**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[Igifuno]

I don't mention what I can lift because anyone can throw numbers on a computer screen but trust me when I say I am one fuking strong horse, I can rep what most powerlifters around my parts are doing one rep max with, it would shock many of you what I can lift but the most powerful thing on me or in me is my mind. My mind has been tested many times over the years from my job, personal life and training but I must say dropping down in size as been a hard one for me, what happed over the last 4 weeks as been really hard to deal with and I know its only temporary and the things I am going through but fuk me it fuks your head up. Ive always told people my mind is the most powerful thing ive got not my body and its been tested to the max recently. This morning I say " come on is that all you got" I am coming back with force

Not sure there is much that could hold you back for the long term. Thank YOU for the motivation Marcus. "Is that all you got" will be ringing in my head in my upcoming session today.

Guys I tell you I've never eaten so much sushi. The girls had soups before the sushi came so they couldn't eat much, I knew better.

Still, I'd love to tell you I killed the whole thing but just couldn't do it. Ended up taking a bunch home. Lol.

Good time at the theatre and just got home not too long ago.

Training in the morning (back) and then shopping again. Hopefully we'll be 99% done after tomorrow.

Showed the wife your pic of the sushi order. The wife doesn't eat sushi, but has seen me put away quite a bit. We have a semi-decent sushi place here in town that I may invade on one of my days off.
The wife says she's sending out by myself to eat as much sushi as I can put away and maybe swing by a friend's restaurant to have a couple of shots of Jack D. or whatever I'm in the mood for. I rarely drink anymore so a shot or two will be my limit.
She swears I'm stressed these days. Says I look like a can of whoop ass that's ready to explode.

Good morning fellas!!! Damn we had a blast yesterday!(So wish I could post a pic) Good times. My back pretty much slowed my down some just not all the way . It is getting somewhat better than it was though. Still icing and heating it several times throughout the day. Still trying to eat a good amount of food still. I have missed 4 workouts now. Which so far it has really hurt me, I don't think. (Hell I think I might look bigger in the mirror.) Just fell like crap for missing them.

I hope everyone in here is killing their workouts and doing good. I haven't posted much but I am still here and reading, always will be. This is me this is who I am and this is where I need to be. One day at a time.

Bod, I know it's a mind fvck, but I think you're doing really well. You're staying around here, expressing your frustrations, you've got a forward plan of attack with an attached timeline to begin training again, you're eating well. You're doing all the right things man.

I'm telling you, I would doubt if you lose a damn thing. Your body is going to be thrilled with the rest and you'll come back better than ever.

I totally agree with Igi. You're getting ready to learn a lot about your body and how important time off is for both your mind and body.

Marcus(Big Man) is back!

I'm being tested as we speak... 'great analogy and line .... "Is that all you got" this is how I need to approach things at this time(going thru some set backs ATM) but great to see you pushing strong and we know you rep what most do once!

[Hazard]

You'll get through it all Marcus. You're a breed of man that's meant for this. You love the pain, the hard work, and the results. Not many people can train the way you do..... Lol I really think it'd kill someone that's outa shape haha.

Get through the shit and then get back to it. Not that you have to be told..... I'm sure it calls you.

Both of those vids Clarky are exactly what I needed to hear(especially about 'our own life/story'
Great posts!

Great posts and pure motivation in here!

X2 and well said NACH. Can't wait for you to get those toofs out and get back full throttle. The stars will align soon and we'll all be at Mach 5.

No doubt buddy! I feel great otherwise so I'll have to be easy for a wk or so but just getting th blood back in b4 I start cranking it up it'll be nice to hit the higher end end rep range for another wk and push it accordingly to how my body is responding then it's back at it brotha! Have plan and hoping it goes smoothly!

How was the back w/o Igi?

Fantastic. Left the cvnt right on the gym floor and stepped on it on the way out as I said fvck cardio. Haha.

Filled up the lats with blood on the hammer strength pull down.

Loaded a couple plates on the straight bar for bent over V rows. Loaded 2 more and 4 full slow reps. Unloaded one plate and went for 6 more. My knees and legs were literally shaking like crazy. Unloaded one more and 3 more reps with 3 second holds at the top of the rep.

Grabbed the 45 dbs and did 12 bent over hip pivot row movements and when I put them down, the pump in my lower back was insane. Had to sit for a couple minutes. Grabbed the 70s and did 6, 45s again and 6 more. The lower back pump was almost unbearable. Sat on the bench for a few minutes, told the cvnt to gtfo and hobbled out of there.

This is what I like to hear :-)

Again, thank you for that movement. This will be a staple in my back routine for the foreseeable future.

[jmalls]

This thread has been my motivation since I joined this site and has molded my workout routine! Just wanted to say thank you too all of you who build each other up and push one another to go further. keep it up guys! I am starting my first cycle in less then 2 weeks and will look forward to the push you all give!

I think it's worked that way for all of us. I used to volume train and these guys switched me to hit and I never looked back. My gains have been absolutely absurd since making the change and I'm always sore

Well I'm impressed dude. Stick around and post up more of your sessions. You'll be welcome here. Will be interested to hear about you cycle progress as well.

[jmalls]

That is what i am so stoked about! I know I have an ok foundation for starting aas so i want to see what it does for me and one thing I had a vasectomy done 3 years ago and wondering if it will effect cycling and could not find anything so I guess I'll be a guinea pig in that sense and I'm glad to give that back to this community.

You look great brother. The hard work is really paying off. Congrats on your accomplishment

The vasectomy should not have any adverse effect on cycle results as far as I know. I know a few who have had it and have continued to progress afterward.
