    Is HST really the best?

    You can search it on the forum. Its just a way of performing a rep where u do half reps (top half of the motion to sticking point) and then do the other half (lower half to sticking point). THere are ways to manipulate this also.

    DOMS not caused by lactic acid buildup

    hrmm... i think i read this whole thread incorrectly. I was just trying to say that muscle damage can happen without DOMS or too much DOMS to indicate that it happens. But Louno's question was if DOMS came from the lactic acid buildup. mmm not so sure about that. Epsilon , i think you've got it...

    Is HST really the best?

    my routine was pretty simple, 15's started off with incline bench, lat pulldown, ab work, and leg press. went into the 10's with the same idea until the end of the 10's when i brought in the isolations, (arnold press, tri ext, bicep curl). extended into just doing eccentric movements for 3...

    DOMS not caused by lactic acid buildup

    or in simpler terms. DOMS is one of many indicators of muscle growth. Growth doesn't necessarily need to be justified with DOMS. IF doms then growth is correct. If growth then doms is incorrect.(fallacy) haha some rhetoric for ya pzhang

    Is HST really the best?

    i've been able to gain 40 lbs within a semester. HST principles are the best. There are ways to tweak it and other programs that still follow HST principles that give good results, maybe better results, maybe worse. It really depends on your conditioning and what works for your body. I've tried...

    Eating Clean vs Eating 'dirty'

    i think its marginal low/high gi. but the important thing is carb/protein/fat timing. i stick with low gi most of the time because it just seems healthier to me. U shuld just try it for yourself and see what fits you best. I'm sure a month or so on either low/high gi wouldn't hinder your gains...

    anything on ProMagnon 25 ?

    Hey I've heard theres a replacement for halodrol which is much safer called promagnon25. Anything on this? Reviews say that its freakin amazing, and plus it doesn't aromatize into estrogen. Any PCT needed with this? any ideas whether its worth it or not? thanks for the help pzhang

    15-10-5 reduce weight on extra sets?

    Dan, sorry this reply has taken a while. I thought the word around was that it was alright not being able to hit the target reps on the second or third sets because the weight is high enough that the first set causes most of the microtrauma. I think i have hypertrophy mixed up with just...

    15-10-5 reduce weight on extra sets?

    I would stay with the same weights and hith the target reps for the first set. and then do however many you think is appropriate for the sets afterwards. So in this case, you would be able to do 200 for 5 reps. then 200 for 3. then 200 for 1 maybe. I just don't like lowering the load during the...

    Integrating POF and HST?

    do a search on POF/HST. Theres been a discussion about it already. its doable and a very nice little mix up with HST. Dkm gave me some very good advice on how to go about implementing it.

    normal natural test levels

    NHA stack is amazing. I gained 45 lbs within a semester in college with lots o calories. gained a bit of fat thats noticeable, but the muscle gains were just through the roof. I don't know if the test results from it but I definately can vouch that the NHA stack worked for me

    clustering and metabolic stress

    o you meant metabolic fatigue. woops. You could always just do 15s, or a burnset after your clustering, thats perfectly fine too. If that's too much, you could always try half reps(a little bit taken from BLOWreps) and just work on the stretch ROM of the exercise, which i think also causes...

    clustering and metabolic stress

    If the load is high enough then yes it's enough stress. But that is all subject when "the load is enough" so I would not really worry about it, cluster when you need to, and don't when you don't, just keep progressing the weight. I only cluster at the end of my 10s and 5s. Negatives...

    Diet

    I think cardio is a waste of time and precious calories during bulking. I would just take advantage of that time and weight train frequently instead of cardio. pzhang

    nutting out frequency

    Colby, do you think you'll be able to handle 8 weeks of that? somewhere on the board there was a long discussion that leanning out works well with high freq training, but the best way to get those results were to avoid CNS fatigue while keeping the freq high and medium volume, which means it'd...

    nutting out frequency

    yes the more frequent you train the better results you would get from the higher anabolic state. But what you have to be careful is calories. With such high freq traininger 12-15x a week( I've tried it) it is REALLY hard to eat enough to grow. I found a sweet spot of 5x week with around 3500cals...

    Best Way to Increase Tension

    This subject is way out of my league, but I thought that when the load gets so high(ie with HST during the later 5's and negatives) that you would not have to worry about ROM because there are so many more muscle fibers recruited to lift that weight. And to answer Suby's question for me at...
