My understanding is that this study is about strength increases; not so much, if at all, about hypertrophy. It's not a comparison of HST with Undulating Periodization.

Hi Aaron_F, How would you rate this approach to strength training with other types of routines, like Max-OT or, say, WSB? Thanks.

Hi Fausto, Thank you very much for your kind words and advice. I intend to knock down this vice very soon--sounds like a good job for during SD. Cheers.

Hi guys, Thanks for the info; and Fausto, thanks for sharing about the smoking. You're right, it is a tough one to deal with--I've struggled with it many times. Until now, I haven't had much opportunity to talk with other lifters that have before and after accounts of the effects of smoking on...

Hi Fausto, Thanks for the info--very helpful since we have the same vice (I'm still struggling to kick this one). My experience seems nearly identical with yours, especially the sinus problems. Say, how do you intend to induce better lung capacity? Cheers.

Hi Fausto, First, congrats on kicking one of the most difficult vices known to man! Can you go into greater detail on the evidence which led you to conclude that smoking was really interferring with your muscle growth? I'd really like to know more, if it's OK with you. Thanks for sharing...

Well, guys, I don't think Vince is going to give us a summary of his ideas. I took his advice and searched through his previous threads on this forum, and found that about two years ago, mikeynov wrote: "On the other hand, vince's position seems obscured by page-long posts and rambling on...

Well, this is surprising.  I'm honestly asking for your latest, most up-to-date training advice, and now you don't want to share. After all the threads you've posted in and all the debating with everyone here, I would have thought you'd jump at the chance to step up to the plate ...

Hi Vince, Can you go ahead and summarize your theory on hypertrophy right here? That'll save me a bunch of time not having to browse through several threads. I'd really like to see a list of the things you think I should do in order to maximize my gains. As it stands right now, I cannot seem...

Hi Vince, Please forgive me if you've done this already, but can you summarize your "method" in straightforward terms? That'll make it easier to consider your method without browsing through several different multi-page theads. Thanks much.

Great post, O & G!!! It's really great to read a summarizing post by a lifting master, such as yourself. Cheers.

I see what you're saying. On the flip side, I don't think "theists" should be automatically considered foolish or poor in science, which is often the case in today's universities...

Well, put in those words, I think we just said the same thing.

Funny thing; I stumbled into this threading thinking it was about Dual Factor Hypertrophy ... Well, being a master of science in the area of theoretical physics, I can honestly say that I have yet to encounter any solid evidence that suggests there is no Creator. I don't think I ever will. How...

Hi vicious, Thank you for all that you have been contributing to this board, and to HST. Just to be certain on my side, would you say that this is a result of not performing higher-rep sets at least part of the time? In another thread you mentioned adding pulses for the arms after the sets of...

Hi Dood, Thanks much for taking a second look at this problem. I absolutely agree with you that there must be another pulley that's not in the picture, which results in the overall 2:1 ratio. That's a very cool web site, by the way.

Hmmmmm, that's not the way I remember it. :confused: As I recall, the total force on the foot lever (or any other lever, for that matter) is divided amoung the number of cables that support the force. We could just forget about the pulleys for a moment and imagine that the cables are fastened...

Hey, thanks dkm. I was just logging on to post up my lastest thoughts on this. :D At any rate, notice that the leg press attachment includes three pulleys with four cable lengths. This quadruples the force required to push the leg press lever. Put another way: if the cable tension is 100 lbs...

Okay, this device seems to suggest that multiple pulleys CAN be used to ratio up the effective weight. This advertisement suggests to me that I can load 210 lbs on the stack and then leg press 420 lbs., hence the 2:1 ratio. You guys agree? It's been a long time since I've done pulley...

Hey dark_master, that's sweet!!! I've thrown together a cheap version of this by using the seat and rail on a rower and a dipping belt--still experimenting, though. Since there's a limit to the weight the upright can handle, we definitely need to ratio things to diminish the needed weight on...
