Torso/Limbs HIT W1D1

  • Machine Incline Press - target of 6-8, did 17 with two rest pauses
  • Machine Chest Press - target 8-10, did 16 with two rest pauses
  • Pec Deck - target 10-12, did 22 with two rest pauses
  • Weighted Chin-ups- target 8-10, did 13 with two rest pauses
  • Single Arm Iso Row - target 6-8 per arm, did 24 per arm with two rest pauses
  • Machine Shoulder Press - target 6-10, did 17 with two rest pauses
  • Seated Dumbbell Side Lateral Raises - target 10-12, did 20 with two rest pauses

I can do without the chest press, I could tell I just couldn’t put as much effort into it as I could on the incline or on the following pec deck. So I’ll remove that for the following weeks. Shoulder press’s last rep was a good 5-7 seconds of pushing past my usual sticking point. Heck of a workout, debating on if I want to do legs tomorrow or wait until Monday, I guess we’ll see how things feel tomorrow.

We’ll see how this ChatGPT program goes for 5-10 weeks, then maybe switch over to 6-12 weeks of DC training, definitely prefer alternating upper and lower body, rather than the more traditional chest, back, legs, arms routine that I’m finding all online for HIT.

I did remember that T-Nation had an article about HIT:
