    Strength imbalances with Abrv. Routine?

    I think I asked this years ago but never came to much of a conclusion. I like the idea of abbreviating to 4-6 big exercises but always worry about possible problems with strength imbalances between opposing muscles. Cant seem to find any straight forward advice. I read everything from doing the...

    Eat every 2.5-3 hours

    Sorry Tom dont have any studies but from what I have read from Lyle, Aaron etc is that the size and type of protein as well as fibre/fat content of meals will decide time between feedings before the body starts looking to breaking down muscle for protein. Lyle's comments

    brown vs white rice

    No, only if you eat more of it :D Calories are important not GI. Adequate protein, adequate essential fats the rest is open to personal tastes.Whatever helps you stick to the diet. Although lower GI will help with hunger on lower calories and generally be healthier (more fibre,vits and mins...

    carb cycling and HST

    I dont think you'll get noticible difference which ever carb cycling approach you take. I always say go the easiest route first. I like TP's approach although it doesn't sit well with schedule so I went back to a zone approach. i think the main 'rule' to follow is to place your carb meals around...

    Zone

    Hi Ernie, I guess I am the resident Zoner here. I have used it for well over 5 years now. I still use it simply because of the appetite suppression and because it works for me. Plus the Doc is very pleased with my blood. The 'athlete' program requires atleast 1 gram per pound lbm of protein...

    Questioning HST Methods

    5% of 5rm is the basic rule of thumb in deciding the size of increments to use. Or, as Bryan prefers, 10-20 pounds for legs, 5-10 pounds for upper body. The research suggests between 2.5-5% from memory. Less than that, the tissue may not 'recognise' the change in load making the repeated bout...

    diet stuff

    Might want to try Blade's ideas that he posted in the thread on 'John Beradi'. Protein and fats are eaten thru the day with bulk of carbs eaten around workout.

    Where'd you get your username?

    On the thinkmuscle board I commented that I hope I had not reached my genetic potential at 145 pds (after years of Heavy Duty/SS/HIT and not growing). Someone said I must be the Keebler Elf of HST. Thought is was funny. I don't even know what the hell that is!

    My first HST program please give me your ideas

    Only problem I see is potential low back pain from squats/sldl's. It would be wise to alternate with leg press/leg curl.
