thanks bro, i will trust THE MAN on this one

You wrote that? :O I've been studying and reviewing that book for a long time now. I couldn't find that specifically tho

Hi, I wanted you guys opinion on something real quick. I finished my bulk and it went pretty well. I now plan to do a cut, but I was wondering if the two week SD is really necessary in this context. I already did one week. I just love training I ask because from what I understeand a SD is...

Word of warning. I streched out a cut too much because I was greedy and wanted to lose fat fast and I ended up losing more muscle than fat.

Hello guys, I am very happy to report that 1) I got the 1 Kg wrist bands so now I can do a better progression. 2) After finishing my third cycle (bulk) I went to the nutritionist to measure myself again and I am currently at 23% BF, during the bulk I got 3 Kgs of beautiful new muscle, and...

As others have said, measurement is only as good as the instrument used. Consider finding a nutitionist who will do you for some bucks or alternatively get a calliper and learn to self-measure (though a professional will always be the best option). Even with a nutitionist, there is always a...

Have you gained weight? Have you measured if you lost BF?

The cut is not for building muscle. If you are losing strenght that is a bad sign. But don't worry. Do a bulk cycle, try to regain your strength or increase it. Then figure out what to do after that. I also suggest measuring your BF% so you can see how you are progressing. Remember that both...

One of the problems I had when doing the cut is that I didn't feel as energetic in the gym and elsewhere, but maybe I was cutting too many calories (consuming around 1600, hoping to lose 0.5 kgs per week). how are you feeling and how much a eyou cutting

That's some good fucking advice

Guys, guys, I appreciate the advice regarding the measurement and the possible explanation for my cutting failure, but its sort of deviating from my main point. What can I do if my gym only has 2.5 kgs (5 lbs) increments?

Both times the nutritionist used normal skinfold measurements using the ISAK method

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I started at 30% BF at 60-62 kgs a bulk cycle. Surprisingly, I lost BF % while doing a bulk and ended at 63-64 with 25%. Then, I did a cut and that's when I went from 64 Kgs 25% BF to 58 Kgs 25% BF. Both times were measured by the same nutritionist using the...

A nutritionist measured my BF before and after the cut cycle. It showed I lost as much fat as muscle, thus maintaining my %. My guess is that I prolonged it too much and that maybe it was mostly fat loss at first but then I began losing muscle. This reasoning comes from my intuition that you...

Awesome job dude, you are an inspiration. It's good to know that HST also works on the long term and my gains with the first cycle will continue. I love the progressive overload system because unlike other programs that leave me exhausted, HST makes me feel like an energetic beast throughout my...

Hey Leonardo, 1) I know, I think my theory for flopping the cut was that I overdid it: I extended it too much and went from 64 kgs to 58 (the lowest I've ever weighted). Maybe I was losing mostly fat until like 60 kgs and then the rest was muscle loss. Also on my last few weeks I had a death...

Nah, I meant that I was really happy going from 30 to 25 but I actually did that by bulking (at that point it was easy to make more muscle than fat). The problem was that I went overboard with the cut and ended up losing more muscle than fat (thus being at around the same BF% but a lot weaker)...

Except that if your training or your dieting is off, then you may end up losing muscle in a deficit and not fat

OP: Remember that working out is half the equation, are you eating clean and getting nuff sleep? Other than that, yeah just check the chapter on the e-book about cutting. This is true, more or less. Cardio is useful for some things but it isn't for losing fat, which is what most people use it...

Hello folk, Kitad here with my first post. I've been doin HST for around 5 months now and I can happily report that, after doing a bulk and a cut cycle, I've gone from 30% BF to arond 25%ish. Could have gone even better, I think, but I way overdid the cut and I ended up losing muscle. Well, you...
