Oh sweet!!!

I am like you and don't do deads. Simple shrugs are more than enough. Let the weight hang all the way down and squeeze all the way up with a hold at the top and they will grow. Also try hitting them from the rear, i use cables for this, works nicely! Try seated shrugs to really help you not...

From is everything with squats. Stick your butt out liek you are getting a rectal exam at the bottom and you shoudl notice a huge difference. Concentrate more on keep ing your form thru the entire ROM and it will work wonders.

Yeah i figured i would start my maxes today (15's), then again on monday (10's) and then wednesday (5's) and then start it up the 19th so i will have 11 days off, sufficient according to the plan and good for me as well, kinda worn down lately. Sound good? I will also read into the routine...

Ok that makes sense. I am gonna see how I feel after week 4 and see where I am at physically. I have a buddy who never hits his bi's directly and has sworn by this for some time now and the SOB has bigger guns than me so I can see how it makes sense! This place is great for help, I appreciate...

Thanks for the help bro, I appreciate it a lot. This HST thing is not just as easy as lifting a lot of weight. As I get older and get more injuries and stuff this scientific approach is just calling my name! I am chomping at the bit to get it started but next week is my maxes and then the week...

Ok I found the books, I have a lot fo reading to do. Also is that book by Charles Ridgely worth the $20 bucks? I would think with all this info I wouldn't need it right? Thanks again!!!

Very nice, ok during the 5's drop all iso's all together huh? Wow that goes agaisnt everything I have ever doen but hell I am not agaisnt it. I am gonna look for that book you said, if I cant find it you might be getting a PM........ Thanks for the warm welcome!!! I look forward to sticking...

Ok I found a PDF file in here all on FAQ's so I will read that over and hopefully it will answer all of my questions! Thanks for your help so far though!

Ok skip my response in the other thread, LOL!!!

No problem, I have been researching my butt off over here and am gonna take next week to get my maxes leik they suggest and take the following week off and then go for it. Let me ask you a coupdl of easy questions? 1-How much do you increase the weight by to reach your maxes? i.e. Say for...

I know this is an old thread but I am with him on this one. I basically knwo what i can do for 15, 10, 5 cause I have been doing a HIT program that hits them simliarly (12-15, 6-10, 1-5) can I just take these numbers since I know close enough what i can do? Also hwo do you know how much of you...

Also a little confused at this whole calulator thing. Maybe you can help me there more. For incline i did 360 for 4 reps the other day so on the 1RM calc. that would be 393 for 1RM. Now is there another calculator to tell me what my 5, 10, & 15's are? I see the main calculator but that is...

Ok wow, that is intersting. This HST thing is all new to me so I am still learning as we go. I am so excited to try it and get it going but I want to do it right you know. Ok so on oyur 5's you drop Bis & Tris all together huh? They get enough stimulation from back & chest/delts......

Hey all I am new to the forum and I have a question on the sets as we all do in the beginning. I am totaly a rookie to this HST so any and all advice is helpful. I have recently turned 30 and have hit a major plateau in my lifting as of late. I can not find a routine that I like or one that has...
