As you guys all know from when I posted my stats I weigh about 165 and am about 5'7 . During the summer I level out at about 8 % bf during the winter I weigh about 175 at 10-12%. Recentely i switched to an HIT routine to try and put on some weight. Before that I was doing a pretty basic 3 sets 8 to 10 reps 2 exercises per bodypart type split. ive been doing HIT for about 4 months now and I have gotten tons stronger. I went frm squatting 315 for 8 to squatting 405 for 8
I went from benching 225 for 7 to benching 270 for 4
i went from DLing 315 for 5 to Dling 385 for 5
but I have put on almost no weight. I didnt really drop any bodyfat other than my normal summer cut at the beginning of the summer. Im back on my normal diet which is about 500 kcals over maintenence. Im off cycle right now but I am on creatine and Im getting 300-400g of protein per day. My split looks like
M Bench 1 warmup 3 sets of 5 1 set Rest pause always increase either weight or reps(at least try)
Squat 2 warmup 1 twenty rep set as heavy as I can
W DL 5 by 5 Ii cant rest pause this I tried but I almost hurt myself I just try to increase every week
Wide grip chins 4 sets of 5 1 set rest pause
F Shoulder press(dumbells) 1 warmup 3 sets of 5 1 set rest pause
squats sames as monday
repeat

Yes I do cheat sometimes I do try to be as spartan as possible but we all know that we are human. Anyway I cant cheat to much since I rest at 8% bf.
