I would just do myo reps or max stim for most of those. Less chance of dying.

This is funny. Found some measurements I took in 2005: Biceps: 14" Forearm: 12" Chest: 38.5" Thigh: 22.5" Calf: 15" Didn't record weight but I'm assuming this was after bulking for the first while and so I was probably somewhere between 160 to 180 lbs. Today: Biceps: 17.5" (worst body part)...

Tbh the leg curls myoreps style suck worse...

Went ahead and swapped squats out for leg press. At least the leg press is usually unoccupied. Did a bunch of warm ups then topped out at 685 x 10 x 2. Didn't put on knee sleeves til the last set. Pretty sure I could handle a lot more weight if I used the damn sleeves Calf raise 585 x 15 x 3...

Yeah some of us are cursed/blessed with wide hips, thick waist, big core area in general... great for strong lifts but not so great for the classic v-shape.

Good question. I'm trying to figure out the same thing. It's hard to find any exercises that you can load enough weight to make it not an endurance thing.

Definitely thinking of the long term is important. Many people change things up way too frequently. Most of those people find themselves looking basically basically the same year in and year out. Ive seen that a lot over the years. That's why with any big changes to programming, I always give it...

Kinda tired today so I just did 45 minutes on the elliptical

Does the ab wheel help with core strength or is it more for core endurance?

The big thing for me is that I've been able to sustain gains, albeit a lot slower as time progresses, for years. Which is exactly what HST promises and seems to be delivering on.

I gained like 20-30 lbs my first year, if I recall correctly. Obviously newbie gains.

I'm basically following the myo-reps template (with some small changes) which is more or less an optimization or derivative of HST anyway. So in a nutshell, heavier work that is progressed normally alongside lighter work done myo-reps style (that is also progressed) - however, I only do the...

Today: Squat - 225 x 10, 315 x 5, 405 x 3, 445 x 8 x 3 Leg Press - 495 x 15 x 2 Leg Ext - 255 x 25 +5, 5, 5, 5, 5 Leg Curl - 255 x 25 +5, 5, 5, 5, 5 Calf Raise (using leg press) - 585 x 15 x 2 Weighted Situp/Crunch machine - 140 x 20 x 2 I'm getting kind of tired of doing squats and we only...

I did just basic HST for a long time. Pretty sure I used the Bryan cookie cutter routine for my first few cycles and followed the eating for size article for diet. Then did 5x5 for a while, then other HST variants like DC. But always followed HST principles no matter what I was doing. I do...

I can't tell if that damn picture worked or not. My internet is down and my cell service is shit out here. Anyway, it was a pic of my scale showing that I'm 253 lbs right now.

120 then around 140 when I finally started HST. A little heavier than that currently: l'm not even counting calories anymore, too lazy for that. I do count protein though but other than that, just eat based on hunger. Seems to be working for me, I'm not really getting fat gains like I used to...

Thanks but you know how it is. All I see is that 120 lb dude from when I was in my 20s, what I need to improve on still, etc. But least my upper arms have finally caught up to my calves for size.

Yeah still making gains. That picture does make me look a bit bigger than I really am though. Here's another. I was going to Photoshop the phone in my hand into a shake weight but didn't get around to it yet.

You've got a great base. Keep at it.

Damn those are some solid deads
