First Post

I hope I can include lot's of information that is pertinent to my clients and anyone else who will listen.  But all good blogs should (in my opinion) serve as a place to share a little about what is going on with me as well.  I think doing so might create a little empathy for the reader ... if that makes sense.  Anyway, my subject for the day is what I am currently doing in the gym.  I am currently employing a modified "HIT" training regimine.  Basically HIT (stands for high intensity training) is a strategy where you do limited full body work during your workouts but he sets and reps that you do are extremely intense and designed to get every last bit of effort out of you.  I am modifying this a little to meet my needs as I like the idea of working all of my body parts on a more frequent basis but given them ample time to recover in between (which is one of the principles of hit) but also am doing so specific body part (arms, chest) emphasis.  So I have been doing this for about two to three weeks now and will hopefully be able to make notes on how it is working for me.  In general, I seem to be responding okay.  I think I need to do a little higher volume work for my chest and arms.  (arms especially)  Overall, my goal is to bring up my weaker body parts a little while keeping the rest of my body where it is at as well as leaning out.  Sort of a three pronged approach.  That is all for now.  Thanks for reading!
