    Single set vs. multiple sets

    In the HST articles this article reports a test done on previously trained subjects, which conclude that doing a single set is just as good a strength gainer as multiple sets are. Does anyone know if the same goes for hypertrophy? Any article will be much appreciated.. Especially if the case...

    Skipping the 15s

    Yep.. Your poll sure looks ugly - but I took it anyway I always do 15's - but only for a single week. I like the pump they provide and I like toying with the rep speeds. I don't believe that it would be harmful in any way to skip the 15's - as long as you warm up properly there shouldn't be...

    Protein shakes and nausea

    Have you ever tried adding milk instead of water? I HATE shakes made on water - gotta have milk! And in addition to BoSox's questions is it the taste or is it just a feeling that comes after you've gulped down the shake?

    Hammer Curls: Enough for biceps?

    Here is what Mel Siff wrote on the subject (which is very interesting reading!): "Is There A Biceps Curl? The apparently simple biceps curl, although one of the trademarks of bodybuilding, remains poorly understood by gymnasium users and scientists alike. Even EMG (electromyographic)...

    Creatine ingestion AFTER workout

    Great stuff, Daniel!! I'm doing fine. I've been off the HST program for a while - I needed a change, so I've experimentet with some dual factor and some traditional split training. My strength has increased in almost every exercise, but my bodymass hasn't. Therefore I'm currently SD'ing...

    Creatine ingestion AFTER workout

    Bryan, I remember that you've always suggested that creatine was to be taken pre-workout, and I remember something about an experiment done on a stationary bike, but I can't seem to find the study.. Does my memory serve me correct? And can you guide me to some studies showing creatine uptake...

    Hey Baby A ;) Thanx a bunch for the reply. I the meantime I've also come to the conclusion that Glutamine is more or less useless for goals of hypertrophy. Catch you later

    When doing chins the back of you hands should be facing you.. If your palms are facing you, the motion/exercise is called pull-ups.

    Cybex machines -- ugh

    Care to elaborate that thought? I too am using explosive movements during the concentric fase - and I remeber having read somewhere that when using >70% of your 1RM, the muscle fibres really don't care about the speed of the concentric part of the movement.. The outcome will be the same...

    Rep Maxes

    Welcome to the board, Chitownrat First of all you need to get your butt down to the gym and start throwing those weights around. The most precise way to establish the RMs is to find them with trial and error. Some use calculators - but these are not that accurate for the high rep ranges...

    WSB question: alternating exercises

    This is true. But the WSB boys also state, that a week of deconditioning/deloading is needed every 6-8 weeks in order to not reach a plateau or put too much strain on the cns. The fun part in switcing exercises frequently is going back to the same exercise done 4-5 weeks earlier and you're able...
