    Lyle McDonald's explanation of HST theory

    They question also the weeks in "pussy weights" (the 15's). I've always done 2 weeks of SD. For my next cycle I'll SD only 1 week and skip the 15's. We'll see. JD

    Lyle McDonald's explanation of HST theory

    Hi guys, I read the whole (long) thread and it was troubling to me. In it, Lyle (which I think is one of the guys who "knows") dismisses some important "facts" of HST, saying that some of it just doesn't work. I feel kind of at a loss. Even Blade gets in the thread and...

    What to eat before-after a 27 hour fast?

    You mean don't workout, event if the workout ends at 6:45am and the fast starts at 5pm that same day? Sure, it's called Judaism :)

    opinions wanted

    Hi Guys, Thanks for all the help. One question: regarding cutting or fat loss: what do you do when you SD? - Continue dieting? - Eat at maintenance then start dieting again on the new cycle? Regards, JD

    opinions wanted

    Hi O&G, Thanks for your interest in helping me. What I'm currently (or trying) doing, diet wise (or unwise) is high carb on workout days and low carb on non workout days: Tuesday and Thursday (workout days): 5:30am: Whey protein with milk (low fat) 6 : 00 - 6:40: Workout 6:42: Whey...

    opinions wanted

    Hi guys, I'm the mistery man behind Bryan's good intentions on helping me. First of all I want to thank all of you for using your time on giving advise to a complete stranger. As you saw in the post, I've been here (HST) a long time (finishing my 12th cycle) although I consider myself a newbe...

    Setting up my 15RM cycle

    dunhoonK, Remember one big important part of HST: if you SD properly, those first workouts with light weights will be hard, regarding of what you might think or feel when your muscles are conditioned. Hell, if you SD properly, you'll barely walk after your first WO of 15's :) Happy HSTing, JD

    15s the same as 5s for hypertrophy?

    Dkm, Thanks, very, very helpful. The thing is, I don't want him to use: As to say: "See? You can achieve this with higher reps also". JD PS: Maybe I should just stop arguing with him and mind my own business, but I want to try to teach him, since he'll be "helping&quot...

    15s the same as 5s for hypertrophy?

    Dkm, He knows that you lift more weight (heavier weights :) ) with the 5s but anyway, he says that for hypertrophy it's the same. Maybe he doesn't know (and I can't explain it properly to him either) why lifting heavier weights is better for hypertrophy than lower weights with more...

    15s the same as 5s for hypertrophy?

    Hi guys, I just changed gyms and asked one "personal trainer" to help me with some details (plate and dumbell weights among other things) to set up my 12th cycle of HST. He asked which was my objective, and I told him hypertrophy and I was doing HST (here in Chile nobody knows...

    Hammer Curls: Enough for biceps?

    Hi There, Just to add my 2 cents: there was a LENGTHY discussion a long time ago, about the best bicep exercise, and the incline dumbell hammer curl won. I remember Blade and Kate helped there. From that post on, I use that as my only isolation bicep exercise. JD
