heavy weight less reps or lightweight more reps , or both

Earlier in the thread, I said to read your posts. I'm not trying to take any credit. You're one of the HIT pros here, I'm not trying to say otherwise.

I didn't mean it like that. Doesn't matter you don't get it.

You carry on I'll stay clear

Kel, I think you would appreciate the discussion I read the other day that attempted to investigate into Mike Mentzer's success with HIT and a very interesting point was discussed that can be summed up by saying that Mike's success with HIT may partially be due to the fact that he frequently implemented pullbacks that included more volume and higher reps, that still included failure. Some believed that these pullbacks were actually spurring his growth more-so than the HIT style of training he regularly implemented.

Obviously, this was opinion, but it was still interesting and quite honestly for me, was just another way of saying that he knew what he was doing and what worked for him, and he actually god-damn did it!

Very interesting. Thanks for this info I will be looking I not this

I think it may have been a similar resource to one posted earlier, maybe the same author? I'm not sure because I performed a scholarly search for similar articles and read a few

Re-post this in the injury section. Upright rows are very taxing on the small rotator cuff muscles especially if done incorrectly and with heavy loads. If you end the exercise with the wrists positioned below the elbows you will be prone to injury. I personally don't see the benefit of this particular exercise, as there are far superior choices for the shoulders (rear/front/lateral raises), but if you insist on doing the upright row better to use dumbells and terminate the exercise with wrist higher than the elbows. You should incorporate rotator cuff exercises into your program for overall better shoulder health. -Cheers

Thanks for the response. Even with dumbells..i just try to bring my elbow upwards to my side at a 90 degree angle. Ill just drop upright rows overall, youre right theyre a stupid exercise. I always warm up rotator cuffs before a workout regardless of what i do. Thanks again!

Read the first few pages of Ronnie Rowland's sticky above.

It lends the insight into this thought process exactly. He is an extremely helpful guy who knows his stuff inside and out!
