That's alot like what I did instead of negs my 1st cycle. I had good results with it. I'm doing negatives this time for sure, though.

I agree with Tot. Feel free to do as many sets as necessary for you to grow. Remember, HST is not about sets and reps, it is a method of training. As for pullovers, I have never used them. I'm tossing around the idea of adding them in my 5s as a Giant Set

For my 2nd (current) HST cycle, I decided to throw out iso arm work. 3wks into this cycle and the measurements on my arms are still moving up. I do plan on adding a set of incline DB curls during the 5s, though.

No need to do the 15s if you dont want to. Just do 2wks of 12s, 10s, or whatever you want instead of 15s. I personally use 12s with great success.

I tried Max-OT before(about 6 months ago) my first HST cycle. I did gain strength, but little mass to speak of. My elbows were really irritated as well. My hands were always falling "asleep" at night. Major overuse injury. Anyhoo, I too was skeptical about HST. In fact, I posted...

Admin moved your post here because it fits better in General, since it is related to HST training specifically. I'm just guessing, though. As to your question, I don't know about Borris. I'd love to know the answer too!

The truth is out there...

Gratz! With your positive and helpful attitude, you deserve it.

The calculator spit out 210lbs for me. That means I could walk around at 6'5" 225 and still be pretty lean. Bet that'd give me over 17" arms. I'd be VERY happy with the impressive shadow I would cast at that point.  

People at work call me a "pussy." Is that good?

Welcome to the forums! Remember, HST is not about how many sets and reps. It is about sticking to the principles of HST. You don't have to do the exact # of sets on the sample schedule. If you are doing a M/W/F schedule, anything around 18 sets or less per workout would be fine. I usually do 2...

Why do we bodybuild? Now that's a great question. And it ties into people's reaction to muscle as well because there are some who assume why we do it. There are alot of reasons why I love the Iron Game. It's certainly more than big muscles. It's the self-control, regimen, and constant grind...

I'd stick with the compounds as long as your arms are growing.

While I agree that compounds are the way to go, sometimes I would like to hear people who have built their 18" arms without isos.

Wrap your mind around this: You are at a gym. You are there to lift weights. Squats, deadlifts, weighted dips, and weighted chins are the 'bread and butter' of any serious workout. Yet, when I perform these exercises, I get stared at by other male 'weightlifters'...AT THE FREAKING GYM!!!! Do you...

The common idea amongst the experts here is that a MWF am/pm split is the best. Thats only 8 hrs between workouts, obviously less than 48. The difference is that the am/pm split usually is around 10 sets total, 2x/day, instead of 20 sets 1x/day. Is it safe to say that frequency and volume...

Clear! We got a pulse! After Bob mentioned this post in another thread today, I decided to use the underutilized and mysterious search button. Yes, it took a couple tries, but I found this post and performed mouth-to-mouth, cpr, and hit it with the paddles a few times. I'm the type of person...

I also didn't know it was you, Tot! You are the star of your very own avatar! On a side note: I friggn' love this forum! It never ceases to amaze me how kind, helpful, and knowlegeable the "regulars" are. Props to you all! Also, I am starting my 2nd cycle tomorrow after a 14 day SD...

Actually, the more frequency, the better. As long as your volume is in check, you're good to go. Just listen to your body and adjust mid-cycle if need be. Remember, HST is not a program!
