THT 5.3 has landed! This is the best version of THT training to date. Not only is the training even better, but the book itself has been improved.
Download instructions have already been sent to everyone on the MuscleHack mailing list. If you’re not on the list or missed the email, input your details below for your copy.
Here’s a summary of the changes to this version of THT
THT 5.3 Changelog
——————————-
- The book simpler to read and understand.
- It’s also much shorter. I’ve condensed everything you need to know into just 26 pages. In fact, if you just read from page 4 – 14, you could successfully start THT training right away. It’s not a heavy read, it’s quite enjoyable. And just 10 pages is all you need to read to begin stimulating muscle growth the most efficient way possible.
- There are new exercises in the workouts i.e. the workouts themselves have been updated.
- There is a slightly amended volume/amount in of work to be done in both the 3-day and 5-day routines.
- I’ve ditched the names “HIT” and “Volume” for the 2 cycles as they were confusing some people. They are now simply called the 5-day routine and the 3-day routine.
- In the 3-day plan, you now perform the same workout on Monday and Friday, with the Wednesday workout being different.
- THT training now comes with a file of replacement exercises. In the folder you will download there are 2 files, the book itself and a PDF file called the THT Exercise Bank. It lists substitute exercises for every movement for those who can’t perform a certain lift for whatever reason.
- This is a big one. There are now just 2 THT rep ranges, not 3.
– 8-12 Reps – Maximum Hypertrophy Cycle
– 6-8 Reps – Power & Hypertrophy Cycle. In this lower rep range you’ll really fly up the weights and strength setting new PB’s every week or so. This then creates the perfect setting for getting back to 8-12 reps per set but now with heavier loads.
- So, your THT training cycles will look like this:
* 3-Day Workout for 10 weeks (8-12 rep range)
Take a week off training
* 5-Day Workout for 10 weeks (8-12 rep range)
Take a week off training
* 3-Day Workout for 10 weeks (6-8 rep range)
Take a week off training
* 5-Day Workout for 10 weeks (6-8 rep range)
Take a week off training
* Now go back to the top: 3-day plan for 10 weeks in the 8-12 rep range.
Simply repeat this cycle over and over again while progressively getting more reps and using slightly heavier weights over time. This is the way to get bigger and stronger with 100% certainty!
———————————————————————————————————————
That’s all the changes. You’ll love the new simplified book, and you’ll love the new training even more.
The new app is coming soon! While I was hoping to have it out at the same time as the book, that’s just not going to happen. There’s too much work to be done to get it right.
The Android app will roll out first, then a new iPhone/iPad app will drop some time after that.
I didn’t want to delay releasing THT 5.3 any longer just to have it coincide with the app release. Hence the book coming today and the app a little later.
Bear with me, guys. I’m on it.
Now go download and enjoy!
As always…
Train With Intensity!
Mark
P.S. Regarding the workout logs, please pay attention to the tabs at the bottom of each file to get access to the workouts for each day of the week… 
YES!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Mark 😀
Thank you Mark!
Got the download link, thanks for that Mark. Just downloaded – can’t wait to delve in!
Hey Mark,
Good job, again ;-).
About the app, I got a windowsphone, is it possible to make an app for that system? Would be great.
Greetz,
Ron.
Thanks’ Mark, Day 1 here we come. :0)
Brilliant. Been ill for last week. Missing the gym like crazy. I’m going to cut short my 10 week cycle (3day per week) by a week, use this downtime to recharge and next week destroy the weights. Thanks. Great timing.
Mark,
Thanks for all you do!
Are Deadlifts still always at a 6 rep range and move up when hit regardless of the cycle?
Thanks! I’ve posted this on FatSecret.com.
And I’m with Ron, please make a Windows Phone 8 version of the app.
Hey mark
I’ve downloaded every one of your THT book and have yet to start one because someone always convinces me to do another workout. Well this time I’m starting THT. Just one question. Does it matter whether I start with the 3 day or 5 day?
disregard previous question Mark; Apparently, I overlooked where it you specifically mentioned that.
Thanks again
Great work! Appreciate your dedication Mark.
cheers Mark
You’re the best 🙂
“I’ve ditched the names “HIT” and “Volume” for the 2 cycles as they were confusing some people. They are now simply called the 5-day routine and the 3-day routine.”
Yay! Best thing you ever did! I never could get that one right.
“THT” still throws me off.
Thank You Mark!!! Your nonstop commitment to us is why I keep lifting Brother!!!
Good stuff, thanks!
Quick question; I’m currently on week 6 of the 5 day a week THT system. My plan was to finish up the 10 weeks and get started on TSPA after my week off. What is the best lifting cycle for TSPA after coming off of a 10 week, 5 day workout plan with THT? Should I go to 3 days a week with lower rep ranges or is sticking with 6 days a week at higher reps OK?
Anyones input is greatly appreciated.
Korey
Hi Mark
Thanks for the fantastic advice you have provided in enabling me to make a major transform both physically and personally. It has been a fantastic journey.
Quick question I can not seem to locate the new 5.3 Work Out Logs to download. Can anyone asssist?
Kind regards
Sebastian
Thanks Mark you’re a legend!!
Are there new log sheets for 5.3? Ever consider adding the warm up to the log sheets?
Thanks for doing all this and for free!
Great Bro’…thanks.
Thanks, everyone! Enjoy those new workouts, and your new gains!
@Ron @pmjeff21 Work on the Android and iPhone apps is taking up the time of the developers right now. Unfortunately there isn’t a Windows Phone 8 in the works as iPhone and Android apps will cover >90% of the market and has to be prioritized.
@Bob. I talk about that in the book. No it doesn’t matter. But newbies to THT are advised to start with the 3 day plan to break them in.
@Korey. The 6-day plan given in TSPA I think is the optimal way to do it. If you can’t, either the 5 day or 3 day workouts in TSPA will work fine.
@Sebastian @Basement Gym Yes there are new workouts logs for 5.3. The download link is in the book at the workouts section.
When I try to download it still offers me only 5.2, must try a different pc
@Andy. Just refresh the download page, you’re still seeing the old one. When you refresh the screen, it will change.
