    Getting Started Again..

    Back on the train. I decided to refrain from weight lifting for a period of time. I was training for the half marathon I done and just didn't have any desire in the gym. I did do one HST run and I'm currently weighing 166 or so. The last HST cycle wasn't with proper intent so lets see what...

    Getting Started Again..

    Do you plan on getting bigger than 168? I always thought I'd get the abs and then keep them but I think I've realised I prefer to have a lot more flexibility in my life. Really don't want to have to miss out on social occasions etc each week just for the sake of vanity.

    Getting Started Again..

    OK so here is the plan. I'm going to spend the next 9 days (including today) in a deficit. I want to get just below 160 and get rid of all the bloat off the last couple of weeks. Depending on how I feel I might extend this another week but I highly doubt it. After that I'm going straight into a...

    Getting Started Again..

    Mick, yes I have been lifting during this period, but not consistently. My muscle are considerably smaller than what they used to be. I used to fill out L/XL shirts and I now only just fill out a M. I'd just like to know more out of convenience than anything else. But thinking about it, I...

    Starting Over From Scratch.

    Sci, how have you found muscle growth? Has muscle memory worked well for you? I've just got the start of my journal up there. Will be starting next Monday! The early sessions of the 15's always seem so boring

    Getting Started Again..

    OK so I used to do HST some time ago and stopped for some reason or another. As a bit background, I was 225 lbs or more at my heaviest at 5 foot 10. Quite a bit of this was fat; I'd say I was about 25-30% bodyfat or so. I dieted for my wedding and got to like 175 and then within the year was...

    Starting Over From Scratch.

    Hey mate. I'm in the same boat as you. Coming off the end of a cut and can't decide whether to continue until the abs are in properly or bulk as I feel so small. I'll start a progress thread tomorrow with photos and maybe you could give me your opinion? I used to do HST a while ago and had...

    As a side note, has anyone moved over to bodyweight exercises? Really want to incorporate them along side my HST cycles - not for any other reason than I think its pretty cool. Would this hinder my progress on HST?

    Done my first workout on 5's today. Was pretty easy to be honest. On my phone ATM so will update lifts when on the computer. I've not eaten at all lately as I've had an operation and had no appetite. Got on the scales this morning and was 181. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Squat: 90kg Rom dead: 95kg Calf raises: 80kg Bench: 70kg Rows: 55kg Military Press: 40kg Ben, Mick is right I'm currently cutting. Another 7-8 weeks should do the trick and then I'll put myself in a nice surplus for the best part of a year. Quick question. With the right program and...

    Hi everyone, I've been a member for a while but I'm using this as a log to keep myself motivated and to ask any questions should I come stuck. I got married in the middle of the year and was in alright shape - 175lbs @ roughly 12-15% body fat. Since then I've let myself go - a mixture of...
