**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[almostgone]

Back down. Was a great session.

Wide grip pd. 3w 2f 1w NW dd

Seated close grip rows 2f again felt strong 1w nw dd

Low pulley hammers 2w 1d

Tbar hammer machine underhand grip 2 sets....felt this one out never done before. Worked in with a guy.

Old school tbar 2w dd (almost passed out here)

Standing lat pull downs 2 sets high reps

Try to get a back pic or lat pics up here soon

Easy, killer! . Nice lift, but don't push to the point of passing out, please!

Yes, I've heard of compartment syndrome. Particularly when I broke veins in my gastroc training for a power meet which landed me in the hospital for 3 days or so. Leg filled up with blood stopping all movement, docs worried about clots and all that lovely stuff. Wasn't fun.

Glad you're doing them first. Keep killing them and they'll grow.

Dang it, Kel. Didn't you have an issue from tight wraps once as well? Clotting issues can be worrisome sh!t, especially when it starts pooling up w/blood.
Had a nice mess myself in the past. At first I thought I had celluitis just based on the swelling, but then my l.arm started looking ashy and staying cold. Next day same thing happened to my right quad. A few weeks later I had coughed my pacer lead loose and passed out walking across the room, fell into a rocking chair, ruptured my l. shoulder bursa, and had it all crapped up. Then that's when staph got in my blood and I guess all of the clots were like a buffet for the staph.
I'm always marginally paranoid about clotting issues now
No bueno.

Bid and tris are pretty sore, but I believe I'll have a go at shoulders anyway. Mixing up a shake now.

[Proximal]

BB, Sfla, great pics guys. BB, does the deep tissue work help your compartment syndrome any?

AG, I think I have a crush on your therapist, you are a lucky man!

Biceps, some cardio & abs this afternoon for me.

Trying to cut and get my E2 under control. Giving blood tomorrow.

Monday is done and over.

[almostgone]

RC exercises and broomstick stretches

D'bell shoulder press- 2 w/u, Work1-8,drop,3+,drop,3. Rested 1 minute and grabbed the d'bells from my first drop and got 5 more reps w/ a 10 count neg. on last rep. Think I may bump up this weight slightly next time?
Seated side laterals- 2 w/u, Work-7,drop,3,drop,3+ w/ 5 count hold on last partial. May switch these off to cable laterals soon for a change of pace?
Face pulls- 1 w/u, Work-9+ - 4+ reps w/ a slow 8 count neg on partials.
B'bell shrugs- 1/w/u, Work1 (front)-7+ - 2+, drop,5+ reps. Work2(rear)- 5+ - 3+ reps.

Had to go to bed last night early but up and about now.

Feeling good and ready for the gym

[Mr.BB]

Morning

Cardio only for me today

[DocToxin8]

How in the hell do you guys upload pics in very large form. Example Doc uploaded some very nice hi def back pics. I cant do this from my phone id like to know how

I'm just going on the site through the Safari browser that's standard for iPhone, then used the pic uploader that start automatically. The pic itself was also taken by my iPhone. Wait, are you just kidding cause the pic wasn't especially hi def?
Anyway, might be some different software on android but as long as the pic is high def to begin with it should be the same I think.

[DocToxin8]

Good morning gentlemen and fair lady GGR!

Not the best start in my day, at 0530 I'd slept a total of two hours.
Now it's 10 and I've slept two more hours.
(I can start late today luckily)

Trained shoulders yesterday. Didn't really follow HIT principles,
but I've had a shoulder issue for moths now. Yesterday I could finally lift without pain and with as heavy weight as I wanted. (Did only 1 press excersize though, and that's what's been hurting)

Need to wake up some more,
Wish you all a nice morning and day to come!

4-5 years did have deep tissue massage on the legs, dont remember helping alot for that. Also was doing fascia separation massage which was a complete crap, pardon my french.
Remember I was doing long distance running, so I just needed less time on the legs.

Humm, you just reminded me I have bloodwork on thursday, might be a good idea to go donate today....

Right back at.you.
Quite a wealth of information, advice, and experience has been posted in here. I can't speak from experience because I don't come from a large family, but I'm guessing this is what is like to have a large family motivating and supporting you.
A large, badass, HIT family, that is.

Duffin is a mad scientist of powerlifting. He is ridiculously strong and extremely intelligent. If you read up on his childhood, it is amazing what he has accomplisehed in life and how far he has come from where he was as a young boy.

[almostgone]

Ok, my bedtime. Had an ENT appointment this morning, basically a waste of time. I knew my hearing/right ear was fvcked; didn't really need a rocket scientist to confirm what has already been diagnosed. Just trying to avoid any inner ear/Eustachian tube ssues this year.
Probably rest this evening unless I wake up early. If so, it will be cardio/squat form and calves. If I don't get them tonight, I address them Weds. evening.
Hitting arms one day and shoulders the next did some wonderful stimulation.

All right, everyone rock on with your day. Have a good one!

[Mr.BB]

@ blood center... almost refused, uffff

[BG]

When I was visiting the Dead Sea i actually sunk down to my neck, something I think will apply to many here, even more than me.

Lmfao I tried snorkeling in Aruba last year I nearly drown. I had to yell to the local in the boat and he threw me a life jacket. My wife laughed for 10 minutes. Scared the shit out of me.

Facking male nurse at blood center wanted to refuse cause of high BP. They only had this fucking wrist BP monitors that suck ass, that shit was measuring my bp at 150/120?!?!? Never in my life I had that, after 15 minutes it was 140/100 and he let it go.

[DocToxin8]

I want to thank you all for the support here.
And I hope I can contribute something here too after a while Marcus,
but for now I'm just counting myself lucky that i found this thread and received such a warm welcome. I really need a new approach to reach further, and I've already started changing up my training, especially the principles,
and I feel it helps a lot.

When I trained shoulder yesterday I could train with 60kgs (that's 60*2,2 in pounds I think) in standing shoulder press w free bar.
Point is that I've had good shoulder workouts up to this point with lower weight by implementing some twists on what I've seen here.

So thank you all for this thread!

I'm also sorry for pouring out my personal issues here and there,
I try not to but it seem to happen automatically at this point.

Couldn't train today as time ran out.
(And I've been exhausted, I can't really get rest at home)
But will do tomorrow.

Wish u all a nice evening people!
You're all an inspiration to me.

Dont worry about personal posts, its good for us to blow some steam about everyday shiet

About the training, the truth is that I manage to keep myself almost injury free due to HIT principles. When the years progress you will see what I mean, I think you're in your early 30's right? Not that I'm that old myself lol, turned 40 this year

And of course, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences!
