I find that me and my mates find different things work best for each of us, my routine is Right diet with plenty of Carbs (Pasta, Potatoes), daily Gold Whey Protein, 3 hours non stop in the gym
@kells445 Thanks for the comment. You can't spot reduce fat. As your overall body fat reduces, your arm and stomach will gradually become leaner and more defined as will the rest of your body.
if you can't stimulate growth in 1 or 2 sets of an exercise then go home. high volume is a farce. good to see some other trainers out there not following the "the more i train the bigger i get" moron metheods. keep up the good work.
Great Job man ! ,and thanks for having the balls to post your pix, more people should do that to show realistic results on REAL people , not genetic freaks. I think I have corresponded by e-mail with you a few times in the past if you went by "thebigfella" handle. I have gone from 247 down to 222 so far on a similar 1-2 X/ wk HIT routine and a Paleolithic diet. Goal is a ripped, single digit BF 187, I will post pics when transformation is complete.
Yes, that's me Mike. My 'thebiggfella' YT account was suspended do to copyright issues. You're right about your 'real people' comment. As I've said, I know I'm not a mass monster, I'm just an average guy who has applied a common sense approach to diet and training. Very few naturals, if any, even at my height, are going to weigh 250 at 7% bodyfat. Goals have to be realistic and mine are. That's why I'm over the moon at the progress I've made and continue to make.
came across your posts on mens health whilst I was researching TUL. I was introduced to TUL by Doug Mcguffs book 'body by science' (which is the best effort of explaining the cause effect relation of resistance training in my opinion). Ive read most of the relevant books.. Hit the mentzer way, wisdom of mentzer, max contraction / static contraction by john little, heavy duty 2 mind and body (another great) so Im pretty up to date with Hit training, (run out of words will post again)
I wanted to ask your opinion one one aspect that I have spent most of my time trying to conclude either by using self logic or by the trusty internet! but with no real concrete answers. How does one ascertain his ideal TUL for a specific range? that is it .I knw it depends on the composition of fast to slow twitch fibres.If so how can one translate that to an ideal TUL, or for that matter even knw there fibre composition.I hear 60 - 80 secs but thats too blurred, what determines your TUL? Cheer
In fact looking back to doug's book, the ideal TUL fatigues all the fibres in their recruited order before the slow twitch fibres (or fast twitch, cant remember of the top of my head what ones are the weakest!) have had time to recover, and I guess that in a nut shell is true muscular failure, but how can we know for each person or muscle how that process is translated into a specific TUL. Maybe Im giving this TUL too much thought lol.
Your target TUL is a very personal thing and for me, depends on the exercise and whether or not there is a two second hold in the contracted position. When you get your TUL dialled in, you'll be surprised how similar it is each time you do a specific exercise. You are literally fighting for every second. For example, today I was doing WO4: for deadlifts, TUL was three seconds longer than last time with more weight, same reps. Nautilus Nitro crunches was exactly the same TUL to the second....
.... with more weight but one less rep. Thigh extns weren't so good though I did increase the weight. I got the same reps (11) but TUL was down by 11 seconds, so on average, the reps this time were a seconds quicker. Pages 6 and 13 on my MH thread have some decent TUL information on them. I'd post the links but I can't do that here.
hey man, fantastic inspiring results, i'm all about hit, mike mentzer, arthur jones, el darden, dorian yates, and i've had some decent results myself, tryin to drop some bf for summer, can you post an ex of your typical diet, i only need to shed about 10-15 lbs i'm currently 176 at about 12-15% bf.

Congrats on reaching your goal there.
If I may ask, if it's not too much trouble, can you PM me an outline of your diet plan. Would really appreciate it.
I got the HIT workout down, but no so well on the diet part.
Thanks
