    How Do You Feel After Your Workout?

    I've never really been particularly keen on what my body has tried to tell me, so I thought I'd throw this question out there. I'm currently thinking "Ready for More" is how one should feel post-workout, but I'd really like to hear what the HST vets have to say about the matter. Thanks.

    Frequency of Protein Consumption

    I believe I may have seen this answered here once before, but I cannot find the thread. If protein isn't comsumed at regular intervals throughout the day, can that hinder strength and mass gains? As an example, I consume 170 g of protein per day, and many times 100 of those grams are consumed...

    Should one gain weight when strength training?

    I understand a large part of strength training is neural recruitment and not necessarily hypertrophy. That said, should one increase calorie intake if over a period of several weeks bodyweight stays the same? Or, should one only increase calories if strength isn't improving on the current diet...

    How much rest between strength cycles?

    I am currently trying out Pavel's Power to the People routine. I just came off of a fat-loss diet, and I am eager to get back in the gym to add some pounds to my lifts. How long should I wait before working out again? Thanks in advance.

    Decreasing Planes of Motion?

    If you read my trap bar deadlift thread in the Basic Training Forum, you're familiar with my recent experiences. I am currently trying to lose fat, but I am hoisting poundages I have never attempted before. I am thinking that one might be able to achieve greater strength and hypertrophy by...

    A Question Regarding Trap Bar Deadlifts

    Sounds good to me, Kate! I've recently remembered another reason why I switched bars: the barbell scrapes the hair off of my shins, leaving a clearing in a dense forest. I don't know. I think I'm beginning to like the look now.

    A Question Regarding Trap Bar Deadlifts

    Should one be able to lift a greater amount of weight with a straight barbell versus a trap bar? At my university, where I train most days of the year, I use a trap bar. But I've come home recently on vacation, and my home gym only has a barbell. Much to my surprise, I lifted my trap bar max...

    Questions About Buffers, Lactic Acid, & Vinegar

    I've done some searching about taking vinegar post-workout for the nutrient partitioning effects, as I am currently trying to lose fat. I've seen it mentioned that if one supplements with vinegar, it is advisable to add a buffer, to maintain normal pH levels in the body. From what I've read, it...

    Insanely low LBM?

    Those fat analyzer scales are very inaccurate, especially for lean athletic folks. Let the mirror be your guide as to how lean you are. Or, if you simply must have a precise [precise, but not necessarily accurate] number, then buy some Slim Guide skin fold calipers. I'd say you are on your way...

    My grip strength is lacking

    That's an interesting idea. Are the forearm muscles similar to the calf muscles, in that they require high volume for growth?
