HIT4120's video: Full Body HIT Weights Workout 27 03 12

This video is of my mate Nick doing his latest full body HIT weights workout. Towards the end of 2011, Nick approached me and expressed a desire to get into shape and stated that "I want to do what you do". That entailed doing some intense, brief and infrequent weight training along with one hard rowing sessions a week, either 4 x 500 metres with 2:00 rest in-between each rep or a straight 30:00, covering as many metres as possible in that time. I also suggested that he does plenty of brisk walking as well. Nick also had to get is diet sorted out. I eat a high protein, high fat, restricted carbohydrate diet in an Intermittent Fasting (IF) style so that's what Nick's doing but unlike me, to drop the fat, he has to be in a calorie deficit. It's not 'a diet' and 'some gym work' he's doing, it's a lifestyle change that he's made and will hopefully keep up. So, at the start of 2012, Nick embarked upon his lifestyle change. At the time this video was recorded (27/03/12), he'd lost 24 pounds of fat and was considerably stronger than he was at the start of 2012. It goes without saying that he's also a lot healthier as well. If he sticks with it which I'm sure he will, he will continue to get healthier, leaner, stronger and will also add some muscle. His current workout is a basic full body machine based workout: Assisted chins Shoulder press Seated rows Vertical bench Leg press All exercises are done to positive failure only on Nautilus Nitro machines and the workout is performed using the 'rush factor'. Although this was a decent workout, it wasn't perfect. There are some fairly minor form issues which need to be rectified but that's what's great about videoing the odd workout: it helps to pick these things up so that they can be addressed later. All in all though, it was a great effort.
