I've used the rower for HIIT in the gym and combined it with giant sets of medium-high reps (12-20). I prefer HIIT outdoors. I like to sprint, run, fast walk, crunches, chins, vertical pushups, crunches, leg raises. I do the vertical pushups by standing on my hands with my feet in the air...

Is this for HST beginners or training beginners?

OK, just waiting for you to delete those threads! Here's where the discussion left off:

SO, I still haven't figured out how to schedule my routine. I have two chest/arms/shoulders workouts and one back/legs workout that will be alternated. When I start out with 15's, I should have no problem recuperating. When I get to where I'm actually going to failure (2 weeks of negatives)...

Is Strategic Deconditioning Systemic, Local, or both Systemic and Local?

Symptoms of overtraining: moody, irritable, restless/can't sleep well feel heavy, esp in legs elevated resting pulse and elevated pulse upon waking The above symptoms will occur if I do 15 sets of negatives in 1`day. If I do 4 sets of negatives in 1 day every day, for three consecutive days I...

So. If I do the type of split you suggested: Monday - Incline Bench 2 sets, Dips 1 set Wednesday - Flys Friday - Same as Monday I'll have only two sets of flys in the entire two weeks. Shouldn't I be doing more than that? Or should I do <table border="0" align="center" width="95%"...

Yeh, I was hoping to get in 5 days a week. I do yoga 2x a week and I found that I get overtrained if I try to do yoga and weights on the same day.* I also like to do HIIT to keep cut up. I may have to do an 8 day week. When I get to the negs, I think I may have to take extra days off. Dips...

Every time I try to edit, the forum strips the newlines from my post making them difficult to read. How can I design a program around two workouts: How can I avoid boredom in training? SHould I switch exercises mid-cycle? I could switch from pec dec to flys or crossovers. I could switch from...

Right. We're not looking for total recovery. I'm aware of that. And you got it right with finding my HIT mentality. I apply that mentality to life with horrible results (usually results in me being pissed off at everyone). I digress. The discussion of recuperation arose from this statement...

An adult human is supposed to eat 2000 kCal/day, right? It seems highly unlikely that the rest period would be the same for two individuals. Some individuals will naturally recover better. Some factors involved are the individual's hormone level, stress level, age, training ability, and...

Fausto, you must have posted late at night and not really read my post.

I can't only ONE PERSON caught the real problem: Overtraining! It's got to be. As for all that red meat BS. Well, it's BS. You didn't lose that much weight all of a sudden because there has been no red meat in your diet. The thing that changed is obvious. OK, for those who think it's NOT...

I disagree. If you train when your body doesnt want it, you're doing damage. By &quot;doesn't want it,&quot; I mean symptoms of joint pain, too sleepy, diarrhea, can't raise body temp, overtrained Do you eat when you're not hungry or vice versa? listen to your body or you'll have health problems.

My goals: size and strength I have a lot of questions that are best answered by experience. I want to learn more before I go about trial and error. I have read the 3-day per week routine and I don't like it for a few reasons: 1) It requires too many sets to failure per workout 2) The training...

If I could save this in a text file, it would be really nice. I don't have a printer. Wouldn't be hard to do with a form submission to a server side program that could then return a text file.

nevermind. [del]
