So that programs good for gaining strength but not size/weight?Originally Posted by wsdesigner14
I've been following this 4 week program (this is the last week), http://www.muscleandfitne...uide/training/269?page=1 and feel great.
My bench max 3 weeks ago was 155, today I was able to put up 175 three times and 185 twice, and could probably put up 195 once. The program is great since it does not repeat many exercises and flows nicely from week to week. Starting next week I am beginning a more personalized program as I am attempting to gain weight (and the high reps, lower weight isn't going to accomplish that). Thanks to whoever posted that link about 2 months ago.
Any physique changes at all?

I'm about to try some new whey protein.
Can you mix ON Gold Standard Whey Protein with water?
Does the Double-Chocolate taste good?

HIIT routine
pretty much just sprinting the length of a field, then jogging back, then sprinting etc.. do it around 6-7x @ 100% or the hardest I can go - usually decreases as you near the 6th or 7th rep.
I try do it 2x a week.

It takes about 48 hours to recover from HIIT so 3 times a week would be the max you should do.

Doeboi what do you do? Incline, decline, flat? Close grip, wide grip? Maybe you just need to add a couple of pounds to your bench

Same here. There's no snow or anything, but the cold weather is just so discouraging.

Ok so assuming my diet is on point, will HIIT help me burn more fat doing it 3 times a week then doing regular 30-40 minute cardio sessions 4-5 days a week?

i suggest you cut out the regular cardio and just stick with hiit. at least with hiit you have minimal muscle loss. the more muscle mass you have the easier it is to burn fat.

Not more fat just more efficient at burning fat but I read that you should treat HIIT as its own seperate day I don't have enough days in the week to fit 3x sessions...

Ahhh, I see. Right now my physique looks more like you during the "skinny-fat" stage, and I'll I've been doing is lifting with no cardio. Guess it's time to change it if it'll help me get cut like that! I'm guessing you leave 1 day of non-lifting in between your days of lifting?

I started a couple weeks ago at around 250 (
) and my buddy has me in the gym 5-6 times a week. We do cardio 3 days and a full body workout 2-3 times a week. The full body doesn't seem like it's doing much at the time, but I've been sore every morning after doing it.
I'm down to 240 already and hope to get to 220 pretty soon. Ideally I'll be right around the 200 mark. I tore my ACL last January and just quit all physical activity because I couldn't afford to miss class/work for surgery. It feels really good and I've been doing light leg lifting and lots of biking.
Is this a good spot to be in right now or should I be doing more?

I finally made a decision and just went with getting my own barbell. I'm gonna go get one tomorrow and hopefully start going heavy. That plus bar-barian requirements keep me busy.
Here's my progress with the Bar-Barians reqs(I try not to burn out because then I wouldn't be able to finish up the rest of the reps):
Dips: 15, 15, 10
Pull ups: 6, 6, 8 (First 12 were wide grip, and last 8 were regular grip)
Push ups: 15, 15, 8, 7, 5
Muscle up: only 1
It's worth a try for some of you more seasoned guys, just to see how good you can really do with endurance. The actual reqs are:
40 dips
20 pull ups
50 push ups
5 muscle ups
It's supposed to be done in under 6 minutes. Give it a shot!
