[Ir0nman234]

Good job !!!

[DederDubs]

Dude, great Intensity and Form! I'm actually surprised, given the weight that you are doing on these exercises that you are not bigger, but the strength is there. If only more people were aware of Arthur Jones and Ellington Darden's work!

[BlahMcJones]

@DederDubs I, for one, am. Been doing it for almost a year now. It's some amazing stuff.

[supermanbp09]

Excellent job. Here is a man who knows his stuff and trains in an intelligent manner. If only gyms were populated with more people like you, sir. I work in a gym and, sadly, get to watch people utterly waste their time there every day. Keep up the great work :-)

[nordique59]

Good on you! Strict form and you have to guts to put your session on youtube, unlike the 'nay sayers'! Keep it up!

[TryhardGetit]

Man, this pulldowns are terrible. That looks like an ab exercise. You should arch your back to contract your lats, shouldn't you ?!

[ptarleton]

@TryhardGetit

Yes. You should arch your back when you finish a pulldown. The great Dorian Yates was very particular about this and he build his back up from a weak bodypart to his best bodypart.

But ultimately it's just more important to do something difficult instead of being really anal about form. Dorian's back development has a lot more to do with the fact that he did pullovers and rows with 400 pounds. Then again you won't be able to more weights like that unless you arch your back.

[djmikeaaronr]

@Under21convention07 Hey man. I went to your blog. But there is so much stuff. I can't find the name of the shoes. Could you provide a link? It would be much appreciated

[Under21convention07]

@djmikeaaronr Vibram five fingers- theres a link under my top posts on them (on the right of the blog)

[bowenblanket]

great form and focus

[Rhaegar1]

OMG LA FITN33SSSS

[89lovely89]

0 intensity!! what the hell?? That would've been the biggest waste of time ever in the gym!! and WTF is with your squats? are you purposely working your inner thighs... Watch pumping iron doucher!! push past the pain barrier..

[310stanger]

what the hell are you talking about with the squats? hes freakin burying it ass to grass. Im gonna guess you are one of those idiots that loads the bar up with 3 plates or more and then 1/4 reps it.

[pmango1000]

This isnt HIT...he did no isolation pre-exhaust exercise for each muscle group... on pull down he used his torso for momentum to get the weight down...on calf raise he didn't do static hold at top...simply running from exercise to exercise is not HIT, that's called circuit training

[Under21convention07]

There isnt a rulebook for HIT last time I checked. This workout was intense, anyone who has been through something similar would attest to that in a heartbeat...

[fight4themoney]

he doesnt have to do pre exhaust isolation... but he is right about your form, especially on the lat pull down...

[hartinP]

@Under21convention07 There is a rule book to HIT. Its based on the adaptation principle where growth is proportionate to stress induced. Only 1 working set is required to create this maximum stress. Any more than this is a waste of both time and energy which could be added into the 1 working set to failure

[pod2death]

@pmango1000 HIT doesnt have to have a pre-exhaust exercise to be HIT, but i must be logical and say that the form he was using wasn't great.

[iflyboats]

are you doing SS or HIT?

[Under21convention07]

I've looked at quite a range of different takes on HIT, and my routine reflects that.

If you are asking about my cadence however, no I do not use a 10/10 cadence.

I am a stickler on keeping my face relaxed, proper breathing, and keeping distractions to a minimum (mostly SS as far as I know).

[Under21convention07]

Hmm, I get this question a lot. The best way I can put it is that the best (and just about only) thing you can do with exercise is build muscle (make it grow). Trying to build "bulky" muscle or "toned" muscle is a complete fallacy with no scientific foundation.

In short, this type of training is for complete fitness. Its safe, efficient, and brutally effective (and brutally intense in itself).

thanks for the comment

[ptarleton]

@Under21convention07

Why is it important to keep your face relaxed?

[supermanbp09]

@ptarleton Not my video, but the reasoning behind this is that it is important in order to minimize extra energy expenditure, so that all energy and maximum effort may be devoted to the proper performance of the exercise.

[dathill]

What sort of a body are you aiming for with this type of training just out of interest?

Do you want to be a body builder or something more toned liked Marcus Schenkenberg or Brad Pitt in Fight Club?
