    A New Idea About Hst?

    If you understood how HST works you wouldn't be asking if you could just do 1 rep at sub maximal weights

    A New Idea About Hst?

    You do have to eat more to gain strength. Being on a diet and being on a surplus is a difference of 10kg on my 5 rep bench press for example. There is an immediate difference. I also don't think you fully understand hst. You should go back to the main website and read it several times until you...

    A New Idea About Hst?

    I understand what you are trying to say Mikael. But even though Bryan has suggested that the reps aren't important and it's all about the weight you still have to work the muscle with the weight you have sufficiently (which is usually close to failure) to make the adaptation. The point is 1 rep...

    That is true what you said Mick. It was much more beneficial to me to be able to eat myself full. Especially during my last meal. I can't sleep on an empty stomach. Try reading leangains.com. If you take away one thing it's that you don't need to eat 6 meals a day to have success. One of my...

    Hello adpowah. The biorhythm diet really helped me. I'm down to 181lb but still not lean. However I decided to do a clean bulk for a few cycles to get some strength back. I'd been dieting that long I have lost alot of strength. When I switch to a cut again i'll be coming at it from a much...

    Regarding your reply above. You can stick to the 3 day per week. But my previous reply about IIFYM will help you with everything else. You can eat what you want but stick to the protein, carb, and fat ratio that IIFYM will give you.

    I was referring to the machines you use for back. If you can do pull ups instead do those. Also bent over barbel row is a great exercise for back For me I can't do them on the high rep ranges so I so them when I get to the 5 rep block

    I would swap your machine pull down exercises to pull ups when it comes to the 5 rep ranges. I also believe standing barbell press to be one of the safest shoulder exercises but don't do it if it makes you uncomfortable. When it comes to diet. 2 tools have helped me greatly and are essential to...

    I would also say swap as many of your machine exercises as you can to free weights.

    Cutting with HST

    Hi Leonardo, Rihad. I'm not sure why Leonardo. I mean with my strength levels I would have expected to be 190lb lean at 6ft but the fact I can probably get down to the 170's shows I don't have the muscle to strength ratio that I should. I'm pretty positive my hormones are fine. I had them...

    Cutting with HST

    Hi Mick. I probably could drop a set of BP. But I only do 3 when in 5's. Anything other than 5's and it's 1 to 2 exercises. I don't feel like i'm over doing it with what I'm doing. When I'm in a gaining phase I will do 2 sets of deads. I also use a different protocol on deads and squats. I...

    Cutting with HST

    Hi Mick. Over the 4 months I spent bulking with HST I basically got back my strength from the diet I was on before. Now I am dieting again my strength levels have gone back to where they were before the bulk. Regarding not having the muscle to show it. For example if we look at Leonardo on...

    Cutting with HST

    I do pick one jester. I wanted to get bigger then leaner. I bulked for 4 months with HST and gained 18lb's of mostly fat. Now I am losing that weight I gained I'm no bigger than I was before I did the bulk. The ultimate goal is to build big muscles but I don't know where to go from here once I...

    Cutting with HST

    Regarding how far I'm going. I'm not to sure but it looks like I could lose another 20 pounds. I'll have to address the other problem I have of not being able to build muscle then. I could bench 100kg for 10 reps before my diet yet still don't seem to carry the muscle weight that shows it

    Cutting with HST

    Hi Mick. Sounds like you had good success on the biorhythm diet. Especially if you could eat more calories than usual while not putting on weight. I read his article many times to understand everything and the science he talks about makes alot of sense. I am actually still using IF with the...

    Cutting with HST

    I haven't used calipers Mick. I did buy some but just can't seem to get the readings right. It's always different. I can't seem to pinch next to the belly button. IF could be a problem. The strange thing is though I used IF with 2000 cals a day to get down to 182 pounds in 2013. I was losing a...
