Ok Ok!!!! Haha

That’s right, I didn’t take any measurements just went by the mirror. I honestly do feel like I’ve put on some size all over. I still look the same leanness but my scale weight has gone up by about 1kg or so. Honesty I could try and eat more too! Unexpectedly I saw most growth on my triceps...

First cycle of 15s, 10s and 5s in the books! One of the more enjoyable workout styles/progression methods I think I’ve ever tried. Will make some tweaks over the weekend and get ready to bring my next cycle of HST. Thoroughly enjoyed the frequency, load progression and the feeling of not maxing...

I hate little niggling injuries! Being a natural lifter sucks haha

Absolutely I too love discussing the science! I just have to remind myself not to get too into over thinking my current routine which I often do lol! In the past I’ve found it hard to stick to a routine in search for optimal so I just have to be careful! That’s awesome about your graduate...

There is just so much information these days. Teasing out every last thing someone said online would lead to neurotic tendencies! I’ve definitely had success with a double progression model in the past- add reps then weight. At some point though I either can’t do one or the other, have to taper...

Howdy! Great thinking. This has been going around for a while in the evidence based community. I’ve heard on a number of occasions that mechanical tension is of great importance for muscle growth. I suppose one way to increase that mechanical tension is to add weight to the bar, however, that...

Just some more progress pics to keep me accountable! Final week of 5s for me! Thankfully it’s winter here in Australia so the shred doesn’t have to start just quiet yet hehe!

Progress pic update! Time to continue the 5s for another fortnight before cycling back to the beginning. I feel like I’ve either made some slight progress or my new gym has way better down lights haha! Naturally I am eating in a slight surplus for the first time in a while which has helped. I...

Haha that’s awesome! Gains have been made!

Finally hitting my 5 rep maxes this week, been a shock to actually lift at my rep max for the 5s. Strength seems to only just be holding on. One set for some exercises I had to drop a rep as I just couldn't keep up with good form. I guess they are called your rep max's for a reason lol. Overall...

After doing 15s for squats I don’t know how I’d feel about a 20 rep set haha! Sounds like a great stimulus for growth though. Still loving the “vanilla” HST at the moment!

Wow really? What results did you get from doing that?

Haha that’s one way to look at it!

Wow that’s some serious deadlift numbers!
