i can't speak for everybody else.. but i'm on the tail end of the third cycle and i've had great gains in size and strength.. maybe it's just me but i don't see how you can have great gains in size w/o the gains in strenght..

you really shouldn't just eliminate the low weights in the workout because they aren't there to help you get big.. the 15s are basically to get you to progressivly work up to the heavier weights and to get your muscles accustomed to the load you are going to put on them.. i've never tried...

don't make it a point to keep to a strict method of a certain amount of increment for small and a certain amount of increment for larger.. my weights change from 35 for decline flies up to 415 for leg press.. i do about a 25 lb increment for the presses but only 5 with the flies.. my rule of...

you could just save the webpage and then it becomes downloadable :D

hey everybody.. i thought i'd just send a link to the workout log that i use for my hst cycles.. i made it in an excel file with a good size to be able to put in my pocket when i go to the gym.. just put your exercises in the form.. i do all the numbers before the beginning of a cycle then print...

i don't usually work out with a spotter either, so instead of doing another 2 weeks of 5s i like to do 2 weeks of dropsets with my 5rms.. there is no better way for you to get pumped and feel the burn to me than a good set of dropsets..

i don't think there would be an equation for that one.. if anything it would probably be a proportion to your regular flat benches, but i'm sure your best bet would be to find your RMs for the reps.. you could probably work it into your current workout to find them then when you start your next...

didn't know a good place to post this, but you guys are always good with questions.. i have a slight case of tendonitis above my elbow, right were my tricep joins, and just wanted to know if anybody else has a similar case and what they do if it acts up.. like icing up afterwards or wrapping it...

just about to start cycle number 3.. i love it overall because after doing the heavier weights my tendonitis in my arm starts to act up and the SD settles it down for just about the whole next cycle.. in about 2 more cycles i'll probably be in the best shape of my life, and still have room to grow

for me it really depends on the exercise.. if i'm doing a set where i only use like 50 lbs i'll have to do no more than five percent or else i wouldn't really feel much until the last 2 workouts every other week.. on larger ones though, i do like to do like 10 percent or so.. i don't really mind...

you sure you did your measurements correctly? i've found it is awfully hard to actually lose measurable amounts in only two weeks.. i do a SD of 2 weeks after my 8 week cycle, and even then i don't think i've found a loss.. one question is whether you measured the same time both times? the...

i don't know where you are from, but depending on the weather for me that usually tells me how much i have to drink.. when it's really dry air outside i feel that i get dehydrated more often than not.. also the further i get along in my cycle (like at the 5s) the more water i need to consume to...

if you are going that low.. the typical way to fix it would be to repeat weights again, kinda like how you do to avoid zig zag.. typically you probably only want to go in about 5 percent increments too, so i would probably just do 5 lb increments for you like 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75..

thanks o&g, just wanted to make sure that 50 percent wasn't too low..

ok i know it is listed somewhere, but using the search page for some reason i can't find what i'm looking for.. i just wanted to know what the minimum effective weight for the first workouts on each level would be.. like if i am doing 45 lbs at my max on the last day, how far can i stretch that...

yeah bighorn i think i'm gonna do the same thing next cycle.. the first week of 15s really seemed to do nothing for me except waste time.. keep us posted when you're done with your cycle about if you felt any different w/o doing both weeks
