The HIT Thread

Low intensity cardio won't hinder a thing, and in fact will only help.

I was hoping to hear just that!

Thank you, sir.

Thanks for this post.

Question, my gym doesn't have any hammer strength machines so what would you do in my case?

Hey guys, what do you think about this HIT split:

Back/Biceps/Traps
OFF
OFF – low intensity cardio
Chest/Triceps/Shoulders
OFF
Legs/Calves/Abs
OFF
OFF – low intensity cardio
OFF

I started off with doing all three workout days in a row with taking 5 to 6 days before doing them again, but even though my muscles felt ready to workout by the 5th day off, I felt like I got hit by a train. Just an overall fatique.

Use what machines you can.

Grab someone at your gym to spot you when you need it.

Three days straight of HIT is a lot for sure!

How about this:

Back/Biceps/Traps
OFF – low intensity cardio
Chest/Triceps/Shoulders
OFF
Legs/Calves/Abs
OFF

Hey D7M,

What do you think about Carbohydrate cycling while HIT training? Say, drop carbs down by 100g or so for non workout days?

Thanks.
