Im confused on how i will hit different muscles with each of these training methods. Say i do chest on monday for the high intensity, low volume and more rest day. How am i going to be able to do chest for the low intensity, high volume and low rest day which is tuesday? Do i rotate which day each muscle is to be worked each week? Please respond im eager to get back to training i recently had a minor rotator cuff injury.
Thanks,ryan

Hey Elliot:
Awesome material here! Mate I just wanted to ask a question in regards to the structure and template you just described in the vids. This template seems to differ from the ones in the lean hybrid muscle program, are you using more of a single session periodisation? I know your also using macro and micro it just seems to me that from the video your stating day 1 or monday is (HI) (HV) and high (RI) yet in comparison in the program day one is using a few more variables other than the ones stated above. a lot of the other day’s seem to be the same with each session having a different structure than the ones in the vid. any chance anyone can help clarify this for me?
cheers!

Elliot:
have increased my bench press to 110 lbs (not counting the bar) This is awsome, at least to me, considering I started a couple of months ago with 50lbs and one cycle concentrating on upper body chest , arms and abs. Now doing two cycles with high intensity, heavy weight 5-8 reps, sets of 3.
Thanks, the wife thinks I have sexy pecs and the arms are HARD bro!!!

Excellent video. I really like the whole “hybrid muscle training” philosophy, it is legit. I have been doing some similar style training for nearly a year and am reaping the results. I have been able to burn fat, pack on more muscle, and get stronger all at the same time. My training for the majority of 2010 has been something like this.
Mon: Chest
Tue: Circuit workout like the “300″ sometimes finishing up with some tire flipping and sledge hammer work. Or perform a Kettelbell circuit (usually higher reps because I own 1 45lb KB)
Wed: Back
Thur: Shoulders
Fri: Arms
Sat: Legs
Sometimes I will add another resistance type cardio workout and do tri’s with shoulders or chest, and bi’s with back. I also usually vary my rest time, reps, and intensity weekly or sometimes all within the same workout. After adopting this training style I have broken through so many plateaus it is ridiculous. I have lost about 15-20 lbs over this time frame and last week I benched 305 ten times, when towards the beginning of the year I could only do it three times. I have also added over a 100 lbs. to my squat and deadlift max. I really like your ideas and am going to add in some functional, strong man type training to my routine.
