HEAVY DUTY HIT AND POWER EATING EXPERIMENT

As some of you might be aware i had a bad accident on my motorbike last year which seen me in hospital and i ended up losing mass and gaining fat, i got back in the gym for 2 months, gained muscle mass and strength then i lost all motivation, i dont know why but i really wish i hadnt, that was about 3 months ago, again ive lost most of what i gained in those short 2 months and gained the fat i lost back, not this time, not this year

I'll post a Most muscular shot, a Front double Bicep,and a standing relaxed front/back (Leg shots included)
At the end of each month i'll take another picture in all these poses to check gains rather than relying on the scale- which can be misleading

Because i dont know where my strength lies at the minute (will have lost alot of strength since last been at the gym) my stats will be uploaded after ive finished one whole cycle of training and then be posting gains in strength and progression in reps i.e if i cant move heavier weight i must be doing more reps

Warning strong hairy


Front Double Bicep

Most muscular

Standing Relaxed Front

Standing Relaxed Back


First Workout Tomorrow
Let the experiment begin guys.

Personally always thought Mentzer-style HIT went overboard with the Low volume/long recovery time, but i will be interested to see how this experiment works out. GL man

[conisag]

Thanks man, well im open to tinkering the recovery if i find that when i raise my time to recovery rate of training that i regress i may up training frequency again,Right now im just embarrassed, altho i blame it all on my accident its my giving up and losing motivation after that, its an insult to me and my body man.

[joeyp978]

gl brah

[rdrb]

Did you sustain any injuries from the accident? Just curious, if you check my sig you can see I was also in an accident. I'm dying to get back in the gym, though.

[conisag]

Yeah Broke my leg, damaged tendons, soft tissue and my ankle, unable to walk i gained fat and lost mass, ive broken 3 bones before and its not a big deal its the tendons and soft tissue that left me needing physiotherapy and to get flexability again, the ankle hardened up and wasnt very "lubricated"

subscribe please and check back a few times a week it would do wonders for my motivation to know people are watching

[PumpinPaddy]

ill be following this

i was always interested by this style of training, but volume is too low for my liking, but itll be good to see how you do

Dang, that sucks man. I dislocated my knee in my accident and damaged 3 ligaments -- ACL, MCL, and PCL. :/ Am currently doing therapy and already had one surgery done. And yes, ligament/tendon damage is way worse than a broken bone.

I'll follow your log.

[BandApart]

subbed, definitely interested to see how such low volume works out.

do u do a lot of warm up sets and just 1 working set, or just one actual set?

[Jaxxed_Fibraz_]

in and subbed

[Dunkelheit23]

In. Mentzer was totally out of his mind, but his ideas were so insightful, definitely want to see how this works

[NaturalJJS]

I'm on the same program

Brah remember before you go into the gym to put yourself in a f*cking intesnse state or mind, the key to doing HIT properly is being able to push your muscles to the absolute extremes.

just imagine me in a bikini.

The motivation will come swiftly

Back from training one, i physched myself up like my viking ancestors would have and went "beserk" Hit the weights hard and heavy i feel sick, weak, and i seem to have triggered a bad stomach...aka the ****s

Back Pump

Sorry i look so fat, i know im out of shape and carrying a gut but im not that fat i have wide thick hips like a bitch


Sorry about the size gusy cant seem to scale them down

[Turbomunkey]

i saw your nipples, it was magic

Usually takes me 20 minutes or so to complete my workouts. Usually warmup first with a couple low rep sets with a multi-joint exercise. Rest 3-4 days depending on soreness/fatigue. Do some cardio on off days -- about 15-25 minutes depending on previous day's diet. After progression yields, I will be starting the consolidation routine.

[Jaxxed_Fibraz_]

Nice one brah, keep strong and get this **** done

[conisag]

quite sore today...movement hurts...so the idea now is to rest and recover over 4-7 days depeding on how i feel, at this point i should also point out im not starting the power eating diet until next month because of funds....or lack of my job dicked me out of all my overtime and took 400 pounds off my paycheck as some kind of a "mistake"...im paid monthly so will have to wait until the 25th to sort it out.

anyway feeling.....hurt......diets basically excess calories...or eating lots tryna keep it clean

[jordan_lake]

Subbed, intresting thread... oh hai brah. same routine.

[conisag]

Guys, after speaking to some people who have done HIT and or are on HIT ive come to the point where ive decided that im going to fiddle and experiment with the recovery because there have been several people who have said they made great gains but stalled and then even regressed due to the recovery being too long i'll try and keep the intensity the same without dropping back much and stick to the 4-7 day recovery depending on how i feel, somehow 14 days is just way to long before hitting the next muscle groups thats where mike may have gone wrong...too much recovery time...way too much 4-7 days i'll stick with that

[conisag]

Okay so ive been ill, didnt eat for 48 hours...threw up everytime i consumed water within 10-15 minutes, muscles look smaller, but feeling better and training legs and abs tomorrow, let you know how it goes!

[conisag]

Hit legs and abs today...owe...couldnt go to complete failure on leg press tho? added significantly more weight twice and then again that time i couldnt lift it at all with strict form...so i took the extra 40 kg off and left all the other plates on went for 20 reps...it hurt bad...it was always gonna, but it felt like i always had that little bit more in me...no pics but my legs were swole after..big..jelly like super inflated muscles lol, abs felt good couldnt hit failure on them either tho again it felt like somthing was stopping me like i was cardiovasularly exhuasted altho i wasnt huffing and puffing i felt like i wasany idea's guys?

Dunno what that could be, also do you have a spotter?

After you've done full working set you could do a dropset to failure just to complete tear those fibraz.

[conisag]

I have a spotter but i didnt yesterday brah, today my calves ar killing me to walk...but my abdominals and my quads feel fine, no ache or pain which suggests a little to me they wernt worked that hard, anyway they look bigger already so w/e.

its just from being sick brah, ur body still hasn't full recovered. no worries.

[conisag]

Probably, calves are still hurting alot, walking is difficult, im limping a little actually i only noticed today, im hoping the update pics show progress, i feel like im bigger but im wondering if the difference will be as noticable on picture as in the mirror

[conisag]
