Goals

Height: 6'1''
Weight: 199
BF%: >10%

I realized that I’ve been under utilizing my middle back muscles due to the nature of my previous workout. Whereas my deltoids, trapezius muscles, splenius capitis, rhomboid major, and terres minor and major have become strong and well developed, I’m lacking strength in my latissimus dorsi, serratus anterior, posterior, inferior, external intercostal, and my iliocostalis lumborum (supporting middle back muscles, lats are the most major muscle used by the middle back). Since adding in the lat pulldowns however, I’ve realized just how under powered they are, I’m getting the rookie lifter muscle burn sensation again, and it feels awesome. I may be a glutton for punishment, but I love knowing that I’ve put in good hard work at the gym and coming home absolutely drained. I’m also noticing the hypertrophy benefits of my HIIT training. My quads, biceps femoris, glutes, and abductor muscles are becoming much stronger and leaner. I’ve also noticed that my heart rate returns to normal after intense exercise about twice as fast as before I started my HIIT. That coupled with an increased lactic threshold are helping to push me harder to reach my goals. I love HIIT, it’s like grinding in an RPG, and leveling up your body is sweet.
