Thanks for the responses, I have scheduled a doctor's appointment for this weekend to get checked out, I just want to be sure that weight lifting and eating to bulk is safe for my body, and if there has been any correlation from these activities to an increase of heart palpitations/stress or...

Hello everyone, I have been doing HST for a while and I have been very discouraged lately about ever lifting again. Due to job issues and my studies, I have just started up with HST again as of 2 weeks ago: lifting on schedule, and eating a lot more than I used to in order to gain weight...

Thanks Vicious, that makes a lot of sense now that I think about it. When I was eating 7 meals a day about 3 years ago I wasn't getting as ENOrmous a stomach as I now get. But now that I think more, I was eating at least 1 salad per meal, with corn, broccoli, and other veggies. Now, I am barely...

any answers to the enormous stomach problem? It sucks really....

grr sorry, I posted twice... But I have a question of O and G: you said "I work each bodypart 10 times per week but with only one set per body part each workout and I feel great." So, you must do more than one workout per day on some days, but not others?

Dkm: Thanks, I hate learning the hard way (and painful), that's why I hope people like me will take this advice. Heavy Duty Dude: Old and Grey is right, I messed up frequency with volume. My diet is not as exact as someone who keeps track of every single calorie, but I was eating basically 4000...

I just want to update my info to help people out who might have the same body type as I do. I have just finished my second cycle, and this cycle I skipped the 15s and went 12/10/6. ALSO, my routine was 6x a week mon/wed/fri upper tues/thurs/sat lower, AND I increased my frequency to two working...

OK GREAT I am satisfied now DKM, one more thing, or anyone else who is reading this, Are 15s necessary after you have done a cycle? Are there people on this board that don't do 15s because their muscles respond the heavier weight better?

0--> Dkm: So, you would just stick to the original HST routine? I just wish that I could be in the gym more often...something like 4 times a week at least. Anyways, I saw your routine that you posted and its 4x a week, which seems really suitable. Could I do something like you do, and add fewer...

Hey everyone, since in my last post I did not get much of my answers responded to, I'm gonna make this one more precise so that I can get some quick advice.  I can eat a lot (ectomorph with high metabolism) so a few years ago I was in the gym 5x a week and I was actually growing really well (b/c...

mdz0739: Thanks for the advice, I'll look into it.. Does anyone have any comments on a split that is like: 12, 10, 8 (or 6) instead of 15, 10, 5?

That's interesting , so what would be the difference between a split that HST proposes, such as I do - which is 2 sets for each body part per day (3 days a week) and 2 different exercises only - for a total of 6 sets/week, and a split that does 1 body part once a week for 6 sets during that day...

Hi everybody, since I have been introduced to these boards I have done a lot of reading on all the principles involved, and I am really glad I invested my time into this website.  I now *sort of* have a better clue as to what I am doing in the gym.  HOWEVER, I still am kinda skeptical about full...

Bryan, Hi, my name is Joe...thanks a lot for the detailed response. I have been on the WBB forums for a couple years now; I have been using their WBB #1 principles. Basically, my workout was M-Chest T-Back W-OFF Th- Shoulds Fri-Off Sat - Legs. Every 4 weeks I would change the rep range; for...
