M4:D29 (D329) Building mass

What's on my mind today?
If you look carefully at the Day 29 photo above you will see that I am starting to build mass in my arms, shoulders and lats. I point this out not to brag, but to show you, the reader, that High Intensity Training (H.I.T.) really works and it works fast. As mentioned in yesterday's post, I have had only 5 workouts using the H.I.T. system, but the results are already obvious. I have made progress in my strength numbers and my growth. I haven't ever had noticeable lats in my life and this system is giving them to me.

I strongly suggest that if you want to build mass and burn fat, investigate this technique. Get some lifting time under your belt and then give H.I.T. a try. The workouts are short, but extremely intense. I actually use an electronic metronome to time my lifts.

This little gadget is awesome! I can even use it with headphones if I want (in case the gym is extremely loud). I follow the beat pattern that it gives off (it is currently set to a 3 second cadence) and that gives me the intensity I need in my lifting workouts.

The only tweak I've made to nutrition along the way is to really pay attention to the protein intake. That is the one macronutrient I am being extremely cognizant of. If I am supposed to take in 340 grams in a given day, I make sure I hit that mark. That seems to be working for my body as I am already seeing noticeable gains in such a short time.

If you are looking for a routine that will build mass, the H.I.T. program is it. I have seen numerous pictures (before and after) of people who have used this exact routine and the results are nothing short of amazing. The thing I am watching right now is how long the progress will continue. I am sending my workout log to Carlos DeJesus on Saturday. He will review it and make recommendations so that the progress will continue.

With that said, I would again like to thank the inventor of the Quad Blaster, Carlos DeJesus, for his mentorship and his assistance with my training regimen. He is extremely supportive, reading this blog daily and giving me private encouragement. Along with the support of my fellow Shredders, Carlos has kept me motivated through some difficult times in my life. He and I have spoken about bodybuilding as well as a relationship with God. He has given me a vision as to how those two things go together to help me build the mass I am looking for. This mission isn't called “Getting a little bit bigger” it is called “Getting REALLY Big” and Carlos has taken that title seriously and is helping me to get really big. Thank you, Carlos, my good friend.
