Huge in a Hurry: My First Week

Posted by Chris on Jul 12, 2009 in Huge in a Hurry | 0 comments

After my first week of Huge in a Hurry’s Get Ready workout, I am feeling the pain. In case you don’t know, Huge in a Hurry is a book about new fitness techniques for building mass and strength. The book follows it’s ideas with scientific evidence and great examples of why this new approach to fitness is sure to beat out any other. At first I was very skeptical, I mean from my experience I have seen great gains using traditional 3×10 workouts, with split body parts each week. This book flips that idea, don’t focus on sets, focus on reps. The book wants us to focus on a set number of reps, say 25, now that doesn’t mean you do just one set. The book wants you to use different weight ranges, for example, Light weights which are 20-22 rep max weights. Medium which is 10-12. Heavy which is 4-6. Super heavy which is 2-3. Now each workout includes only 3 exercises; upper body pulling, upper body pushing, and legs. The reasoning is simple, all of the workouts we will be doing are compound full body workouts 3 days a week. It is recommended to do workouts on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday’s to allow adequate rest.The biggest change in our workout will be speed, you have to perform all exercises at the fastest speed you can  (while maintaining perfect form and control). The author says that by working your muscles with different weights, but more speed our muscles are recruiting the largest fibers to help with the lift instead of just our smallest motors. This recruitment of large fibers is what provides us with superb strength and muscle growth.  Read more here...

Working Out for Beginners

In everything we do in our daily lives, at some point we were a beginner. We all had to begin somewhere, not necessarily the same place, but we have worked our way through the beginning stages of different activities. From driving, to writing, to even working we have worked our way from beginners to veterans, so when it comes to fitness don’t let yourself be put down because there is so much to learn. We were all here at one point.  Read more here...
