My HIT/Cardio Training Program

I have been following Marcus300's HIT Training for my weight sessions for over two years now with great results. The general format for any exercise for me is as follows:

• Warm-up/feeler 12-20 reps (rest 1 min)
• Feeler 8-12 reps
• Working set 4-6 reps to failure, drop or pause 10 sec, 1-2 reps, drop or pause 10 sec, 1-2 reps (beyond failure training)
• If not sufficiently nuked, repeat this working set once more

I break my week up into 5-6 workouts as follows:

• Shoulders
• Back
• Chest
• Legs
• Arms
• If time permits and body not overworked, weak-point day repeats weakest body-part with new exercises and no beyond failure training, just straight sets.

My legs day is generally done with 2 reps more in the working set ranges.

My cardio is typically composed of any of the following 3-5 days a week:

• Jogging (moderate) 20-30 minutes post workout or on an off day
• Mountain Biking (Intense) 45-75 minutes post workout or on an off day
• Incline walking or recumbent biking (easy) 10 before and 10-15 minutes after workouts

My current stats are as follows:

• 35 years old
• 6 foot
• 225 pounds
• 14-15% body-fat
• Chest 46", Shoulders 54", Arms 16.75", Quads 25", Calf 17", Neck 17", Waist 35.5"
• Bench 325, Squat 415, Deadlift 455
• Experience: 20 years training in the gym; 5 very serious years. I've done all styles of volume, classical, HIT, Supers, 2 a days, etc.

Goals: I appreciate and aim for the look of the old physique/aesthetics-focused bodybuilders, like Frank Zane and Arnold. I don't want to blimp out all over the place like today's bodybuilding champions.

AAS: Currently starting a 20 week EQ/NPP Cycle that can be viewed in this thread: http://forums.steroid.com/members-cy...t-c-cycle.html

Diet: At my maintenance of 3200 calories with a 40/40/20 split. I have a cheat meal once a week to keep the metabolism inefficient.

And here are my more current pics, trimmed and untrimmed:

I look forward to any critiques, opinions, and feedback.

Yo buddy! Cool home gym!

I'm in the process of doing my homework on HIT training, so this post is intriguing.

How many exercises do you do per body part? Have you ever considered hitting each body part twice per week instead of only once? Just curious.


Also, how's the cycle going? I'm a huge fan of EQ - I'm running it along side my trt. How are you liking the npp?

Good luck bro!
