Hey do you guys consider jumps as effective HIIT for weight loss? I do 6 sets of 25 jumps to a medium level platform 5 days a week.
That's not really HIIT if it just jumps. Overall during what ever period you are trying to lose weight, what do you do to increase the energy drain that causes? Ultimately your body will adjust to it. Unless you are really limiting cals and this is just cardio/movement.

Basically i got tired of running for 20 minutes and was looking for a more explosive exercise that makes my heartbeat faster. I looked at a bunch on youtube but I picked this one because it's fun to do.

You can add skipping or even boxing.. These all have an element of progression....so you can increase the intensity.

Don't get me wrong but to @LITO point, what is thee element of progression. Eventually you will get accustom to doing it so look at what you can add.

ive already started so now this is a legit 15 pounds I need to lose
Okay so you dropped the water weight, now it's all on your Diet and cardio, and remember it's the intensity that burns that fat because our body will get accustomed to everything

If you run miles keep a run tracker and everyday try to beat your last time, and some days go further in your run, go .5 mile more ect, shock the body with hill sprints, HIIT ect.

And a great fat burner will aid the process also

Doing another deload and I'm going to move to another routine (maybe 5/3/1 :patrice:) once I get my weight up. Not sure where I wanna go. :francis:


Might start front squatting again.

I'm talking nasty in some DMs and got half a rock as I walk up in the gym. How am I sposed to workout with this :damn:
:russ:

That remind me of last week, I was on the Leg Extension Machine hitting reps and my ex was texting and I was talking nasty to her and my shyt start getting hard while I was on the machine:mjlol:

Mind you I'm on a Test/Tren Cycle so my libido is through the roof, A slight wind can blow across my shyt and Jimmy is erect:heh:

Do any of you guys ever notice some major disfunction when it comes to doing some movements? For instance in my class we doing this jumping kick where you have to jump off the left and kick with the right. I do that just fine. I try jumping off the right and kicking with the left and I feel like im not even in control of my body and do some awkward clunky shyt. Same thing repeats itself with lotus and tornado kicks. Instructor looking at me like :dahell:
Nah B do those again:camby:

Now I'm getting to the point in my sets that the weights are really getting fukkin Heavy, each set I go up in weight and On the 1st 2nd set I go for 12 reps, 3rd and 4th my aim is 12 if I get 10 then I'm happy, next week my first set is the weight I used on my 2nd last week and go up still trying to get the same rep range for all 4 sets if I don't I stay there to i get before I move up

So now on some exercise I hit 6 and 8 reps on the third and 4th rep because the shyt is heavy, now that's where the mental aspect comes in, some people deload, some people do a different exercise, or some psyche themselves out

Me, I'm staying there until I hit all those reps I'm going for and bang out, no matter how long it takes, that's how you get Strong and build muscles to get jacked, it's hard fukkin work

On my Wide Bar Lat Front Pulldowns it's my fourth back exercise and I'm taxed from doing Deadlifts, T Bar Rows, D Ring Low Pully Rows this is my numbers

1st Set 175lbs 12 reps

2nd Set 190 Pounds 8 Reps

3rd Set 205 Pounds 7 Reps

4 Set 220 Pounds 5 Reps

I'm going to stay here until I get 12 reps on my 2nd set, 10 reps on my 3rd and 4th Set, I have to hit those numbers before I go up, doesn't matter how long it takes, that's how you get big and Strong and when I do hit those numbers then my first set will start at 190 and my 4th set will be 235 and the process starts all over again

Just a peak into my training, Hardcore shyt, never back down from the weights
