Message: [QUOTE="bbbom, post: 238994, member: 16301"] From what I've read I guess I'm somewhat using HIT. I try to keep my time down to a minimum so I don't get bored but I like to know that I'm getting some benefit by increasing strength. I hate being inside for a workout but I try to build my upper body strength over the winter. It helps for digging my sled out and picking my bike up in the spring. The weather has turned very nice for this time of year so I try to lift 2 days a week doing upper bod first one day and lower bod first the 2 nd day - usually Tuesday & Thursday. I've found that supersets keep the intensity up and I get done faster. I do 3 sets of 8 - 12 increasing the weight until I can barely eek out #8 on the last set (no spotters so I have to be careful). I use a 15 rep warm up set for the bench and squat prior to my 3 sets of those. Bench Press/Pulldowns - med grip Incline Bench/Bent Over Rows Upright Rows/Lateral Raise Lying Tricep Extension/Dumbell Curls Dumbell Squats - no need for a superset and no bar to use Sissy Squats/Stiff Legged Deadlift or leg curls Calve Raises Hyperextensions This only takes me about an hour keeping my rest between sets under 1 minute - fits into my lunch hour sorta. I do abs most mornings cardio for lunch Mon, Wed & Fri - mountain biking if possible otherwise rowing machine or elliptical or stairmaster. I've only been doing this routine for 2 weeks but I know when I got stuck last Sunday on my snowmobile, I deadlifted the rearend by myself - first time this season I've been able to do it but I was pretty mad at getting stuck too.
