Back to my normal HIT workout this week (next week will once again be ‘trainer’s choice’)… tough workout today, it hurt. My ears started ringing after the pull-down and didn’t stop until I was back in the office.
I feel like I am able to deplete my muscles much more effectively after a year of doing this…and I gave it my all in the pull-down, even though the TUL went down. I am almost at my 1 year anniversary, May 21st...and I think the amount of weight I am now pushing demonstrates the effectiveness of the HIT workout.
Interesting note…my right arm gives out a full rep before my left arm does – on both the chest press and the overhead press, so I am able to anticipate my last rep. To further deplete my muscles, I draw out the last negative, lowering the weights in 20 seconds instead of the traditional 10.
