25 weeks of Project Hulk 2012

[LetsGrow]

But I wanted to continue to progress over the 25 weeks but I also think, whatever type of muscle fibers you're mostly made up of is a huge difference too. Ive always seemed to grow best 8-15 rep range. And I probably look bigger because I've been eating a ton more. But I just have that gut instinct that HIT training is a better way to go for me

If that's the feedback you are getting from your body I would say go with it. Remember what works well for one person doesn't always mean it works well for you. I am like you in that I do better in the 8+ rep range. Also 5x5 is better for strength more so than size, that being said you will still put on some size with it but how much really varies from person to person.

Exactly, and I've always been told to go with your gut instinct. But again I think any size gained is from the eating big, and not from this specific routine

Bro IMO yes and no.
As I remember you have kinda done a hybird 5x5 becasue of the requirements of your life. So at this point I dont think you can really say with any accuracy whether or not it works for you.
Again IMO if you could get on it and stay exactly on it for the 12 week duration you would be amazed. However in your life that may not be a reality. So my advice would be to do what you think would work best for you. But I strongly feel that you will get WAY more mass on your frame by moving in the direction of fewer heavy reps. Bro it just plain works and no question about it bro thats it.You already know exactly what the HIIT will do for you. It will make what you have look good but you just dont have that much. I know I am not being too nice to you here man but I am telling you the truth.
Bottom line is this. You must slow your metab down, you must do fewer but heavier reps, you must eat big and clean and this is gonna add mass to your frame. The HIIT/HIT just isnt gonna do that for you bro.
Of course your more comfortable with high rep cuz thats what you know and are used to. For me its the opposite. Im now doing higher reps and I have to force myself to do my workouts. Its just not fun like the 5s5, 3x5, 10x3 is for me. But I am getting the results that I was looking for too.
So there you go bro its up to you man. But do keep your log going plz so we can all ride along with you.

Thats the truth ZED. I will still kind of be staying in a low rep range with as much warmup sets as needed. Then I will do two working sets with 6-8reps and then do several drop sets along with it hitting between 8-12reps. Changing things up adding in resistance sets, forced reps, paused reps, etc if I'm able to train with a partner

Stero if that AV pic is recent you look bigger to me bro. I have used this program as it was designed and I am not siding with Zed either. It is fact. I gained alot of mass on this routine. It was alot of fun as well becuase I knew I was adding weight every time. However if you don't have confidence in it then it probably won't work. You won't be training with the intensity you need due to the fact that you are second guessing it. I hope things work out bro, I am here for you if you need me brother.

Thanks OWl, and yes that avi pic is recent. I know I have gotten a little bigger, and I am a little heavier in weight. I do believe it will work if I stuck with it, but I have a national pro champion training me now, and he wants me doing a little different routine, still heavy weights a lower reps, mixed up a little with some other things.

That sounds interesting bro. Go with it but keep this log up plz. Am very interested to watch you progress.
Best of luck bro and KILLDATSHIT!!

Looking forward to seeing your progress bro!
