    HST Equipment

    Hey Bryan, It sounds like you want to compete directly with what Ironmind produces. Vulcan racks, Pillars of Power spot racks, De Rigeur Dipping Belt, etc. www.ironmind.com Ironmind is well known for their quality, so if you wanted to compete with them it'd probably have to be in price. Just...

    Bryan, question on a comment in your article...

    Hey Bryan, In your meso article "Pharmacological Approaches to Fat Loss: Targeting Beta-Adrenergic Receptors" you say this: http://www.mesomorphosis.com/article....ors.htm We discussed this a little over at Lyle's forum and couldn't figure out a reason for taking the ECA before...

    Icarian

    Because of an injury to my left hip joint (heavy squats) during the 7th week of my first HST cycle I'm not able to do squats or full-range deadlifts this cycle. Instead I'm using the Icarian Leg Sled, and it allows me to do some decent leg work without further straining the hip. Good...

    Fish Oil

    Just as a further note, Puritan's Pride is having a 'buy 1 get 2 free' sale, which applies to their SuperEPA product among others. http://tinyurl.com/2szxz I haven't figured shipping in, but ignoring shipping it comes out to be $0.10 / gram EPA+DHA, which is the cheapest 'higher-quality' capped...

    Slow and Fast Protein

    It shouldn't, no. The body should be able to absorb all of it. Yes, combining fast proteins with slow proteins and/or fats and/or things like fiber should slow down their absorption. At least, that's my understanding. Brian

    Slow and Fast Protein

    I can't think of any reason honey would speed up the adsorption, but it would increase the insulin response since you're increasing carbs. Also, in 100 grams of honey there is: 17 water 81.9 total sugars 0 galactose 33.8 glucose 42.4 fructose 0 lactose 1.5 sucrose 4.2 maltose Source: Matthews...

    Fish Oil

    Here's info to get you started: http://www.qualitycounts.com/fpfattyacids.html http://www.drumlib.com/supp/prod/fish-oil_01.htm Highest quality would probably be PBL PureOmega3, with the cheapest price for it at 1fast400.com. The stats are 430/230 for 1000mg, but the caps are 1200mg giving...

    Alternatives to dextrose

    Look in the phone book for local brew shops (beer). They should have dextrose / corn sugar for cheap. Possibly cheaper than you can get online. Brian

    Hypertrophy and Strength

    chacha, Based on my understanding of the principles behind HST, yeah the high-load work would interfere with your gains because it would 'signal' the protective tissue to grow a lot, and you wouldn't be able to get as much mechanically-induced contractile fiber damage when working again at...

    Box-Squats vs Rack-Squats

    Hey guys, thanks for the tips. I recently found out that I have some biomechanical problems (is that the right phrase?) that are affecting my movements. I've got a lot of scar tissue built up in my foot (left, though) that's not allowing me to flex my foot much. ART seems to be helping...

    Hypertrophy and Strength

    Hey there chacha, I'm like you, in that I'm more interested in strength than size, but want to get bigger so that I can get stronger. It's my present thinking that the best way to do it is do HST and every once in a while switch to a strength-orinted program. Say, 3-4 cycles of HST then a...

    Box-Squats vs Rack-Squats

    Hey chacha, Thanks for the tip on pushing my feet against the sides of my shoes. It seems to help a little. My main concern is that I have a strength imbalance that I need to work on, and if rack squats would help. It'll be good when I can get to the point where I don't have to be conscious...

    Box-Squats vs Rack-Squats

    Hi all, I've done my fair share of rack squats in the past (set the safety stands below parallel, begin the squat from the bottom position each rep) and would like to see if anyone has thought about differences between box-squats and rack-squats. From the little that I've read, it looks like...
