Mark has donated SO MUCH of his own time and effort to give us all the chance to be in far better shape than the vast majority of us start out in, it's ridiculous.
Head on over to the FB Fan Page for MuscleHack and weigh in on what you think about the new release, ask any questions you have or just drop Mark a line via there.
Have a great day all and train hard - but lift safely!

THT 3.1 HIT Week #8 - a quick note
So, apparently THT 4.0 is due to drop today, according to Mark McManus over at the Facebook MuscleHack fan page. I'm excited and more than a little nervous! I've been on Mark's website before as a testimonial, complete with pictures, but I never expected to be included in one of the training guides as a testimonial.
Thanks Mark! I'm honoured to be a part of the MuscleHack community and even more so as a possible inspiration to other MuscleHackers!
Week #8 THT 3.1 HIT is tonight! I'm likely going to finish out this cycle of THT 3.1 HIT at 10 weeks as proscribed and then move on to a THT 4.0 cycle. Can't wait to hit it hard!
Have a great Monday (and week) everyone! Train hard and lift smart!

THT 3.1 HIT Week #7 wrap-up
So, that's a wrap for Week #7. Technically, I've been halving my progression through the weeks as I've only hit once a week. On the other hand, I've still managed to get ridiculous gains. I don't know if that's something I can maintain in terms of progress, but it's been cool to see for sure!
My goal for next week is a proper, 2-day workout (Monday / Wednesday) as I haven't had the chance to hit my Consolidations in a while.
All the best for a great weekend everyone!

THT 3.1 HIT Week #7 update
Point of interest: I've been doing single-day weeks for long enough now that I've messed up the cell order in my Excel worksheet. All of this week's entries are on last week's Wednesdau columns. :(
Second point of interest: I ran out of (metaphorical) gas yesteday at the gym. Need to go back today for shoulders, back, traps, wrist curls and abs. Otherwise, I'm continuing my freakish gains - benched 220 x 8+2, squatted 240 x 9, curled 90 x 10 (cabled single), tricep extensioned 225 x 8 (full stack). THT 3.1 HIT Mass days are KILLER!
Let's discuss the last one quickly.Months ago, when I was doing THT HIT Mass, I was doing about 195 lbs. When I flipped over to THT 2.0 Refix, I was down around 180 for my chest/tricep days and then ultimately ended up around 195 again. This bears noticing because when you're doing lots of pre-exhaust, it still affects your opening numbers and technically lowers them. You're still repping to failure, but with less weight.
On to this THT HIT cycle. I started at 195lbs and now I'm at 225. That's a hell of a progression. I do credit secondary isolsated single arm sets as being part of this. My triceps, while strong, have always felt / "looked" under-developed to me. So, this cycle especially, I've been working extra hard to get them to build out. They're definitely getting there, and the significant increase in strength shows just that.
So, tonight's workout is going to be short and sweet, followed by much swearing and splitting of firewood. I leave you with a totally unrelated-to-weightlifting picture, one that I took last weekend at our getaway spot on Wasi Lake. Enjoy!
Remember, folks. It's simple. Eat, MuslceHack, rest, repeat. Continue until you're where you want to be - odds are it won't take that long. Have a great Thursday!

THT 3.1 HIT Week #7
Nobody told me this was a maintenance cycle!!!! GRRRR
And by that I mean that I've only managed to hit the gym once per week for what has to be the last 4 weeks. Mind you, I've been supplementing myself with good old-fashioned manual labour - hauling and splitting firewood for the most part, a little digging of the rear garden at home yestrday - but mostly firewood-related work.
So, tonight after work will be my first gym run of the week. Oddly enough, I feel great. I can't wait to get in the gym tonight. I just want to get in there, hit it hard, wreck myself (metaphorically) and go home ready to start some new weight levels. Positivity is key for stuff like this. I'm progressing on one day per week - not normally, but not outside the realm of possibility.
So welcome to your Tuesday. Welcome to my Tuesday. Welcome to our Tuesday. Make it happen!
Lift hard, train smart, be safe.
