    Fat Instead of Muscle when Trying to Gain Mass

    I just finished UD2 about 3 weeks ago and it was my first time doing it. Actually, most of my lifts went up in everything, especially on the tension and power workouts. I did it for about 6 weeks, dropped some bodyweight but lifts went up. I think, reading through the forums there, most would...

    Fat Instead of Muscle when Trying to Gain Mass

    This was my first impression also of your diet, cantbulk. I try to keep it simple. Lots of people ask what I eat and I've come up with a short and sweet answer. If if doesn't come from an animal, the ground, or a tree, I don't eat it. I would definitely stay away from packaged/processed foods as...

    Cool, thanks for all the info. and suggestions. I just couldn't come to terms psychologically with only weight training 3x/week :) I start this morning. Can't wait!

    Regular Eating

    I have found that once you get into a routine of eating every few hours or so, it's gets a bit easier to do so as you go along. For instance, when I first started doing it, I felt like I was eating all the time. Now, it's just like clockwork and I find myself getting hungry as feeding time...

    Alright, so I'll just stick with the presses for shoulders now. My calves respond to more volume as well, like when I throw some weight on the seated calf and do a set of 100's with little breaks in between, say at 50 and 75. With my program that I posted, I was trying to stick with the...

    Fat Instead of Muscle when Trying to Gain Mass

    Agreed...my main sources of carbs come from old fashioned oats, brown rice, sweet potatoes, whole wheat pasta, fruit, and veggies. One way to cycle carbs so that you're not feeling "carb depleted", too restricted on carbs and to keep cravings at bay is something like this. Day 1: 1.5...

    Fat Instead of Muscle when Trying to Gain Mass

    Such is the problem for many males. You're not alone in this regard. For males, problem areas include the midsection and lower back whereas females tend to hold more fat in the hips and thighs. One of the ways that you might be able to bulk a bit cleaner is cycle your carbs throughout the week...

    Initial Muscle LOSS on HST

    I am not an expert on HST but do have a good deal of experience in training. I'll be starting my first HST cycle this week. If your current workload doing HST is greater than before you started, you may need to adjust your caloric intake. So, if you are doing more exercise now...

    Intro: New to board/HST

    Hello Everyone, New to the board and to HST. Rather than be a lurker, I've decided to post and interact and I'm looking forward to learning from you, as well as, maybe even helping out others a bit when I can. I've been training for about 8 years now and had been doing the "one body...
