this was when I was doing bodybuilding and the hit system originally I was around 220 pounds and about 18 body fat but here is the big part I lost it all and this is my journey to get back and better

Got 325 for five reps on dead lift the most important part about this is I improved with one rep increase from last week

A question came up by someone. He asked why do I not take longer breaks (2-5 min) in order to have more strength in my one working set in order to get more reps! How do I respond to him? @Markus Reinhardt

The Heavy Duty Training Foundations course is now officially complete! Anyone who completes this course will receive the Heavy Duty Nation Certificate of Completion, issued inside the course section. This is not a generic download or participation badge. It is a certification tied to completing all six modules and understanding the core Heavy Duty principles. Intensity. Recovery. Progression. Execution. Frequency. Restraint. This course was built to teach how training actually works when intensity is real. The certificate represents that understanding and serves as a personal marker of completion. This is another major addition to the Premium section of Heavy Duty Nation and one more step toward building a complete, principle based training library for serious lifters. If you are already in Premium, the course is waiting for you. If you are not, now is a good time to join. Heavy Duty Nation Premium continues to grow with structured education, not Bullshit. Respect the process. Earn the work. Protect the results. Markus

I don’t do this often, but I’m opening the floodgates for a few hours. If you’ve been sitting on the fence about the Premium section, tonight’s a solid time to jump in. I’m temporarily unlocking Premium access for $29, and that window stays open only until 6:30 PM tonight, right before I go live. Why? Because tonight isn’t a presentation. It’s not a lecture. It’s not a replay of something you’ve already heard. It’s a live Q&A. High-Intensity Training. Intensity principles. Programming. Recovery. Nutrition as it relates to HIT. Mindset. Mistakes. Ask-me-anything style. If it’s on your mind and it relates to training with real intensity, it’s fair game. If you’ve been watching from the free side, reading posts, absorbing bits and pieces, this is your chance to step inside the room and actually ask questions in real time. No filters. No scripts. Just straight answers. How to join (takes about 30 seconds): 1. Go to Heavy Duty Nation on Skool 2. Click Join Premium 3. Lock in the $29 access before 6:30 PM tonight 4. Jump into the live Q&A when we go on That’s it. No pressure. No hype. Just opening the door for those who’ve been thinking about it and want to be part of the conversation tonight. If you’re in, I’ll see you live. If not, all good, the gate closes when the session starts. Let’s talk intensity. Markus
