**Marcus's HIT Dungeon**

[NACH3]

Thanks for the reposts Marcus! It never gets old and we need to hear this everyday we train! You know this sh!t fires me the Fvk up! I'm learning from the best here and it's been such an enjoyable ride(despite the pain most of us endure on a daily basis from injuries etc - this is prior to training & not the pain we all welcome and love ) this imho, May be the steeping stone in getting to that MINDSET WE NEED)

Cheers

Then when that 18+" piece came out - it was covered in pus(nastiness)... Doc said I very well could've gone septic! Said he was actually surprised after being open 2+ yrs that I wasn't! I'm so glad that sh!t made me stronger - mentally and now physically!

That's pain only experienced in the dungeon

[DGenRit]

Of course you can join the HIT crew, one bit of advise though read the first say 50 pages of the thread ( probably more) then you will understand what we are all about

Thanks. I read the first 4-5 but will make it a point to read the rest today and tomorrow.

Of course it is Big Man!

oh, & by the way... Since working with a partner & spotters, those forced reps into negatives was just the ticket. I needed(& not myself on unilateral ex's).... It surely makes all the difference!! Surely my favorite protocol

[DGenRit]

This is good shit Marcus. Thanks man. Going to read this a few more times today. Ill try to get all questions on a single reply. You're the man!

1 working set is that, 1 working set only. Once you have gone to failure and beyond and recruited every muscle fibers possible and really gone to positive failure and beyond the job is done, every other set is pointless and can be extremely harmful to growth. The main thing to take out of this is the word FAILURE because true failure is something you have to train your body but most importantly your mind to get to and overcome.

Got it. But in a previous post you said you did "1 working set with 3 drops". That's what I'm not understanding. Are you doing 3 drops after you hit positive failure on your working set? Or are you doing 3 drop sets after you recover from your working set?

the three drop are included in the working set. No rest between them and yes they would be after the positive fail

Also Using enough weight that after your drops your still at or below 12reps

Drinking my shake and then I'm headed to the shop.

[GirlyGymRat]

You want to try the sumo, goblin squats and stiff leg kettlebell session we do, I man of my size shouldn't be doing this at all lol. I go super slow towards the end

I will have to find it!!!! . I don't think my gym carries kettle bells :/.

[almostgone]

Still a tad off on judging my working weights, but I'll be back in the groove soon.

Broomstick stretches and RC exercises

Incline flyes- 2 w/u, Work-4,drop,2+,drop,4+ reps
Incline press-2 w/u, Work-3+,drop,4+,drop, 3+ reps. Long 7 count hold into a real.slow neg.on last partial; Really drained my energy doing this.
Flat flyes- 2w/u, Work- 1+, drop,2+,drop,2+,drop,4+.
Flat press-1 w/u, Work1-1+,drop,3+,drop,4+. Rested for 1 minute. Work2-4+ reps w/ a slow 10 count neg. on last partial.

Negatives really zapped me, so no forearm.work tonight.
36 minutes not including stretches and RC exercises. Feeling pretty sluggish. Will be curious to see what my hematocrit value is.

It doesn't stop at the first 50 pages, to be honest the thread is full of information the first few hundred, its only the last few hundred were we started to post session the other pages were everyo0ne was asking questions and wanted to know something so the thread is full of info and it is worth answering. So take your time mate and enjoy. I must warn you I do have a different sense of humour than that Americans but every HIT guy now understands me lol.

keep on and let us know some of your sessions so we can pick then apart and help you to be a pure HItter

by the way you look well

1 working set to failure then I introduce beyond failure methods like drops, its all done in one working set no rest. That's the whole idea of one working set. That's why many cant and wont do it first thing is learning to go to failure this takes time, you may think your going to failure but your not. True positive failure is extremely hard and for me personally its all in the head, once you hit failure your done but when your advanced enough you can introduce beyond failure rest pause, drops, supersets, forced and negs.

Please read what ive posted above

here you go didn't see it until now @ bio

You see my students know more than me now lol may the force be with you

[marcus300]

I will have to find it!!!! . I don't think my gym carries kettle bells :/.

I don't do them at the gym, I would look a right cvnt, I do them at home with the Mrs. Music channel on and 20mins of cardio with a kettlebell hurts me and I am tooooo heavy but got to do it

LOL, I am a sight to behold myself when doing any type of cardio. I get as red as an apple and as sweaty as a priest in a strip club.

[Mr.BB]

You guys making me feel guilty with all this talk about cardio

[marcus300]

You guys making me feel guilty with all this talk about cardio

Something what I am going to have to do, I've not been doing it for ages and we all don't have Kel's genetics

[GirlyGymRat]

^^^ this is a great idea. I could do upper body at home and one kettle bell should work for upper body!


Lol

[NACH3]

Lol

Sorry GGR, I see all the DBs still on the rack lol and they're just for warm ups

Really though look into getting a couple 'Comp Style' KBs - much more forgiving then the cast iron ones(I just opened my head up on one of the cast iron ones myself

Very nice, 'Deliverance' <--- in the nicest way possible

[NACH3]

Lol

I only use one for sumo and goblet squats, its more the length of time than the weight for me, ive worked myself up to 20mins and its hard for a big fat cvnt like me but I am trying xx

[marcus300]

I did some one legged leg press yesterday and I really feel it, if your position your feet and body just right its a great movement without using seriously dangerous weight but still heavy and pushing yourself to failure

20min straight is damn nasty!

Not until 4/11. Should be getting a call with my lab values soon. If hematocrit is up too much, I will bite the bullet, get a script, and pay them.to throw away my blood. :/

Dang, GGR doing goblet squats and sumos with the 80s. You're a strong young lady.

[Bio-Active]

It's not fun but I make the most of it and just use it as an opportunity to listen to music

[marcus300]

finger thick fat thinks and spell check on my phone, sorry guys my thread are all over the place

I used to do those when I was stronger; will be doing them again one day. You can seriously work the upper leg and core somewhat.

Looks fine to me, boss.

Dang man... I hate that they can't use the blood... So many people out there that it could possibly help... Hope your crit and labs come out good and clean, AG.

[GirlyGymRat]

Lol. I am working my way up to 120#.

I did sumo squats Saturday...and still sore...

[marcus300]

I will be concentrating on them from now on for 3 months see if they make a difference to my size and also mu lower back pain. Seriously intense but with light weight due to only one leg pressing

[marcus300]

go girl? next time show yourself doing them with heels on, now that would be nice

[almostgone]

Thanks, Nach. If I wasn't so close to a Dr. appointment, I would just drain off a pint if the hematocrit comes back high. However, I occasionally bruise up nicely and I don't want her to see that.
One thing I didn't consider until about 5 minutes ago is the 5mg of Cialis I take daily. Just doing a quick skim of some of the Rx sites mention that lethargy is an occasional side effect. Fortunately, several places showed that many in the sample group acclimated to it.
So, it's a wait and see game right now.
