M4:D46 (D346) H.I.T. Rest Day

October 6, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

I've been harping on the benefits of H.I.T. for several weeks now.  Many of you have probably read it and just blown it off as another fad.  If that is you, take note–H.I.T. is here to stay for me.  No other system of weight
training has given me the kinds of results I've gotten from H.I.T.  Please note, I am not talking about the cardio technique known as H.I.I.T (High Intensity Interval Training), I am talking about the weight training technique known as H.I.T. (High Intensity Training). 

Today I will share with you why this system is here to stay for me.  I am completely amazed at what I am about to share.

In just 4 short weeks I have seen some pretty incredible jumps in my numbers.  I have purposely been keeping my numbers to myself, but since I am now a H.I.T. evangelist, I thought I'd put my money where my mouth is.

Four weeks ago I weighed 215 lbs. and was at 16.8% body fat.  That is 177.88 lbs. of LBM and 36.12 lbs. of fat.  I have been eating about 25% more calories per day for the past four weeks.  At this point I now weigh 223 lbs. and I am at 16.39% body fat.  This equates to 186.45 lbs. of LBM and 36.55 lbs. of fat.  I have gained a total of 8 lbs. on the scale but only 0.43 lbs. of that is fat–the rest is LBM!  Pay attention–I am eating 25% more than ever before and I am not gaining fat! 

My strength has increased as well.  Take a look at the chart I created below and you will see how much my numbers have improved. 

I honestly do not know how anyone could look at the above spike chart and not immediately ask about having a H.I.T. routine designed for them.  I have never seen strength gains like this in such a short period of time.  Remember, all of these weights are with timed repetitions of 3 seconds up and 3 seconds down.  That makes it even more incredible because it means that for each and every one of these exercises, if I lifted with the standard cadence, I'd be able to do even heavier weights.

Well, when are you going to start your H.I.T. program?
