I haven't been on here in years (still HSTing though) And yes Bryan I'm still alive. Anyway I tried to get on to the forum from the HST site and that link didn't work. I finally figured out how to get on here through thinkmuscle.com. Anyway just a heads up to the admin. I tried it from...

You are touching on a few issues here. SD Length. SD should be between 9 and 14 days. Much less than 9 you are just resting (not a bad thing) But resting is not deconditioning. Over 14 days you will start loosing mass strength etc. As with all this suff it is a trade off. It is not about...

Well 9 days is the beginning of SD (about a 9 day min) If I were you I would start over but only do like 2 days of 15s, and maybe even shorten the 10s... then prolong the post 5s. I would not go back and do a full 15. That said I would not just jump back into the 5s either. Bob

Nothing wrong with same routine twice per day. Nothing wrong with 4 days a week. You will have to eat like a horse working out that much and you will risk over training. 2 x 3 days a week should be more than enough.

I'd go for the gym with the squat rack. It sounds like a better gym. A little more money. But if lifting is an important part of you life then it would be more than worth it.

Incline curls are good --you get a better stretch at the bottom. (you will lift less weight cuz they are difficult) Might want to add a static hold --just get as much weight as possilbe on a bar in a squat rack and just lift it and hold it as long as possible. Your palms need to be awyay from...

thanks Dan.. Makes sense. And I did not mean to sighn that Bod... rather Bob... I won't bed Bod for a few more cycles. roberto

Ok what is in-roading? fausto et. al. ? Bod

no problem You also have warm up sets. And burn sets. In my previous answer I was only counting work sets. Bob

Nice on the Bf%. 3 sets all the time is tough. One thing to do is focus on total reps not sets. (this fits with the "clustering" way of thinking). -- yet another new way to think!! So If you did one set on the 15s, two in the tens, and three in the 5s your "total reps&quot...

I am a recovering over trainer. Yeah it is hard to go from thinking failure is good. To the thinking of HST. Think this way time under tension is good. I think once you do a full cycle you may understand it better. You will see the whole process. If you are just itching for more work -- why not...

sounds like you should be a pro bodybuilder. In school I found working out helped calm me down. Being a little "beat up" after a good workout would allow me to concentrate. If lifting does not do it for you try running. My workouts are always better when I am busy.... I guess my...

shwaym, Whats a log?? First I assume your choice of exercizes is correct. I mean that you are hitting all the muscle groups that you want to hit. That is a personal choice. Depends on where you are, and what you want. I guess the big idea is that the post 5s should be tuffer than the 5s. So...

you can self spot on many lifts --dips, weighted chins, dumbell curls, calf raises, and / or cluster -- just do 2 reps with more weight. But do 5 sets :)

G, You should do "negatives"  This is where you lift more weight than you can lift.  You will need a spotter for this.  Lift a weight you can only lift by yourself 2x.  But you will lift it 5x.  On the last 3 reps the spotter will help you lift it....You will be focusing on the...

There is another thing I don't think we covered yet. People ask me to lift things for them. All the time. At work, at home, for my parents, my parents neighbors, a lady even stoped me on the street and had me move this big terra cotta pot for her. Couches, Refrigerators, Crates, pots...

Good point Daniel, Regarding the heavy cycle (negs, post 5's etc) and CNS.  One thing I do is take a few day break in the middle of my negs....like a 4 day break.   This allows me to extend them to 3 weeks or a little more. The first time I did this it was by accident. I missed a few days...

Lol, Shwaym  et al, As I said before, I am writing you guys, but also covering some basic stuff, just for any new guys who might be reading this.  So don’t be offended by the basics.  You obviously are not a beginner. Pulse stretching, and the reflex response are dangerous  in two ways.  First...

Lol, Good point. Let me respond as if a beginner were reading it – not you - but there are new recruits on here. I too have read the Vicious stuff over and over again. Printed it out and underlined it –the whole bit. I find it difficult to digest and fascinating. Though there is a lot of...
