LOL - thx bud! - Of course once you were at under 5 percent bodyfat, its hard to get used being around 10 - I had an injury to my wrist for a while now and decided to let it rest during the holidays - no cardio..no training - just being lazy and got some fat around my midsection now that I am trying to get rid of - nothing serious...just need to be camera ready for 08 so i can get some more cover work done - trust me...the magazines are very strict on wether they think ur in shape or - I blew a shoot for REPS magazine and showed up too soft - that wont happen again next time.

I attached some shots from the REPS shoot with Terry Goodlad which is an outstanding photographer out here in Vegas - he did a shoot with me but the photos werent accepted thanks to my fuck up - lol ..i learned my lesson

MR
p.s still think some of the photos turned out great

Welcome to Getbig.
Great to have you here.

Looking forward to reading about your training program and other great advice & honest information.
Thanks very much for sharing.

wht do u have to say to people that doubt your natural status? And those who doubt musclemania's credibility as a "natural" bodybuilding organisation?

what sort of "natty" tests do they do, if any?

haider · « **Reply #29 on:** February 03, 2008, 03:35:05 PM »

Also, how many sets do you normally do for each bodypart exclusing warmups?

thanks.

markus, i always bust my wrist when i train HIT(which is once every 3 months or so)
it really sucks, wrist injurys really really suck , i can't even wipe my ass!
really slow recovery too ( wrist ligaments have little blood supply= slow recovery)

anyway, wish you a fast recovery bro

lol - i DID NOT hurt my wrist from HIT workouts - if I tell you what did it you might not believe me after all - LOL - I used to be a street dancer (actually a very good one) and decided to do some "tricks (windmills/very difficult break move) - on the dance floor at empire ballroom here in Vegas (afterhours..I was shitfaced -lol) - as I came down from the last spin, I tried to catch myself to slow down and bent my entire wrist backwards - ouch! - xrays showed no broken bones or anything..it just really hurts still when I aply pressure to it. So I have to train around it till it gets better.

MR
ps. I never hurt myself during a HIT workout - all my workouts are extremely controlled and slow - so no ballistic impact on the joint - the failure that is reached is 100 percent muscular failure without any momentum involved...I consider it very safe if performed properly.

What do I say to them? - Nothing to be honest...I am here to let some people that are interested know about my experience with HIT. I dont care wether people think that i am not natural..to be honest I rather take it as a compliment. I have competed in not only Musclemania Drug tested shows but also NPC. I have seen guys in Musclemania shows get banned because of drug use. So the system is not perfect you right. I do have my doubts wether some of the guys that are in my class at times are natural. But in the end...the real competiton really is not against the OTHERS..its against yourself and your ability to be the better version of yourself from the year before.

Thank you.
The girlfriend and I might plan a trip there in the near future.
I will certainly look you up.

I must say your debut on this board has thus far been impressive.
You’ve garnered more respect from the Getbig populace than most “celebrity posters” who come on here – especially at this early stage.

Invariably, you’ll encounter a troll or two that will bust your balls without merit, but this is Getbig and that is to be expected from time to time.
Just keep doing what you’re doing, and I believe you’ll earn the respect of many more here.

Thanks again.
Looking forward to learning.

Welcome Marcus, great to have you here to support the sport!

Could you give us an example of your current workout split? And as a HIT trainer, what are some of your best lifts (lbs) for reps?

Thanks!

Thats a good question. I have done some power moves but those werent performed HIT style to be honest. Meaning, not 4 seconds down and 4 seconds up which is how I usually train. But for the record here is my best lifts (recorded at around 227lbs)

Benchpress: 455x3 (plus did a contest at Maxmuscle where I did my bodyweight for 36 reps)

Deadlift: 550x4

Squat : 600x4 (also did 315 for 22 reps once after doing a set of leg extension and Presses with whole stack on nautilus machine- puked right after and did one more set of hamstrings - that happend when Mike trained me at Golds in Venice)

Remember...its about achieving the highest contraction possible and not how much weight u can hoist around in shitty form. So dont be as stupid as me back then and try to lift a weight that you cant...rather focus on performing 6-10 reps in slow fashion with complete control. I ws lucky that I never seriously got hurt back then.

I will post my latest routines and workouts on my site soon - that includes Videoclips of them as well so u all can see what HIT in action really looks like.

so wheres those workouts of yours that u said u were going to post?

Here is an example of a Chest routine that I currently been experiementing with...

1.Incline Fly dumbell/Incline Press (1 superset 6-10 reps to failure on each)
2.Benchpress on smith machine (1 set of 6-10 reps to failure)
3. Dips with wide grip (using my IRONGRIP.com vest for added resistance)

4 working sets total - I been getting stronger each workout so far - if my gains slow down I will insert an extra rest day - chest is being trained approx every 4 days so far - a lot more frequency as before but I am getting stronger at this rate -

Gonna take a few days off however train a few clients out in San Francisco this weekend -for anyone that lives in the bay area and wants me to train em while out there...feel free to drop me an email ok.

Marcus,
Thanks for posting the routine.
You mention using a vest for dips.

How would you compare using a vest vs. a dip belt for dips?
I’ve been thinking of investing in a vest maybe for chins and other things like cardio, etc.

I visited the irongrip.com web site, but could not find their vests.
I’ve seen others where you can adjust the weight with removable inserts. Is that how yours works?

Have fun in San Fran.

Thanks again.
Your time is appreciated.

Sorry..did I say IRONGRIP? - lol - I meant closegrip.com - not sure what I was thinking...

I use the vest in most of my workouts, paticularly dips - its by far better then the belt since the vest doesnt bounce around all over the place and fits snug to ur body, you can also balance the weight out better then the conventional belt. Its simple to add weights in the 2 front pockets provided as well as large plates in the back making very balanced.

Great also for chins - Have done some HIT CARDIO with it too - did some uphill intervall walking which really kicks your ass. I dont like running since I am too heavy for it so I do the highest incline on the treadmill and add a 25pound plate for 12-15mins after my workouts - great cardio!!!

If u wanna get the vest make go to this link..

http://www.closegrip.com/adonis/benefits.html

Then mention my name in the order (Code:Markus) - they should be giving you a discount !!! - if they dont,email me direct and I will set up a order form for u to get a discount on it.
