Full Circle

After so much training ADD and too many months of wasted workouts doing things that seems more fun than productive, I've now come full-circle back to the style of training that got me into this field in the first place.

My early days of training started with a strong HIT influence. For those that are unaware, HIT training is about using fewer "work" sets for a given bodypart. And the sets that do count are taken to failure and beyond using various methods such as drop sets, partials, rest/pause (my favorite) and forced reps with a partner.

I had gone through phases where I tried out new theories and used several of the most common methods of strength training. I benefitted from a few such as Westside Barbell style powerlifting and tried other methods not to my benefit.

With the aches and pains that come from heavy lifting, I've taken up bodyweight exercises but not really long enough to make good use of them. Plus I get bored easy enough, let alone going weeks not lifting heavy stuff!

More to come...
