Dereck Prolific Registered: 10/04/04 Posts: 10411 Loc: Great White North	After a post and a PM back and forth from Matt, it got me looking at my old records and I restarted a work out that I had done years ago back in 2002 and again in 2004. It is a full body work out HIT style (High Intensity Training) and I am doing it twice a week at the present. I'm not going to get into the workout itself but I will give you an idea of what I'm doing ... remember it is just an idea. Deadlifts Bench Press Military Press Rear Shoulder Shrugs Close Grip Lat Pulldowns Alternate Bicep Curls Weighted Dips Calve Raises Weighted Ab Crunches Here is one they gave as a sample in the HIT workout: Squat/Leg Press or Deadlifts Overhead Press Regular Chin-up Bench Press Row or Rear Shrug Bicep Curls Tricep Extensions Lying L-Flye Calf Raise Ab Crunches I listed the one from the HIT workout as it had your Overhead Press and Bench you liked. This may give you some ideas. Good luck in your choice and your progress Tim. _________________________ "IF I COME ... I'M BRINGING THE PAIN WITH ME"

TimBlack Exalted Registered: 05/10/05 Posts: 1403 Loc: UK, Brighton	That looks really nice Dereck, I've been thinking about HIT as it is. For the regular chins, would you be talking about weighting them? 'coz unweighted chins are waaay to easy If I did this, which I may well do (the second one, with a couple of swaps/additions) would we be talking the usual 1 set at 8-12 reps? It looks like I'm going to be out of serious MA training for a bit, while I sort out my calf problem, so a more hypertrophy-based workout seems fine to me. God knows I'm not exactly a big guy at the moment! Anyways, I had a grrrreat cardio session this morning... funny how you miss working out so much, eh? _________________________ My Workout Log

'coz unweighted chins are waaay to easy You could weight them for sure if you find too easy but you may be surprised after doing say Deadlifts followed up Press Ups how tired you are and I think that they may have included these just to further fatigue you. Quote: If I did this, which I may well do (the second one, with a couple of swaps/additions) would we be talking the usual 1 set at 8-12 reps? For myself, and depending on the muscle, I vary what reps I use. HIT suggests the following: Beginner: 12-15 reps Intermediate: 8 - 12 reps Advanced: 6 - 8 reps Even my first time doing HIT I figured since I had already been lifting for years that that I would put myself in the Intermediate to Advance level. My workout was based between these numbers. Just do what feels good for you. Like anything if too easy or feel you are not getting worked hard enough then add/take off weight or add/take off reps. Also suggested is 1 to 3 minutes between exercises. Some I needed more and some I did only the minute. In fact there were times I went from one body part to another without any rest in between. This way I was totally fatigued ... keeping in mind that I hadn't over taxed those muscles I was using in the next exercise. Also suggested is that over time you can eliminate direct bicep/tricep exercise work. I never did as I thoroughly like working those muscles ... well not so much the biceps but love working the triceps. Just play that by ear.

TimBlack Exalted Registered: 05/10/05 Posts: 1403 Loc: UK, Brighton	Yeah, no problem, you just gave me a bit of a turn for a moment... I did a proper 'double take' Anyway, cheers for all the help. I can't do deadlifts at my gym, so it'll be squats... I'll work out what I'm doing tomorrow/tonight and post it up here for critique/flaming etc _________________________ My Workout Log
