Evaluate my high intensity workout routine

Posted by: Shivanshu

Sir,

HIT routines are very demanding ....i can feel it but they are geetin amazing results ....But now days even with changing routines ...that intensity which used to come at the starting of HIT program won't come out .....Or if (for instance back workout) I try to push me harder I'll just end up with very very sore forearm.

Any tips would be appericiable

Here's one problem I see right away, you are training back the next day after training biceps, you biceps will be tired and since almost all back exercises use the biceps you will not get as good a back workout as you'd like to. Why not switch to doing legs Tuesday and back on Friday.

You should cycle your intensity, by doing three weeks training to failure and then 2 weeks stop a couple of reps short of failue, this will keep you from getting burned out.

Sounds also like you need to include some forearm grip work.
