HIT rocks!

Extended my rest days from 4 to 5 days,

and what happened is this, on workout 2:

Leg Extensions – from 150 pounds to 165, 12 reps

Leg Presses – from 300 to 420, 20 reps

Calves – from 240 to 300, 20 reps

Abs – maintained at 150, increased to 15 reps

Indeed, HIT rocks!

Great progress!

whats your full routine mate

Danobolic… yeah! I hope I apply the Mentzer principles correctly as the weights get heavier, and thus the frequency lessens.

tiptoe… the ideal routine, to wit:

Workout 1: Chest and Back

1. Peck Deck – 6-10 reps

2. (supersetting) Incline Press – 1-3

3. Straight Arm Pulldowns – 6-10

4. Palm-up Pulldowns – 6-10

5. Deadlifts – 6-10

Workout 2: Legs and Abs

1. Leg Extensions – 12-20

2. Leg Press – 12-20

3. Calves Raises – 12-20

4. Abs (with weights) – 15

Workout 3: Shoulders and Arms

1. Side laterals – 6-10

2. Rear Laterals – 6-10

3. Palm-up Pulldowns – 6-10
