ebola?

Another hour bike ride up and down hills.
It's sooo much nicer now that I've fixed my rear deraileur and am not stuck in the high gear in back.

Iam in my 6th week off
High Intensity Workout (HITS)
Principle off HITS is too trained till maximum exhaustion with high intensity and little rest in between sets (1 minute max) concentrating on form (has to be nice slow and perfect form) rather than weight carried (although aim for 60-80% of your max)....also states that muscle growth is when you are away from the gym and resting, hence you rest for a couple off days after a very hard workout...advantages of HITS is you do your workout quicker and go to the gym less but yet still get big gains. There are two schools off thought 1 is HITS other is high volume...I find with HITS the number off excercises you do give you a great workout volume wise.
Yesterday i did the following in perfect form with less than a minute rest in between in the following order
30 leg curls 27kg
35 leg extensions 32kg
30 leg presses 110kg (not your usual leg press machine so although 110kg is more like 60kg)
30 bent over row 20kg (this excercise is awesome - great for that V shape wings and shoulders)
20 standing dumbbell flyes 10kg (good for shoulders)
20 laying down flyes 15kg
20 benchpresses 80kg (bench press machine - more like 40kg...at this stage if you been doing each excercise till exhaustion with perfect form 40kg will feel like a ton off bricks and your chest feels like literally exploding doing this straight after the flyes)
20 calves raises 120kg
30 bicep curls 20kg
20 forearm curls 15kg
20 shoulder shrug 27kg (good for the Y at your back)
20 tricep overhead tricep extension 15kg
30 trunk raises (similar to a crunch)
In all there are 12 excercises which you do for 4 weeks about 3 times a week...with good rest in between.....then on the 4 weeks you change out about 3 off the excercises......next week i will be incorporating squats and deadlifts and reverse trunk raises......
I have noticed abit off muscle growth and overall muscle tone......not to mention the endorphin rush every nite !!!!!

Yesterday I was able to curl 20 lbs seated and standing (3 sets of 10) without any assistance. I started 9 weeks ago at 8lbs.
last night
I resistance train 1-2 times per week. To expedite my routine, when possible, i do two machines at the same time, using both in turn until i have at least three set on both. Usually i use "opposite machines" if you can gather from the paired excercised below.
peck deck 3 x 10 x 60kgs
upright situp machine 1 x 20 + 2 x 15 x 45kgs
lats machine 3 x 10 x 70kgs
shoulder press machine 3 x 10 x 35kgs
upright bench press machine 3 x 10 x 60kgs
upper back machine 3 x 10 x 55kgs
upright tricep machine 3 x 15 x 55kgs
standing barbell arm curl 3 x 10 x 35kgs
i feel great :D

I've just started working out, after not excercising for several years.
This morning I did 3 x 10 push-ups and also 60 sit-ups.
Just got back from my jog/ run.... I ran 2 x 800m and 4 x 400m.
Exhausted. So unfit
. But that will change %).

Woooow! Im Hard into mauy thai training daily now, my regime is 200 pushups, 50 handstand pushups, 500 butterfly position shin flaps, daily 10 minuites intense jab routine, + another 10minuites for elbow strikes, + another ten for shin kicks, + another ten for upper cuts + another 10 for elbow-strike-hooks and another ten for combos, each round has a five minuite stretch out inbetween.
500 situps with a double ab punch on the down, 200 crunches feet up, 20 minuites of muay thai stretching (repeted throughout the day, its an excellent stretching routine for flexability! i'll post it if anyones intrested, limbers you up in no time flat!)...
After that 2 hour set im pretty much beat, this is also coupled with near constant running when not at home (I'll dead run to the mall, work, dead run home), Im so glad I quit smoking :D
Im trying to limber up my upper and lower body more so then I ever had to in normal boxing, so reccomend me stretches, or websites I can find one, I'm a poor student without a teacher :D

^Wow, I was pretty drunk then,
P.S. Charlie brown, I tried HITs and did it for about 2 months, after a while.....you just cant push that program much further for growth
Anyhow, I'm in the midst of Muay Thai, or should I say, Muay Koshasan (Elephant boxing) training, this is my training routine now done once or twice a day....10 minuites Stretching all over,20 minuites jump rope,15 mins foot work,10 minuites upper body workout on bag, 10 minuites lower on bag (Note; this is on a 20kg bag attached with bungee coards so it "springs" back after each hit), 20-30min mixed upper body and combo's and then I cool off with 50/50's of pushups and sit ups. (Usually 150-200 of each before getting up) aswell as some lat pulldowns and bar pullups.
[I finally invested in a cheap home gym, but I only have about 130lbs of weights, grrr]
^Not counting bench press (Standard bar, Im upto 38kgx20 reps), leg curls (29kgx30-40), skull crushers (42lbs, forget the kg's) ect.... I just lose count of those during the training, I usually just do them till im exhausted, wait a few moments, do em again.
I'm loving Muay Koshasan, Its the art of defeating your opponent with only a one or two bone shattering strikes, mixing it with muay thai, the lighter version of it which focuses on many, medium strength hits, while throwing in the bone shattering moves, its a deadly combo. I was sparring at my old boxing ring (im currently No.2 in the round robin for super middleweight) but using muay thai moves against my buddy who uses Wing Chun mixed with Jeet Kune Do....
man, That was a fucking BLOODY mess at the end of it, no pads, rope tied around hands (FUCKING HURTS after a while). There really wasnt a winner [we wernt going for points, no head shots, no raised butterflys], We kept going at each other until I broke a few of his ribs when I landed a Flying version of "The Emperor enters the palace"counter from the Maa Yang position [Think Crane, but with a boxing upper body form]
Everyone, I encourage you all to keep working out, Its fun, its free, and you look better for it. But Dont bother with low impact, keep pushing yourself, When you feel the burn keep pushing, your not getting many effects if you dont feel it.
