HIT me baby one more time

[kenpopaul]

Hi All,

I'm putting together my Winter Workout ready to start next week (just recovering from a cold - self induced from too many nights out in one week!!!).

I've just lost around 10lbs of fat doing a detox and high rep training program (7lbs lost in one week!) so my new aim now is to put on some Muscle Mass (hopefully not much fat with it).

So I'm going to be HITing it again.

I've been reading my old Mentzer books for some inspiration and also found loads of stuff on youtube by him, although obviously I'll be doing it weights free using DVR's and my TotalGym with High Tension too.

I'll only be doing 2-3 workouts a week but will be going super high tension (my brain is ready as last night I even had a dream about doing High Tension DVR squats & deadlifts haha).

So I'll keep everyone informed on how I get on.

Royce, I'll be talking to you a lot I think over the next few months - mainly for some motivation & workout ideas etc.

Anyone else working out HIT style at the moment??? I would love to hear from you all too.

So for now it's goodbye high rep pushups etc and hello HIT.

Have fun guy's

Hi Ken,

It’s been quite some time since the original HIT program was posted. HIT with Transformetric protocols has worked very well for a lot of people here at the forum and elsewhere.

I have emailed you material that I think will meet your needs.

Here’s are two posts from the past attesting to the value of high intensity training done with self resistance protocols:

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to tell everyone about some of the great improvements I have made as of late with Royce’s HIT program.

Let’s see where to start; okay first off I have completely toned up and gained muscle. I have gained a full inch on both of my biceps to bring me up to 16”. My thighs have the nice tear drop shape which is quite nice. My calves have always been the lagging part so much so that I hated going out in public in shorts because would literally make fun of me. Since I have been on Royce’s HIT program my calves have gained an inch of mass which is awesome. My waistline has toned up very nicely and my uniform fits so loose on me that I have to shorten my belt a lot.

This past Saturday I had an 8.5 mi race and did way better than expected, I knocked 6 minutes off my training time which is very astounding to me. The funny thing is I felt great like I could have run another couple of miles.

My wife is constantly commenting on my more shapely arms which makes me crack a smile every time. The list goes on and on, but the majority of the credit goes to Royce, John Peterson, and Greg Mangan and his VRT protocol. I had to modify Royce’s program a tad because I am required to work out with my squadron in the military but not too much I just added in a ton of running and some various calisthenics. I also threw in some powerflexes on Saturday to get some striations going. I love Transformetrics and its principles and I can’t wait to see what the rest of my life has in store for me as far as working out goes.

I hope all of yall have a great day and peace out.

V/R,
Brig

Hey Everyone,
Even though I have only practiced the routine posted by Royce for 4 weeks, I can safely say it is the most productive routine I've practiced. I have gained in strength and size faster than I was before. It is a very efficient routine in terms of the time required, so it leaves my schedule open for other things such as Qigong, Yoga, and cardiovascular exercises. Now that I am joining the hockey team in two weeks, I am confident that HIT will not overtax my recovery abilities despite the added demands. I urge everyone to give it a try if are strapped for time or even if they just want to spice things up. I find the intensity of the routine to be quite enjoyable, and always look forward to my workouts. Take care

Hi Royce,

Many thanks for the email - I've just read it and the 'new' program is awesome!! I can't wait to get started. I'm taking the time off before hand as suggested to gain my energy back (I actually haven't done any training for the past 4-5 days due to a cold but still need to get my strength back after feeling ill all week).

I'm going out today to but a training journal and stock up on my 'body building' foods etc ready for starting my training.

I'll keep you (and everybody else) updated on my progress.

All the best
