loss of strength from cutting is normal. however you can minimize it by doing hst often (try a 5-6x/week program) and making sure not to lose too much too fast. also keep protein high. the extra weight is an interesting idea though. along those lines, i often wonder what the BEST way to...

what is your reasoning for doing reg. deads over stiff legged?

anyone have any suggestions? i have a workout in 3 hours and want to figure out what to do... i am thinking i just need to play it by ear and listen to my body, but would like to hear input from others on it so i can make the best educated decision possible on a coarse of action.

my right shoulder has been bothering me since the end of my last cycle. i did not sd at the end of last cycle since i am cutting. i thought it would repair itself during the lighter weights of the 15s. i was wrong... i am now nearing the end of the 10s and i am starting to realize that i wont...

corvettecris, are you 100% or have you played with aas?

i dont beleive there is a need to count calories if you have a good idea of how much you need to gain/lose weight. if you need to eat more, then do so. just make sure you have the proper macronutrient breakdown. and dont be afraid to eat more if you arent gaining. (keep in mind you dont want...

n/p...from what i have read the optimum rep range for leg growth is about 20 reps. applying it to hst i usually do 20, 15, 10 reps. however, i may try 25, 20, 15 for my next cycle since i am cutting.

you will get more hypertrophy on your gluts and hams the lower you go. however, be careful as i sometimes get a painful/pulling sensation on my hamstring going real low on the heavier 10s. (i do 20s, 15s, and 10s for legs) i still go low in the 20s and 15s, but i make sure to bring it down so...

tenacious, i am 6'1 @ 205lbs and 12-13% bf. believe it or not i am putting up roughly the same weight as you are. i was ~182lbs as of last june prior to hst. the other item i changed roughly the same time was eating like a dang horse. increase cals and keep training hard. i have a high...

id love to see what dans studies have to say... i just had my test levels checked recently and they are rather higher so i think the increased frequency should be ok, provided my shoulder can take the abuse.

that was my thinking as well. i just want to make sure i dont over train. i guess ill find out a couple days into it.

most that do the 10-12x a week seem to do a upper and lower body split. as you can see, i am doing every major muscle group everytime. i am not sure if it is too much, but there is only one way to find out.

i am currently cutting and my workout looks as follows: A: Incline BB Bench Inner Grip Weighted Pullups Leg Presses DB Shoulder Press Crunches B: Rows Weighted Dips Sitff Legged Deads DB Shrugs Calf Raises Preacher Curls Tri. Ext. Leg Raises I alternate back and fourth 5 days a week. my...

i havent noticed any changes other than possibly high blood pressure and lowered good cholestoral and raised bad from the nha stack. i dont have before and after bloodwork so i have nothing to compare it to. i havent seen any increase in fat loss, and i am getting weaker at the same rate as a...

i started taking the natural hormone stack (nha stack) from designer supps a couple days prior. i am not sure if my results are from the use of that or if i actually am naturally high...i didnt think it would effect my blood tests that quickly (still not sure if they did). i certainly do not...
