An excellent exposition of thinking in principles. (Sorry I'm an Objectivist philosophy major )

Routine is attached, but requires some explanation (ignore the traditional HST structure): I workout daily using the prescribed weights. I warmup by performing a few reps with the original weight, then incrementing up the ladder until I reach the prescribed weight. I do 1 set per exercise...

This is actually exactly what I do, except I cluster to 20 reps, and it's so much easier psychologically, let alone physiologically.

How have your hypertrophic results been compared to barbells?

I made a post regarding PowerBlocks here: PowerBlocks I cross-posted it here to get more input

I'm thinking about purchasing a pair of PowerBlocks: http://www.powerblock.com/frame.html I know that barbells are superior for hypertrophy, but these PowerBlocks are just so dang convenient. Any thoughts?

Can you post a direct link of exactly what you bought? Also, if anybody has any other recommendations, please do LMK ASAP. Thanks

The Ultimate Strength Chart

So is sushi inherently "dangerous" to eat? Or is it a "special case?" I eat it all the time...

I asked this question hypothetically - not actually doing this. I'm wondering what percentage of growth actually comes from pre- & post- workout nutrition vs. total caloric intake.

I focus on pre- & post- workout nutrition, but not on total caloric intake. In other words, I take HS:CRE, PRIME+ & DRIVE+, but otherwise only eat when I'm hungry. Will I still see significant growth, or is it impossible to grow without a caloric surplus?

Try doing military presses. At the beginning of the movement, when you're forced to lean back, in order to rest the bar across your upper chest, you get a nice stretch in your abs.

What evidence does he cite to support this conclusion?

Best ... acceptance speech ... ever

Bryan, do you still plan on releasing new issues of the HS:Report & Think Muscle newsletters, or are they defunct?

Is this because you plan on writing a seperate book on HSN, or because there's not as much to write about HSN? If it's for the former reason, I'd much prefer one "bible" book on both HST & HSN, as opposed to two seperate books .

Will Hypertrophy-Specific Nutrition (diet, nutrition, supplements, etc.) be included in the HST book?

Does Prilepin's table apply to the repetition method as well as the max & dynamic effort methods?

Not necessarily. Many people (including myself) use the repetition method for endurance training. Even Westside uses the modified repetition method more for increasing work capacity.
