    Ok, so I’m resting up this week and starting to get eager to get back at it. Curious what everyone is doing for calves. First round I did standing single calf but my DBs only go to 90 so I’m going to need to switch that up next cycle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Can you guys elaborate on the purpose of extending the 5s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It's a good thing Santa is coming soon... my barbell broke and I'm not sure it's worth fixing. I'll be wrapping up the first extended week of 5s tomorrow and the following week with a 5' bar I have then shopping around for a new bar during SD.

    Thanks guys! I’m up over 8lbs now. Been there since the 10s ended. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Just finished the second week of 5s. Any suggestions on extending the 2 weeks? Just keep trying to add weight each session?

    Thank you Sci and Old and Grey. Would you still do no more than 3 sets with only 5 exercises per session? I'm wondering if that's the reason 4-5 is being recommended with this routine.

    As I prepare for the 5s starting tomorrow, I'm wondering more about the following statement: "HST suggests that you limit the number of sets per exercise per workout to 1 or 2. This is based on "some" evidence that sets beyond the first "effective" set do little more than burn calories." I'm...

    Between 8-9% according to Jackson/Pollock 3 Caliper Method.

    Agreed. I somehow missed the notifications for the recent posts but I'm happy to have caught up. Thanks all. And thanks for the nudge on Myo reps next round. I'll use SD to do a little more research around that as it's not clear to me how to weave them in to the 10s. I've done some rest...

    Appreciate that, Brix. I started the 10s today with 3 sets. Dropped skullcrushers. Definitely agree about getting back to heavy chins. Bums me out that I used to do heavy chins and dips years ago but I'll get back to it again soon!

    Just finished 2x15s today. Up 2.4 lbs since I started. Looking forward to the 10s.

    I've decided to add a few things here and reassess after this round. I added Skullcrushers, Single Calf Raises and straight sets of Reverse crunches w extension. Will reassess the accessories after this round of mastering the basics.

    Good questions, thank you. 3 days a week - I was basing this off of this post > http://thinkmuscle.com/community/threads/getting-back-into-hst.43471/ So, it sounds like if I don't add any more accessory work then I should ramp up the primary lifts like 3 sets for 10s, and 4-5 for 5's. My...

    I'm going with the following A/B split for the first cycle. A Squat A Bench A UH Pulldown A Chest Supported Row B Deadlift B OH Press B Dips B Barbell Curls Should I stick with 2 sets across the board or run 3 sets when I get to the 5's? I've also seen 2 sets for 15s, 3 for 10s, and 4-5...

    Thanks. Well, I've still been training.. just not HST. I'll see how the weekend goes and reassess.
