The results are as kilograms as I told you before. So it means I have done 15 reps with ~418 lbs on squat. I have always had very strong legs. ;) As you see from the image attached, I have also some size on my tights. :D p.s. The 15 rep set was done without knee wraps. :D

All results are in kilograms. If you want pounds divide the numbers with 0.4536 Squat Begin Feb/2005: 140 x 15, 160 x 10, 190 x 5 Results from last perioid: 190 x 15, 210 x10, 230 x 5 Deadlift Feb/2005: 140 x 15, 155 x 10, 190 x 5 Now: 180 x15, 200 x 10, 240 x 5 Bench feb/2005: 90 x 15, 105 x...

I have been training with HST since february. I didn't take any measurements before I started but I wasn't in good shape and carried 108 kilograms on 173 cm frame. I had also around one years pause on weight training before January and when I decided to "make a comeback" and put my...

From Jyväskyä, Finland.

I was thinking of that too. I think that I have to probably add some rows on the program as you suggested. I have noticed before that I almost get better results on the deadlift if I don't do it on every training session. With HST I did it in every second training session with good results...

Well, I have been training now for over 10 years and I know that I have problems with recovery when using high volume programs. Of course my body adapts to the higher volume but most probably if I would train with original 5x5 I would end up overtrained very fast. I also added speed training...

Thanks for excellent answer. Something like this I expected. I let you know the results I had with the program.

7--> Ok, I found a forum where nobody really wants to answer anything. Based on my experience I can be 100% sure that standard 5x5 is not optimal for me even without trying it first. I really don't need to try every single program in standard form in order to make a conclusion that program...

I have to say that you are good writer and some how you earned my respect with you answer. Still, I don't agree with you on everything. I think that many of the programs needs to be modified even if you haven't tried them before. I at least know that I am not very used to train wiht high...

I am not going to argue with an 18 year old boy on this. I have been training for over 10 years now and spent thousands of hours studying about training, nutrition, physiology etc. I know quite well what works for me and what doesn't If you think that any training is perfect in original form...

Well, that was a comment. Propably not something I expected but comment anyway. Have you ever thought that we are individuals with different genetics and we might get better results if we modify programs more suitable for us. Next you tell me to do HST as is and not do any modifications on...

Hi, I have now been training with HST since february '05 and got exellent results. I modified or "fine tuned" the HST program a little bit and changed the negatives from the last weeks to more strength oriented program where I do 3 reps on the squat, deadlifts and bench. Now I have...
