The vacuum exercise seems interesting, but does it really work ? if it does, why woulndt it be used much today as compared to before?

i was working 4x a week, but instead of adding workouts i just completed my hst cycle sooner... Should i repeat weights instead of finishing sooner ?

Hi thanks, i dont have a bad diet, its just that i think i need to eat like maybe 100-200 more cals everyday, yeah i was talking about pulldowns hehe sorry, no im not from south africa, im in canada, i just googled and found that img !

Hi, this is my 3rd hst cycle. Ive had moderate gains on the past 2 cycles but i think it has more to do with my diet than anything else. I do fullbody workouts 3 or 4 times per week. these are my exercise selection for this cycle, i do them in the following order : Leg/squat press ( like this )...

so... i still dont really know what i should do... and my cycle starts next monday..

Hmm this is getting a bit complicated... help ! hehe Ill do whatever i have to , i just need to know what to do and how to do it... My 5rm for barbell bicep curls is 70lbs. My 5rm for inclined dumbell seated curls is 30lbs. I do 1 set in 15s, 2 sets in 10s, 3 sets in 5s , ( and repeat my 5rm...

Thanks yall. my gym only has 5lbs increases for dumbbells. I already do chins and rows in my workout, but i wanted to grow my arms, they arent growing as fast as the rest of my body, so i do all the compound movements but add 1 bicep isolation exercise, 1 tricep isolation exercise and 1...

I know that inclined bicep curls are one of the best exercises for your biceps, but i can only lift 30lbs dumbells on each hand ( my right arm could lift 35 but not my left one ). Because of this, throughout my cycle i am limited in the increases i can make, lets say id start with 10lbs (which...

I never feel refreshed either hehehe, So if the body does most of its repairs while we sleep, sleeping alot is going to increase recovery BUT NOT hypertrophy ? If you sleep less its just going to take longer to repair. ( not talking about fatigue the day after which in turns will result in...

If im alone it takes 1h30-1h40 but with a friend it takes a little more time but its much more enjoyable. Also the reason i have so many excercise is that i read somewhere in here that if your body can handle it, do it, more work = more gains AS LONG as your body can handle it and you dont go...

Hi, i was wondering how important sleep is? Are muscles only growing while you sleep ? ( therefore the more you sleep the more you grow ? ) I get on average between 6-7 hours of sleep during the week and 8 hours(or more) on weekends. Is that enough? i guess i could try to get 1 hours extra of...

why do you say 2 hours in the gym is wasted time ? I go to the gym with a friend, we do a full body workout, with 13-16 exercises + 8min of bike. I take 1-2min rest between sets... sometimes a little more during the 5s if i want to be able to finish the sets, and im in the 5s right now and it...

i know they hit the biceps, but i was wondering if they could be considered a bicep exercises, how about on a seated pullup/chinup cable machine ?

So, what youre telling me, is that, protein+carbs in your workout drink can only be good ? then, wouldnt it be good for everyone to have a workout drink ( a little protein + carbs + water ) in addition to the pre/post shakes :confused:

bump

are chin up considered a bicep workout as well as lats workout ? with palms facing each other , or palms facing yourself.

if you put whey in your workout drink, isnt this going to make your post workout drink less effective ?

also, what is best to do after the 2 weeks of 5s, i want to do dropsets and negatives, do i do both at the same time or i do negatives the first week then dropsets ?

Hi, im going to be in my 2 weeks negatives real soon, but i dont know how i could do negatives on most of my exercises... this is my routine : leg press , seated calf raises , leg curls Bench press , seated machine Flys Back rows , lat pulldowns ( chinups ) Shoulder raises Barbell bicep curls...

so whats better for calves ? alot of reps? or heavier weights... i was doing seated calf raise following normal hst rules... its hard during the 5s to keep a good form and do a full range of movement
