I think the best way to implement the pullups would be to wait until the 5's to do them. In the meantime you could use the weight assisted machine for dips and pullups that a lot of gym's have now. If you don't have access to that machine, you could either do lat pulldowns or dumbell or machine...

Try it out, you might not need any curling exercises especially if you are doing heavy chins with your palms facing you. But my personal experiences have been that doing curling movements helps my biceps grow at a faster rate. Well, my advise would be to try and spread out the amount of work in...

Wow that sounds really gay! thehamma

I would be interested to see some studies that indicate how a specific muscle group becomes "anabolic" by more frequent stimuli in comparison to less frequently stimulated muscles. This is an interesting topic, I'm disappointed that more people don't have any thoughts on this...

I would omit the leg curl in the am, the deadlift will be more than enough work for your hamstrings, if you feel necessary to do an isolation I think leg extension is a better choice.  Possibly a better time to do them(the leg curl) is in the pm after your squats.  Also, Im confused if and are...

How long have you been training full body 3 times a week? You have to give any exercise regimine some time to take effect. I don't know what your present level of conditioning is currently but possibly the problem is that you are "out of shape". Allow yourself to adapt to the exercise...

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered plenty of times, so for those that are sensitive about these kind of questions, relax and answer another post instead. Currently, I have just finished my first HST cycle, and in the midst of single factor training recommended by some members on...

Fausto Congrats- let me know where the party is. Looking forward to seeing you around the forum, you're always entertaining.(and informative) thehamma

Its only your 15rm at the end of the 2 week block. From their you work backwords incrementing either 5 or 10 lbs each workout, you can repeat some if you desire.(that will tell you when to put the weight down.) If you are finding it difficult not training to failure you are either not...

What does this mean?  In laymen terms, not mad scientist terms. Also, what is e-c coupling? thehamma

say what?! thehamma

thats true, but most of them require a minimum of 5-7 years of being drug free.  How foolproof the lie detector and drug test are is questionable though.  Another thing is that I believe in most of the competitions ephedra, and prohormones are admissable so it really isn't all that drug free...

There are a lot of "natural bodybuilding competitions" that do drug test and lie detector tests. I personally, know of a couple of guys who enter them. One guy who I was training with that was a natural pro competed at 6' 187lbs ripped out of his mind. There used to be a magazine...

I dont see the sense in waiting until the end of the cycle to start doing iso's. If anything the weights aren't going to be heavy enought to stimulate growth in your arms with just compounds in the beginning. If there is any time to omit the iso's I would do it at the end of the cycle when the...

Personally, I would definitely do both of the chins and the bentovers.  I think it is beneficial to do both.  Both exercises together will add mass to your entire upperbody from forearms,biceps,traps,rear delts,and most of all your lats.  I think I would try out the routine in its entirety if...

I'm doin the identical routine as Joe G posted. This is my first week and so far I like it. Im doing to arm work HST style. All I have to say is that if you are not used to the deadlifts dont eat anything before you train, and start conservatively because my back, hamstrings, calves,etc. are...

I was just reading this in the ebook thehamma

I've done something similar to what you have and have achieved great results. I like to repeat my weights for isolation exercises sometimes. What you can do to compensate for the smaller increments which are not possible is to slow down the rep speed, and make it more difficult. What I'll do is...

well that was very helpful and thorough(sp) thanks thehamma

what is and thanks thehamma
