmas.

Well sh!t, I slept 2 hours and was dreaming I was working legs and the next thing I know the wife is poking at me with her reaching stick. She said she walked through the bedroom (she is getting ready to go the her family get together), anyway , she said I was growling/grunting and mumbling something so she woke me up.
Sitting up for a few then I'll try sleep again.

LOL..Yes sir, I had better control of waking up when I was younger, but not so much anymore.

[almostgone]

OK guys/gals, going to try more sleep. Enjoy yourselves and be safe.

[kelkel]

at times like this you need to look back especially you and see what you have overcome and achieved. I am being serious here I really don't think many of us would of done what you have done if we had gone through what you had with the accident you overcome, so you need to stop moaning and think of this as another test of your strength.

There it is right there. Heed that advice Nach!

[kelkel]

Merry Christmas you fuking cvnts

I'll steal Marcus's quote and pass it on to the rest of you guys here.
Everyone have a great Holiday!

[NACH3]

I think you need a reality check Nach, have a think back to what's happened in your life and what you have overcome previously with all your accidents and near death experiences. I remember a photo you posted along time ago and you looked like a Cambodian on a diet when you was ill and the transformation you have done is remarkable to anyone's standards.

I know when people go through some sh1t or emotion battle no matter how unimportant it may seem to other peoples grief or pain on your scale of one to ten its a ten because its the top thing on your list and in your life at this moment in time everything else is irrelevant but at times like this you need to look back especially you and see what you have overcome and achieved. I am being serious here I really don't think many of us would of done what you have done if we had gone through what you had with the accident you overcome, so you need to stop moaning and think of this as another test of your strength. By the way I don't mean stop posting about your problems because its good to vent and express I just mean what are you really moaning about, think about that.

You have to clear your mind and think about the problem, your teeth and gums are causing you fuking heart ache. What is the solution??? Its only time before you get back on track, infact I would welcome this time and make this a pre HIT break and pullback to what your going to attack your body with anyway. You train way to much and to hard for to long without resting so enjoy this don't get pissed off about it. There are far worse situations you could be in trust me, I could tell you some shit it would make you cry what ive been through but no matter how severer or insignificant your problem is it could always be worse and all this shit is a part of life.

These are obstacles what you have to overcome. Ive always used the gym as my stress reliever but sometimes with certain things what happen I couldn't go and even when ive been at my lowest and I am not talking about tooth ache here, I've always cleared my head and said to myself "Is that all you got, is that the most you can give me" ive used the emotional state for future gym sessions and also to build myself up again to the strong minded person I really am. Emotion is a powerful thing and mind control is even more powerful and learning to control certain emotions when they start to come inside your body and head is all part of being a stronger person. How would you ever know how to deal with life if you haven't gone through anything???? sometimes the best people to talk to are people who have been through life's ups and downs but most of all the best person is yourself. Find the tools to use for you to overcome whatever your pain your going through and if by any reason you can't ask someone who can help you.

Nach, is that all you got?





Merry Christmas you fuking cvnt

LOL - I had asked myself that same question yesterday.... I said im not normal - I've died and come back stronger than ever and im worried about a little time off and a tooth ache(wtf) man the fvk up! - or how to deal with a situation without lifting to release my anger... I did it for yrs prior - this is just a sm bump in a road... LOL

IS THAT ALL I GOT? If it is im a cvnt - fvk you...I own you MFer - you want pain - you'll be screamin for me to stop once I start HIT again next time you want to get weak on me at least make it harder than this.

Thanks for the reality check fellas!

[Bodacious]

Merry MFin Christmas you f*ckers!!!! LOL...

Hope you guys enjoy it and enjoy the family time. Time is something you can never get back...

I have to today and tomorrow then we are off on our cruise...

Nach man I hope your doing okay, hang in there bud.

