I haven't officially tried my ORM, but thus far it is 2.5 but I know I can do more than 600lbs on deads so I will try that soon as well. Still great job on the 2.6, right now you are beating me.

[El Freako]

Awesome MP Braaq.

 

[Bulkboy]

sick military press bro! got some damn strong shoulders thats for sure i dont quite get the HIT element in this session though, infact it looks quite voluminous, 11 sets for shoulders, and 6 for biceps

one question btw, do u take every working set to total failure, or do u stay a rep away from it?

 

[Hypocrisy86]

awesome work man, biceps are mighty strong, good lifts there,
250 for BB is amazing

 

[tkD]

good workout bro, strong military presses, keep it up

 

[Big_Guns_Lance]

Mighty strong on those military presses bro!

6 total sets is low volume, but actually it was 5..... :wutyousay:. My shoulder is messed up so I am not about to go all out on a crazy set. My shoulders have always built well with a bit more volume.. but your also counting my warm up sets as working sets and that is not the case. My version of HIT is a bit different, I do two working sets per exercise instead of one. When I did one I just got stronger, but started looking like I was losing size. This adjustment fixed that problem. For direct deltoid head work, I find higher reps from 8-12 works better.
I don't go to failure on most sets I go at right about failure, on some sets though I will take it to failure with a forced rep. But that is usually on heavy compound exercises.

 

[Big_Guns_Lance]

Hmm, It's interesting how different HIT advocates train. I do train just with the one workoing set and i get size and strength from it.

Anyway man, it seems to be working for you

Anytime Blake get's a PB you know it's some scary weight
