Warning: Troll Alert

Speaking of putting to bed myths, supercompensation and HIT were put to bed by the scientific community many years ago. 2-Factor Theory is prevalent and has a body of evidence to support it. I know that HST is not based on 2-Factor, but there are some similarities. One being frequency and the...

HST is certainly geared towards hypertrophy. I was just making the point that training to failure has no merit in elite athletics.

The whole "lifting to failure" has pretty much been debunked now. Almost all elite strength athletes are using more frequency. Most subscribe to the Dual-Factor Theory. While HST is not based on Dual Factor, it does share many commonalities. Most notably, more frequent training and...

Bill Star Pendelay Just to name two.

I'm on my 4th cycle and only did 15's on my first. I generally start with the 10s.

Stop feeding the troll. If you do not feed the troll, he will go away, as there will be no one to get a reaction out of. This should be the last post in this thread, as nothing productive will come from this converstion. Have a nice day.

That describes me. I've done 3 bulking cycles, gained 30lbs, but wanna keep my waist from getting over 36". I fall in that 10-15% BF range, so I think that eating this way could be a welcome change of pace for me. My question is: I've ate 4000-4200cals/day last cycle and gained 10 lbs...

Nice results Lance! Great job. Just finished my 3rd cycle and hit my target bodyweight for this cycle of 210lbs. Actually, I surpassed it a bit at 212lbs. This was a total gain of about 10lbs for this cycle. Since June I've added over 30 lbs, so I am pretty pleased with my results. I dont...

What is your height/weight? Exactly how many calories are you taking in every day? How many grams of protein? If you have not gained any weight in 4 wks, there is no doubt you need to be eating more. That being said, most of my growth comes in the 5's and negs. Good luck.

At 6'4" and over 210, you should probably be eating around 4000 cals/day. I'm about the same height and weight and to add weight, I've been eating over 4000 cals/day.

Have you had your T-levels checked lately? Maybe HRT could help get you over the hump.

Like my friend Tot said, most people can do much more weight with squats than with bench. You have much stronger muscles and joints around the hip. Have you just recently started training legs? Just research on proper squat form and keep working hard and you'll bring up those weak points in no...

5 rep max after 1st HST cycle: military: 135 bench: 215 Incline bench: 190 Squat:300 After 3rd cycle: military: 150 bench: 235 Incline bench: 210 Squat:335 I am certainly the strongest I've ever been. Most importantly, I've gone from 178lbs to 210lbs since June. I have put on an acceptable...

I am also considering not doing 5 reps for arms. The extra heavy weights are lighting my joints up. I think I'll probably stick to 8's from here on out.
