As long as we're on the subject, Bryan, do you have any plans for any creatine "non-responder"-type product?

If you are interested in a stimulant for use during workouts, I'm hearing lots of good feedback about GO from BlackStarLabs.com . I haven't tried it personally, but those that have say it's crash-free. There is a fair amount of discussion on it over at Avant. Another thing you can try...

Interesting discussion (as was the one at Avant, if you omit the childish rhetoric). Oatmeal is often used as a low-GI post-workout carb source. Oat bran cereals, such as Fiber One or Cheerios even, can also be used. I personally also use a small amount of dextrose w/ either oatmeal or Cheerios...

I too have squat 'issues', so I can empathize. Long legs, seemingly short torso make it tough; I have to concentrate on every rep & still it never feels right. I have to really watch the butt coming out as well. It has it's downside, but I have placed a wedge-shaped board under my heels...

The amounts can vary by what source of info you look at. It would be wise to use the lower amount to ensure you're getting enough.

Here's an old post on the subject: Getting heavy DBs into position

Interesting. Almost sounds like you do mini-refeeds post-workout, given what you describe. I assume you have seen the Carb Cycling stuff over at Avant; any plans to implement anything like that?

Have you read this? If not you should: HST overview It is the page previous to the one you listed, and contains descriptions of the main HST principles. Good luck!

Steve, can you describe your post-WO meal: timing, food content, etc.? Are you cutting now? What would you do differently, if anything, when bulking? Thanks- PS- and I don't mean to jack your thread...

I would suggest that you read this post at Avant: Prohormones FAQ While it doesn't address HST specifics, it may give you some helpful info to answer your other questions. Increase the overall volume while "on", either by increasing frequency or more volume per workout. Probably...

oops... - and what about sides from the androgen?

Couple questions: - how did you time this w/ your HST cycle? - have you increased volume much over what your normal HST cycle would be? if not do you plan to, either now or post-cycle? - what are your dietary plans, post-cycle, in terms of calories & macros, compared to when on?

My understanding is that excess protein is converted to glucose. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't know what he did before (I think he's said he's been training 15+ years), nor do I know why he's doing the R.O.B. thing now. But you have to hand it to the guy, he has a dang good physique. Believe he's a natural too. Pics are at Avant forum.

Yes. If you can only get 3-4, stop. Rest, then try for another set of 3-4, or even 2. Maybe then try for a 3rd set of 2-4. Just keep the weight the same.
