i should say that i am totally confused with THT3.1.ie in THT2 you said that you believe 6-9 sets is the optimum set -range for any muscle group for maximum hypertrophy,n i guess this same principle is followed in THT3.1.but btw THT3 came as a surprise with just 1set for a particular muscle group.I read the entire volume and i found it really interesting and i am into the 3rd cycle of the training with noticeable gains.i was more or less expecting a change in the workouts rather than a change in the routine as such in THT3.1.
anyway i am just going to do as you say n incorporate THT3.1 into my workout as soon as i get over with the present cycle.
Thankyou Mark for this wonderful website

As you stated with all muscles, specifcally biceps (cable preacher curls) and chest (pec deck) our goal should be: “ensure that we are fighting against the resistance at the peak contraction point i.e. the point where there is maximal muscle fiber recruitment (RESISTANCE AT PCP)” So I’m wondering if it would be wise to do a set and just hold the position at PCP for longer than just one second as you do in the videos, instead to maybe 20, 40, or 60 seconds instead of doing reps for just one set. Seems that if the PCP is when I’m getting max muscle fiber recruitment, it would benefit to hold the position as long as possible. I tried it a few times on my last sets and felt the muscle really burn and feels like it is producing even more microtears in the myofilaments (POP). Thoughts?

Not good news on the vib plate though. There’s no free lunch. You need to be the one moving your muscles for it to have any metabolic effect.
Keep up the great work – hope you take pics so you can see the contrast between when you started and when you will finish.

I’m 43 years old and at 6′ 3″ was weighing in at 228 with 26% body fat. Now a mere 21 days later I’m down to 215 and 22.5% body fat. MANS truly is amazing and I feel great. After a diet consisting of crisps and beer I’d gotten totally out of shape but your plan is my saviour. My wife even remarked yesterday that she could see my ABS. After 3 weeks! I can’t wait to see what I look like after 3 months! All I can say is thank you mate. I have a question for you -i have just purchased a vibration plate and am wondering what you think of them? Will it help? Thanks again.

It’s good to hear that you took some time for yourself. We all need that once in a while.

Rock-wall climbing is wicked! We have one at my gym, actually. I’ll try to get someone to get some pics the next time I go up. It’s been a while!

Catch you later, bud!

@Calfred. Thanks man. Yep, couldn’t get the hang of it at all. Kept taking in salt water all the time too – almost made me sick. There was a girl about 10 yrs old was better than me at it! I was great at climbing though – I just pretended not to be afraid.

Sorry Mark. I’m a guy.
I can’t believe a super fit guy like you find snorkeling difficult!
Really like your site.
Congrats on your article being published on the mag.
You have seriously low body fat percentage.
You’re a great role model to many.
