    your results with HST...

    First of all WOW the site has really changed since the last renovation good job admin.  Now onto my resaults, I have been training using HST for years and things are still going great.  I wanted to gain size on my arms this year and set a routine to do so, I was feeling pretty dissapointed about...

    Current HST program

    Well I have spent many hours reading about various aspects from the Vicious HST Pimp book and the sight. Probably read it 3 times the last few days as a refresher for this program, here it is (focus is on arms, specifically upper) Sorry if this is really long. Type - split upper/lower body...

    what age

    I'll be 20 this summer and buy then that will be my 5th year since I started wait lifting. No breaks except for when highly demanding sports took over my time and SD of coarse. I think I started following HST during the summer of 2002.

    Knees, Lowerback and wrist health

    Well just like the title I wish to have a few things cleared up with Knees, lowerback and wrist health. 1. I have a question regarding deadlifts. When I do my deads during the lighter reps I keep "picture perfect form" I've been told. But during the heavy reps this perfect straight...

    leg training

    No I did not mean with weights in the hands, but there is a weight vest out there if you were really interested in it. You can also use a parachute, down hill running (very slight decline), there are bands that will kind of shoot you out like a sling shot, and there is also the towing tires...

    leg training

    Ahh I do read incorrectly sprint not split. Well from what I can recall there was a thread awhile back about how soccer players have such large legs without weights. The answer was because when you go to break down (stop) there is such great force on your legs it is like doing negatives. So...

    leg training

    If I read your question correctly I do split training for my legs. I have been using an upper lower body split HST style for quiet some time now. It works great, maybe to great since I now want my upper body to get the same results even though I suppose they are proportionate. So here is what I...

    Vince Gironda's oldschool info

    I almost wasn’t going to post but the thought of squatting and deadlifting making your but freakishly big seems ridiculous to me. Now I have not been squatting and deadlifting for long maybe 3 years 2 for sure. Yes your legs and but grow really fast but that’s just the first step so does your...

    To the Cluster style HST'ers

    Sorry kind of in a hurry Ahh so this is very similar to what i did last cycle where you increase the amount of sets you do every rep range. I was unaware at the time that this is what it was called, I do do that often. Expecial with mainly compound routines. I'll have to read this post later.

    Value of Squatting

    Dood that is exactly how I do my smith machine squats with the feet out so I can go parallel. It really does feel as "natural" or safe as you can get on the smith. So doing something like that shouldnt have any long term negative effects it seems. As far as vacuums while I deadlift I...

    To the Cluster style HST'ers

I start off 15rm go to 12rm 10, 8, 5 then depends on what i feel like doing sometime another 5 but usually 3rm then maybe a week of negatives depending on how i feel or if i want to try and increase stregth maybe more at the lower weights. But as for 1...

    Value of Squatting

    Great topic I have been wanting to talk about this for some time. Lower back health - I keep hearing people talk about how everyone hurts their lower back and its a matter of time before i hurt mine (I like to try and not let that under my skin). I currently believe that by doing movement like...

    stregth ratio

    Well I try my best at being as balanced as I can. For example I have always tried to do equal amount for chest as for back then close to the same amount for upper and lower body. I figure with stretching to become more flexible and being as balanced as possible I should greatly help reduce...

    stregth ratio

    Marinating chicken and beef?

    I live off of spices, and hot sauces. Currently my faviorite hot sauce is Franks Red Hot sauce which goes great on chicked or anything else in the kitchen. As for marinades use olive oil, various vinegars, and herbs. Just throw what ever type of herbs you like in add some viniger and olive...

    Check Your Grip!

    HA I thaught I was the only one with that problem... I did notice a difference when I changed the grips but my bench is still to low for my liking. I'll only be happy when I can bench my body weight times 1.5 for a rep or to.

    Calves training specifics

    Bump what Blade just wrote. I changed from doing standing calf raises to using a hack squat machine which I would lay on my back and place feet up to work calf and have grown 1/2" easily. The sad thing is I have been using standing calf raises for a long time with minimum - no growth then...
