you think maintenance level cals should be good enough? I def. don't want to lose any muscle. And i'll probably only be doing the cardio on my last week of SD, so probably only 2 or 3 30min. sessions of treadmil or elliptical. Then i'm going to stop cardio all together until I hit a plateau on a...

ok, I did a search but I didn't find what I was looking for... so I'm on my last week (week 8) of HST and I'll start my SD on saturday Nov. 19 and stop Dec. 4. If you've seen my training schedule that I've posted on this forum then you would know that I do not train my legs or abs HST style...

well the week I start my SD, thanksgiving will be in the picture so I will be eating like a monster that's for sure. I guess i'll just eat at maintenance, hopefully that works out.

9--> i mean growth was minimal...would it be ok if I did 3 weeks of 10's then 3 weeks of 5's?

ok, so i got some good gains so far and i'll be doing a SD for 16 days beginning nov. 19 thru dec. 4. What's the best way to keep the gains during this SD? regards

i guess it's tough for everyone also...

ok, so my first HST routine I did the standard 15, 10, and 5. I found that the 15 rep range did nothing for me so I am modifying it to 10, 8, and 5. I'm having trouble making the weight increase more progressive, can someone help me out? I need to get the 8 rep range to fit in between the 10 and...

When I started my very first HST cycle I measured my arms and my chest. Both of my arms started at 14.5inches at the beginning of the 15 rep ranges and my chest measured at 39.5inches. At the end of the two week 15 rep ranges I measured again and both my arms went up to 14.7inches and my chest...

do you need to do the exercises in the same order the entire 8 weeks? regards

after reading a few threads to that link you gave me I decided to just go ahead and workout. So glad I did, todays workout was great, I just loved it, felt real good! cheers

ok, I posted a thread about sore training but today (wednesday) I feel like i'm too sore to workout at my best. Would it be ok to do my second and third HST sessions Thursday and saturday instead of wednesday and friday? Or will this mess things up somehow? Or is it better if I just workout...
