**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[Dpyle]

Stepped on the scales this morning just to have a look see, and I'm hovering just a couple pounds shy of 190. Granted I'm probably pushing close to 20% bf at the moment it's a lot better than the 165 @ 20% that I joined the site with. Time to shed some fat and maintain this hard earned mass.

[clarky.]

Did delts and traps. Had a good warm up and did some rc ex wish i had not bothered i just irritated it. I've had bother from my right shoulder for a few years now anyway i did

Side lat raises standing one arm at a time

Bent over db flys

Shoulder press

Bb shrugs

It was a good work happy going to do bi's the mora looking forward to that.

[DCI]

I'm broken, cant lift my arms above my head epic week of training, legs saturday going to be immense

[almostgone]

Back is nicely sore today but in a good way. I believe the reason I crapped out and didn't hit deads Wednesday was my own fault. I ate earlier and a lesser amount than usual before lifting. Got in some cardio via burpees/squat thrusts yesterday morning...feeling good.

[kelkel]

Watching my body change in size makes all the pain worth it. Just a turn of a head while your walking down the street or in a shop, the sense people are looking at you thinking look at the size of him makes training nearly 30's worth it. Who's with me

So true. I was away on a tropical vacation last month and just walking around the many pools was entertaining. You'd see people elbowing their friends and pointing toward me. Sometimes you can't tell if it's admiration or disgust but I'll take either, knowing full well if it's the latter they are just weak minded cvnts. A few were nice enough to approach and ask questions and give some compliments, which is always nice to hear and motivates you even more.

Regarding "who's with you" Marcus? I've been training with you for those 30 years. Just a few thousand miles away....

Nice usage

[Dpyle]

Back session yesterday was great, and I got to watch a guy laying on the seated cable row bench doing straight bar curls. All in all it was a good day.

[kelkel]

Nice usage

I'm catching on, thank you!

[RaginCajun]

Kel, do you use DMSO for muscle knots?

LOL - I can picture that.

Finally got to do a little bit of light chest, tricep and delt work in today. Tentonitis / Bursitis in my shoulders had been killing me to the point I basically had to drop upper body stuff for a couple of weeks. I could certainly use the focus on my skinny legs, but not being able to do upper body was getting depressing. I warmed up extra and then kept it light and in the 12 rep range for 3 working sets. Even through in some abs for good measure.

[kelkel]

Kel, do you use DMSO for muscle knots?

I have not personally, only for joint pain. Definitely worth using though.

[RaginCajun]

Thanks, I will have to try it.

My muscles have knots all over the place, seems it is hereditary, as my dad gets these knots. I have been thinking maybe magnesium deficiency.

It is the main reason I cannot train like this thread trains, my body won't let me. I have been like this for a long time. My mind wants to train like an animal everyday, but my body will not let me!

[DrewZ]

Did Chest and Tri's yesterday, on cable push downs my neck started to tighten up - but still finished up strong.

Today my neck is no good, painful to turn.

All knotted up, feel like I might as well be wearing a neck brace with my range of movement.

Today is shoulders, not sure that I should do them in my condition. Maybe I'll see if my chiropractor can do some pressure points and get me some relief.

Any suggestions?

[DCI]

I should be arrested for assault on myself. My legs are still wobbley and its an hr since I trained I am goosed tbh.

Did leg press really heavy and controlled.

Lunges and finished on machines was intense.

[Dpyle]

Couple shots from today @ 5'5 188. Pretty much a fatbody right now but I've gained some quality mass in the process that wouldn't have come as easy without the motivation in this thread. Training alone and having no friends or family into this lifestyle makes it a grind to stay motivated some times. So I say thank you to all of the guys here.

A good chiropractor is worth his weight in gold, imho.

Got some nice mass on those wheels. They will cut down nice when you do your show.

Trust me. Those tiny asian masseuses have hands of steel and will definitely get those knots out

[Dpyle]

Thanks man. They've always been a strong point for me. Spent a long time never having a leg day or only working them every couple weeks. Then started training them every week but never beyond positive failure until the last six months or so. Since then I've had to go up a waist size in my jeans to accommodate my quads. Last weekend I put on some shorts from last summer and the waist was fine but my legs looked like I may as well have put on bike shorts. I was feeling pretty good that day.

[Dpyle]

And looking back at the photos I may not be quite 20% but I felt that was probably a pretty close guess.

X2...Hard work pays off.

^^^ What Kel said, Dpyle...Be proud of yourself, man. Your hard work is paying the dividends already!

That sounds great Kel, soak it all up

Chest day for me. Got called in to work around midnight so I plan to hit it this morning when I get home vs my original plan of lifting around 3:30 a.m.. Pre exhausting the chest worked great last time; really got a great burn....looking forward to it already. It feels good/rewarding to get into low gear and force/grind out the last few reps/partial reps.

Absolutely!!...pain is but the precursor to pleasure/growth.... right?? It's just plain out enjoyable.

[marcus300]

Hate to hear that, Haz. P!ssing out the @ss is no bueno. Look forward to seeing the ink!!

Did bi's yesterday AND holy fvck they are rather dead the day guys i kid you not. I had a good warm up did a couple of sets of 20-25 reps or so.
This was the one the big man wrote out the other day for me.

Seated db curls - palms facing up

incline db curls - same ^^

sorry no consentration curls but i did some neg here

ok this was fvcking sore the burn the pump the pure strain on the bi's it was pain. I never did the concentration curls as i could not i tried and just could not so i did neg this was a great work out so thank you marcus and i WILL get the concentration curls in at some point oh they are sore today

I know it was only two moves guys but i did some heavy weights and i gave it all i had.

[kelkel]

And that's what it's all about.

[hawk14dl]

I've adopted kels 3 day split. But I couldn't lift last night, so back and shoulders were today. I threw abs in at the end so I was close to 1 1/2 hrs.

Nearly puked numerous times. Ate an hour before lifting maybe I need to push that back a little.

Best back and shoulder session of my life. I can't shake my blender bottle, going to have to get the blender out.

I'm going on 6 months on trt. haven't gained any weight but I'm certain I've lost 3 or 4% body fat. I was easily over 20% but im sure I'm at least 18 maybe as low as 16. I can see muscle cuts, but no abs. However, considering I rarely ever train abs and never do cardio I think I'm doing great. It's hard to pinch enough fast around my navel to do my hcg injections. It's great!

[hawk14dl]

On another note, just took my gloves off and realized I ripped a callous open probably during dead lifts. I didn't think it would happen with gloves on. . Oh well part of the game I guess

Get that time down. Outstanding on how the work out felt! One of the many reasons I switched to back and shoulders together is that I was always irritating my shoulders when I trained them first. Doing back first has reduced those occurrences greatly for me.

Use an old razor on them. When your in the shower or just out stretch your fingers out and simply shave them down. Easy, fast and effective.

[kelkel]

I'm sure this has been posted here before but I watched it again today so.......

Absolutely incredible..

[hawk14dl]

Kel, I was done with the lifting about 1:10. The rest was abs. Thanks for the advice on the calluses

No worries. The callous shaving trick is great. Especially when I used to dead heavy. Tearing one can suck big time.
