hey guys

I′m very new to HIT but not exactly new to weight training and bodybuilding

here′s a routine I have compilled and would like to try…i have no gym membership so it′s all excercises I can perform at home

Day 1 (Monday)

Military push ups – 2 sets

Dumbell press – 1 set

Side laterals – 1 set

Dips – 2 sets

Push ups – 1 set

Day 2 (Wednesday or Thursday)

Chins ups – 2 sets

Barbell rows – 1 set

Deadlifts – 2 sets

Barbell shrugs – 1 set

Dumbell shrugs – 1 set

It is a basic push/pull routine…i have been doing a similar routine for several months, only with 4 sets per excercise…so I am basically cutting down the sets and will be performing each rep as slowly as possible

I would appreciate any feedback 🙂

If your now getting results after cutting back on sets per exercise "stick with it" until you again hit a slow down in progress – then cut back some more on sets and maybe exercises as well – then go for it again.

I too workout at home. I bought a powertec leverage machine and a bunch of plates. Since I workout alone I don′t do forced reps or negatives but I′ll do rest pause and of course always go to failure. I workout Tuesday(back , bicep) , Friday(chest , shoulder , triceps) , Tuesday(legs) then 7 days rest and I′ll start up on Tuesday again.

osurfo, what does your routine look like?

what excercises and number of sets?

I train at home too! Keep track of your progress with this routine and see how it goes.

check the thread "B&G; HIT journal" in this same section if you want to see what I do.