[almostgone]

I've been a huge proponent of static Smith lunges for years. When I say static I mean this: position your foot slightly ahead of the bar and extend the other leg back in the stretched position. This is the position you remain in for all reps with that leg, then rest a few seconds and switch to the other leg. It's kinda like a one leg squat but by using the Smith you take out all the balance issues and can focus on the work at hand. And anyone who's done dumbell lunges across a floor knows exactly what I mean. You look and feel like your drunk doing this movement with dumbells....

Anyway, my point is to try this movement is you have access to a Smith machine. Also don't be afraid to pile some weight on the apparatus and crush your legs even more. The stability it provides allows this.

Rant over...

Kel, is the form used in the link below pretty much how you setup for your Smythe lunges (except I know you have more plates on the bar) ?

That's it..... Except he has his front foot raised an inch or two on a platform.

Thank you Big Man for that offer... I'm sure it will be used

Also, to Clarky, AG, Igi, DCI, Haz, Sfla, Bod 'everyone' here in the Dungeon - always appreciate your support!

Everytime I've done smith lunges I've done them in the static position - it absolutely hammers the quads! I've always done the set without taking a break... Well maybe it's about 10-15sec to set up... And I would do like Kel and start with the opposite leg each time... It's azing how fast I Got the weight up on those(I would rotate those heavy then end my compound movements with them at higher rep ranges... But the pump is so much more real than stepping into it everytime... Id rather pulse them statically then any other way!

[DCI]

Food so good and so full had aromatic duck for starters was unreal then had special satay with rice and french fries for ye dam americans or chips for us normal english speak fckers haha

Have a great evening all.

[kelkel]

AG. What Haz said. I don't let go of the bar though. That guy must be exhausted to be doing them with only body-weight.

Merry Christmas you nasty freaks of nature.

I've been peaking in just not posting. Been pretty distracted with life stuff but getting into the spirit now. Sitting around with my girls, tree is lit up, wrapping a few gifts, and enjoying the family.

Best wishes to you guys and here's to a great 2015. Many of us made new friendships and physical progress that new goals will be created from.

Appreciate you guys and hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.

I usually walk my lunges out, but Ive stopped recently because it makes my knee hurt. Do you think statics may help with this. I guess Ill just try. Ive been focusing on presses, hacks instead but I think the hacks irritate my lower back.

[BG]

Oh ya, I took yesterday, today and tomorrow off, I need to kick being sick, its making work miserable.

Sucks. My wife was sick for 3 weeks with something else, now she's got what I have, this is one miserable house hold. Also the rabbit of mine I just spent $800 on surgery is acting weird and on top of that I had to give my wife that money out of my bonus !! Urgggggg

Merry Christmas all, just remember the greatest gift of all.................CHRIST'S SALVATION.

It will definitely help, imho. It removes all the struggle for balance and resultant odd strain on the knee. Stability is easy with this movement.

What should I do?

I'm with my fiancés family. Her parents, aunts, uncles, etc.

They made pork shoulder and partridge which I love and a bunch of other crap I'm not a fan of. They also made plain white rice for me because I don't like the rice they make.

I'm two plates deep and hardly anyone has eaten. I'm scared of I take a 3rd plate people are gunna be like "wtf this guy doin? Eatin all the food"

What would u do?

[DCI]

Eat be grand normally they'd be more offended if you didnt eat

Typically other cultures want u to eat more.

Every time I'm at my in laws. The only thing her dad says to me, (well only thing I understand) Is eat! And he keeps handing me food!

[Sfla80]

Never made it to in laws tonight. Just got home from 14 hr shift.

But wife brought home a weird mixed off food for me from her house.

King crab about 1.5#, 10oz lobster tail, fried rice, fried shrimp, and lasagna.

And I demolished it all.

For all those who won't be on tomorroq. I wish every one here a very merry Xmas and happy holidays. I hope it brings you happiness in what ever you do.

This year will be the best Xmas I have ever had with my little man being able to spend it with us. It's been one hell of a year with big downs for me and even bigger ups.

I want to thank everyone in this thread (and board) for every piece of advise, wisdom, and general friendships.

Merry Xmas everyone. I am off to spend time with my little guy and wife before passing out. Long day tomorrow of traveling.

Be safe and enjoy!
