I wanna play too.

 

Thanks. Its the HIT. Thanks for the.help thus far.

 

Another hour on the treadmill, what fun!!

 

HIT???
Anyone care to clarify?

 

High Intensity Training. It's like doing 2 minutes of good paced jog and 2 minutes balls to the wall for say 10 minutes.

 

Question. I've been doing a 5x5 bench program for about 4 weeks now and went from 135 5x5 to 160 5x5 in that time. I was going awesome for a while benching three days a week. I've been stuck on 160 for about ten days now with no progress at all. I'm lucky to even complete the third set unassisted. Think three days a week or just putting to much stress on the muscles to recover quick enough between days?

 

The general rule is to work on one set of muscles, one day a week. Time to switch it up, do some dumbell presses and pushups in between sets.

 

Between days or between sets?

 

Sets, do your chest workout once a week.

 

Gotcha, I usually do a bench workout with abs in between each set. Other lifts to supplement the bench after the bench set in completed
I.E. Barbell rows, skull crushers, etc. Then a 2 mile run with sets of 20 pushups at each 1/4 mile. Thing is I do that 2-3 times a week.

 

Went to my local supplement store today and found out FDA cut a whole bunch of products monday. Everything with DMAA is now blackmarket stuff. Among them one of my faves, noxipro.

 

So, I just started at the gym 3 weeks ago. Trying to build muscle as much as I can. 6'1", #160. I work 10 or WAY MORE hours a day 300feet in the air with constant work throughout the day. My metabolism is pretty high, and my work in pretty physical. I understand you need to eat more to build muscle but it is difficult since I do not have a place to cook food besides for supper, rest of the meals I am stuck working through. What can I start bringing for breakfast/lunch to help me out?


Right now I hit every muscle group numerous times in about 1 hour, no breaks in between lifting really, 5 days a week. Usually M-thur, friday off, saturday workout, sunday off.

Basically what I am getting at is what else can I do/ how to do the routine to build muscle. I read lots of shit but my exact question can't be answered since my situation is different.
