    high reps vs. low reps in arms?

    actually, my effects were not simply a temperary pump. they appeared fuller all around the clock. my guess is the increase in glycogen storage, not blood flow. any vets have any answers?

    How long does it REALLY take to get big?

    yeah it says my arms can be 18". i would be thrilled with that! i dont think it is too accurate, as my ankles are sort of out of proportion with the rest of me. keep in mind though, if you are to put another inch or two on your arms, it would probably weigh very little in comparison to...

    what would be changed in HST if using AAS?

    what changes would be made to an hst program to get the most benefit while on aas? i am assuming one would workout more often and possibly extend the 10s and 5s since your RM would probably change as the AAS took effect.

    Number of Sets or Number of Exercises

    many do (including me) 15s 1 set 10s 2 sets 5s 3 sets all per exercise. towards the end of the 10s and 5s make sure you get the full amount of reps for the first set of each exercise. the sets after the first do not have to be completed in full. they should be stopped a 1-2 reps prior to failure.

    split bulk routine

    i decided to mainly do compounds. i am going with isolations only on workout B to give a little more rest to the smaller muscles. i figure they will still get hit by the compounds anyhow.

    incline dumbbell vs incline barbbell for mass

    this is turning into a great thread... I think no matter what you decide to use, you must have variety. I stuck to flat bb bench as one of my core exercises for years and am having better results than ever not using it. Since I started HSt I have been changing between inclinde bb, incline db...
