your body takes a few days to adjust. you have about 2-3 days of eating excess calories before your body makes a change in composition. (the noticable effects in change obviously take more than a few days) being so young you may need to eat more anyhow (if you are gaining). i think not eating...

back to back oral cycles will be horrible on your liver. do your organs a favor and read up some more before you mess with gear. especially something methylated!

joe, nice routine. i am thinking about shortening mine to something similar for my next cycle. what are you doing for frequency? 3 days a week? im thinking my next cycle will look like: mwf: bb incline bench wide grip weighted pull ups db shoulder press leg press calf raises tue,th,sat...

i tried finding this in the faq and searching, so sorry, as I am sure it has been posted before. how many sets are you suppose to do in the negatives? i am going to do my 2RM 1-2 reps, followed by 2-3 negative reps. how many sets though? 1? 2? 3? (not counting warm up sets obiviously)

good to know, thanks

aaahhh a drop set. thanks!

please define a metabolic set. just looking for ways to increase glycogen storage throughout the hst mini cycles. i think for now i am going to stick to what i am doing. ill report back how it worked for me in a couple of weeks.

good point. what about for bis?

so in the 5s do you do 3 sets of an exercise, doing one superset with another exercise immediately after the 3rd set? also, if you keep the weight the same and do a superset you would be dangerously flirting with failure.

yeah i like cgbp, but it hurts my wrists when i get to the heavier weights. i am assuming you do them as a super set at a low weight immediately following you last set of skulls?

legs tend to grow better in higher rep ranges anyway. most claim they grow best at 20 reps. this will allow you to greatly reduce the load. from my understanding leg extensions are harder on the knees than leg presses.

i wouldnt add another bicep exercise unless you plan on using steroids. the biceps get abused by the compound exercises as it is. the first thing i would look at is diet. are you eating enough where you are gaining? the rule of thumb is you need to gain 10lbs of lbm for 1inch on the arms. if...

jester, what is cgbp? it seems like you are doing break down sets. heavy weights to almost failure immediately followed by lighter weights almost to failure and repeat... correct? has this worked well for you? I am currently trying the following: super setting machine tri ext. and standing db...

bump. would anyone change anything above to maximize glycogen storage?

i am in the 5s and am using the following compounds: 3x a week mwf: Incline BB Bench Rows Leg Presses DB Shoulder Press Wide Grip Pulldowns (Leg raises for abs) i want to maximize glycogen storage in my arms and am curious what should be done to do so. in the past i noticed lighter weights...

i am eating enough (maybe a little too much) and am gaining. i just wanted to make sure i wasnt over doing it. why do additional sets if they are not helping right? more importantly, i wanted to make sure i wasnt hurting my gains by doing too much i guess it is different person to person, but i...

in another post i saw that boris's routine looks similar to: He is training 6 weeks on, one week (9 days) off. He does 15s, 10s and 5s, no negatives. He uses really heavy loads, and says that after 6 weeks everything is sore and that the off week is welcome. He also trains 6x/week - half-body...

so what do YOU recomend aaron?

i should have mentioned i go off of creatine during sd and start again for the begining of the hst cycle. that should acccount for roughly 5lbs

Omega_man, i have been lifting for about 4-6 years now (depending on when you start counting, as like many i have gotten more serious about it every year). i use to do the conventional each body part once a week broken up into 3-4 days of training. hst has produced better results than ANYTHING...
