Hi! I just watched Ronnie Coleman workout "The Unbelievable". When he trains he triceps, it hit me that he never straightens his arms. He is constantly working in the area where there is most stress on the triceps. His is stretching his triceps fully at the bottom, but he never...

Hi! I just mailed them and told them to mail you if they were wondering about something. I personally feel that they should have you, Bryan, write your own personal column in this article, I think the article would be really great then.

HI! I don´t know the author. I´ll keep you posted. B&K is BODY. They have just changed names. So it´s the same magazine. I started my second HST cycle today, puked again. :-) dangit, those low weights are really were painful!

Hi! I just mailed the magazine BODY, the biggest workout magazine in Sweden. They will be doing an article about HST in the coming number. It will be very interesting to see what they will say. I hope they have really read everything, and just don´t think it´s "another workout...

Hi! I don´t remember where I read this, probably in the FAQ somewhere... But is it true that when one is trying to contract a muscle that is being stretched (eccentric reps) the MOST TENSION is placed on the muscle, MORE TENSION=MORE GROWTH? Thanks.

Hi! Yes, I agree with noobie. I have done HST cycle and got minimal gains, because I tried not gain fat, so I didn´t eat as much. Of course...some muscles grew anyway. Arms and shoulders especially. THis time I´ll still be doing HST but eat at lot more protein and do cardio twice a week after...

Hi! Yes, I understand, it all comes down to a good SD. Right? Just a question about bodybuilders in general. I am sure no-one of the top bodybuilders uses a HST routine, still they have grown huge. How the hell can they become so big if they don´t constantly increase the weight like we´re...

Hi! I have about 20%bodyfat, so I need to drop some and build more muscle. I am planning on doing walking four mornings a week, to burn fat. I´ll have a protein shake right before. Also, I´ll be doing cardio togheter with a 6-day HST split. What do you think? A question on the use of a gainer...

Hi! Yes, I understand this. So...one COULD use the same weights for 3-4 weeks, but the muscles will respond MUCH BETTER to an increase in weight every week. Right? But...if one uses the same weight for some weeks one will be able to train longer until reaching the maximum strength limit. But I...

Hi! Speaking short term, what your muscles are responding to from workout to workout (~48 hours later) is the "repeated" structural challenge. The frequency that this occurs is also important. This will be true for about 3-4 weeks. The more frequent the load, and the more sensitive...

Hi! My arms are really bad, I need to them to grow significantly. JUst because my arms are bad, I believe I can use quite a low starting weight, this means a bigger increase to the max. (Good for growth). Also, I have been doing a 6-day split, and my arms has responded better to this more...

Hi! Thanks vicious! Great reply! Yeah, you´re right about the big exercises. Squats and deadlifts are really, really exhausting. :) What does the deadlift train? Of course the back, especially lower back. But what other muscles are hit? Some legs too obviously.

Hi! How can I reach repeated bout effect from sprinting? I understand that the legs are getting a lot of work, but that doesn´t concern me, because my legs are already way ahead of the rest of the body. Will any other muscles suffer from RBE because of HIIT sprinting? Running doesn´t work any...

Hi Biz! Thanks for the reply! Yes, I did one session of HIIT earlier today, I only did ten minutes! After that I was so exhausted I had to lay down in the middle of the track. :) My mouth tasted blood! It was very tough. But that´s how I like it! :)

Hi! I have been reading a lot about HIIT training. High intensity interval training. A brief 15 min workout consisting of intervals will increase growth hormone levels, testosterone levels, and fat burning processes will start. And all of this without increasing catabolic levels, cortisol, like...
