 Today I am going to simply let the spike chart speak for itself. The chart you are seeing is an accumulation of my results for the past 6 weeks using High Intensity Training exclusively.

Wow! Every single workout is more intense than the last. I put the pin for the thigh extensions to 210 lbs. and sat down. I got to 8 repetitions and wanted to cry from the burn, but pushed on and got 4 more very solid repetitions out. I upped the weight on my calf raises to 710 lbs. and managed to get 19 repetitions out. I could not stand up after the calf raises. I had to sit and rest for 60 seconds. The Quad Blaster took me for a trip into the boxing ring and I think I won, but not without alot of pain in the process. My bench press continues to get better. My overhead press was so intense that I almost dropped the barbell on the ground, but just managed to rack it at the end. Finally, the deadlifts were breathtaking. 285 lbs. done for 9 repetitions will take the oxygen out of you. It was extremely intense. As I write this I am already feeling the effects of the workout. It is the first time that I've wondered if I will be recovered in time for my Thursday workout. FYI, today's picture was taken as soon as I got home from the gym. Note the nice giant sweat spot on my shirt? That's because I kicked my butt during the workout and sweat gallons! If you look carefully you can see the lifting chalk on my fingers from my deadlift set. |

 Progress is what we all seek, but few of us have managed to secure. |
