Cool, ill try it out. Thanks

I think i understand. Thanks again.

Thanks Dan, very interesting. I will certainly buy the myotape, not so sure if I understand what you mean with the mirror/grease pen, though. Exactly where should I measure my wasit? Is it considered right below the belly button, or right over it? Thanks again for the advice.

Pierre, how strict is your diet? Do you have any cheat meals? I try to keep it strict Mon-Fri so I can slack off a little on the weekends. Also, what kind of cardio do you do? I walk on an incline for 30 minutes; speed 2.8 and the incline at 10.0. I get a good sweat. I would like to run...

drpierre, thats what i am experiencing. My clothes do fit looser but the scale does not reflect a change in weight. Recently my coworker also mentioned that I lost weight. This is why I orginally asked if it were possible that i was gaining muscle mass but burning body fat. Thanks for the post...

I do not know how to measure my body fat, I bought that caliper thing but that is worthless. Do you know how to?

Another question, if you are using HST to try and cut up is it wise to take a week off after every cycle? I remember reading you should go right into the 2nd cycle, but i think i can use a week off to rest.

Thanks, but could it be that I am actually burning body fat but also adding muscle mass, which is why the scale is not reflecting any weight loss? That is ideally what I am trying to do. I just dont measure my body fat. Thanks for the help.

Hi all In the first week of January I started my HST cycle and I have been dieting/doing cardio with it consistently. The first few weeks I was losing weight but over the last 4 weeks or so I havent lost anything. I actually gained .5 of a pound. This is the same diet i have used in the past...

dkm, I am just planning on sticking with the same diet on my rest week and not working out or doing cardio.. I will only work out on Monday to retake my maxes... Like you said inthe PM, i doubt one week rest will have a huge effect in the long run. Thanks

My diet is pretty strict already. Meal 1: egg whites and whole wheat pancake Meal 2: Walnuts Meal 3: Spinach wrap with Grilled Chicken, red peppers, tomatoes, and a little balsalmic dressing. I only eat half of the wrap though. Meal 4: I eat the other half of the wrap, but just the inside...

What I was planning on doing is, after If finish my first cycle the last workout is on a Friday. So I would go back to the gym that monday and retake my maxes, then take the rest of the week off and start the 2nd cycle that following Monday. But this doesnt seem like a very good idea, right?

Why is SDing even for a week detrimental?

- I am going to do drop sets this week. How much should I decrease the weight to do the drop sets. I am thinking about 30 pounds for the compounds and maybe 10 for the iso's? - I read in another thread that if you use HST to cut up there is no need to SD for two weeks after each cycle. My...

The stars would have to be aligned for those body scales to get a correct measurement of your BF%. The calipers are also pretty worthless. I lost a ton of weight, my waistline went down 4 inches and the caliper kept giving me the same BF% results and believe me i had a lot of fat around my...

Cool, it wouldnt even be a good idea to take maybe a week off?

If you are using HST to try and cut up should you still use drop sets for the post 5's? Also, is it true you do not have to SD after your first cycle if you are looking to get cut up?

Hi guys, I am currently attempting to lose weight and get more cut up with the HST workouts. So I thought I'd post my diet and my HST workout plan (again, so you guys dont have to go back in this thread and find it) so you guys can critique it and tell me if i am on the right track to getting...

Why no cardio during SD? Isnt low intensity cardio ok?
