Thanks for the reminder. 15's got pretty close to failure at the end of 2 weeks so I think I have a good sense of my maxes there. Honestly not a big fan of such high reps. I wonder if anyone has tried either a smaller range like 12-8-6 or 12-8-4 instead of 15-10-5. Is the science so specific...

Had to make a switch to end my bulking cycle. My measurements grew to 38 waist, and 40 at navel with no changes elsewhere. I don't think I was mentally prepared to add a bulk cycle on top of the previous cycle which was supposed to end at the New Year. My BF still measured at 12.5%. Maybe I'm...

I use a myotape body measure tape. I think it's pretty decent. My size 38 pants were getting real loose at 186 lbs and I was starting to be able to put 36's back on (after 5 years or so). I don't think I'll see 34's ever again because I want to be able to bulk when I want. If I can stay in 36's...

Third HST workout went well. Honestly, I'm kinda feeling fat. Did my monthly fat caliper measurements and it actually showed a drop in BF to 12.1%. Not really believing it. Waist still measures 37.5 but pants are feeling tighter and when I bend over I feel compression at stomach similar to when...

I use the "myfitnesspal" app to log all meals and calories burned. For weight lifting I just enter 15 minutes under "cardio" regardless of how much I lift. Equals about 65 calories, I always enter the same total just to be consistent. It's just a way to make sure I don't eat too little to either...

The first two workouts went well. 15's were tough but doable. I was pretty close on my guesstimates of how much weight to use. Had to swap some lifts due to equipment availability but I did do all the lifts including the isolation exercises. Lifting time was 45-50 minutes. I am really liking it...

I've been training consistently for about 18 months after many years of on and off training. I'm 42 years old. Currently I'm 5'7, 192 lbs. at 12.5% body fat as measured by calipers. From October 2013 to October 2014 I went from 219 lbs. at over 20% BF to 186 at 12%. I mostly trained with a...
