hey i work i've been working out for about 8 months, first
time ever in my life, im 17 5' 10'' and 155lbs.
bench- max 135
squat- max 185
leg press- max 345
i just started but yeah, i want to know if anyone has tried something called
High Intensity Training (HIT)- if anyone does can you tell me how effective it is
in short its basically doing 1 set of 10 with a high amount of weight, failing on the 10th rep

I do HiiT cardio, but not for lifting. Studies have shown that going to near-failure rather than failure is actually better for your body, so there's really no reason to go to failure, other than if you get a weird pump from it...RAVENMkXV wrote:

Lol, nope I'm not that stupid. I usually do press ups to improve arm tone n thatm (bout 4 sets of 30) and some tricep dips (4 sets of 25). Go to the gym to do larger weights to build muscle massBlackKoala wrote:
i went to quote the other post, didnt see you posted again. but yeah, endurance is an entirely different thing than toning. i thought you were one of the weird fucks that thought lifting the cute pink dumbbells for 100 reps was beneficial...lolbennisboy wrote:
Lol, well it may not be called "toned" but it boils down to the same thing, it improves mucle endurance, so I think you proved yourself wrong. Many repititions will remove fat but also improve cardiovascular endurance. I should know, I used to train multiple times each week for 400m running

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
My bench max used to be 315lbsx3 @ 185 5'10. I screwed my shoulder up doing military presses. I have no idea now. I don't lift heavy any more .

I got a bench in me back garden. Fucked if I'm lifting it.
Seated military presses are really bad for your shoulders. I messed mine up that way. I've switched to standing dumbell presses and medicine ball throws.Kmarion wrote:
