Hey guys,

I've been talking to a lot of posters through private chat and decided to post a link to one of the best Beginner Books out there.

Its super cheap on Amazon and will definitely get...

still in the game. sorry for delays in posting was busy and couldnt update my bodyblog. click my name to check it out! im on week #8 of this routine.

have now started to add in 2-3 sets each of...

whats TKD?

instead of going a week of super low carbs and carb up at end. will this be effective in losing fat while maintaining muslce and or growing muscle?

workout 3 days a week. on those days take carbs...

i been busting my ass at the gym for 2-3 years now and barely made progress. been gaining fat and little muscle. i figured i'd be up to 180 mass by now! but not.

not sure if it was from consumin...

figured i would reduce my carbs on non-workout days (4 a week) by cutting out bread and brown rice and replacing with a 24g protein shake.

is that a good idea to strip away some fat while working...

given those points. would the HIT routine be better modified to a 1-2secs up 2 pause 4 down scheme? then you're using power. still do one set and go to failure.

thanks for the history of your HIT routine progress. good to hear it in detail.

Couple questions:

you said that you gained muscle on the routine? and looked better. seemed like you were getting...

I know many are hating on this program. but i am going through with it. On my second week. I'm keeping a log with pictures so I can be a testament to the validity of this program.

I've barely made...

for real. who knows from studies read?

i just read a book that said only 5-10lbs of muscle is feasible in one year. underline muscle. not bodyweight including fat.

i just got High Intensity Training the Mike Mentzer Way in the mail. read through it today. seems pretty sound logically.

Do you know how it differs from HD1 and 2?

getting a good burn from this routine. on volume training i hardly got sore anymore. now my back and pecs are sore! good sign!

how was it on delts/bicep/triceps day?

where those exercises harder to do but felt like you weren't using your full potenial? I felt that way yesterday and not sure if it is beause those muscles...

sure can. I'm keeping a log here:

Just added pics! Starting physique.

As for me...I just started Mentzer's H.I.T. routine this week. Going to stick with it for 8-12 weeks and keeping a log on my progress on bodyblog.

I know a lot of people on here don't have pics...

Since there isn't a regular High Intensity Training (H.I.T.) or Mentzer Workout Thread going I thought I would start one. All you H.I.T. lovers out there join in to ask questions and provide answers...

can you tell me what your training looks like?

I started a HIT routine this week. Going to give it a go for at least 8 weeks to see what happens. Its controversial but makes perfect sense to me.

for real? i drink 3 glasses a day. 4 on workout days.
