B.S. radar's up!
<div></div><div id="QUOTEHEAD">QUOTE</div><div id="QUOTE">It's been proven that a single workout can create a prolonged muscle-building "anabolic environment" effect in the targeted cells (that is, increased T and improved protein synthesis) that can last anywhere from 24 to 48 hours—even longer if you've significantly damaged the muscle cells. That is, using dumbbells and barbells to perform such lifts as bench presses, squats, deadlifts, shoulder presses, and other basic, compound movements.</div>
Trus so far...simplified...but true...no different from what HST advocates!
<div></div><div id="QUOTEHEAD">QUOTE</div><div id="QUOTE">The most advanced training method to prime your body for the "perfect" anabolic environment can be achieved by following the guidelines of a recently published study found in the Journal of Applied Physiology, which revealed a particular workout resulted in a 67% increase in T and an astonishing 25-fold increase in growth hormone (GH, another effective hormone). To maximize your body's natural hormonal response, the study used a 10-set, 10-repetition (with 70% of 1-rep maximum) single exercise lifting schedule, with three-minute rest intervals. We will follow a slight modification of this.</div>
Biased opinion! Other protocols may be producing as much...it is like taking one verse in the bible and claiming that is the "holy grail", objectiveness is the key here...at least that is how we operate!
<div></div><div id="QUOTEHEAD">QUOTE</div><div id="QUOTE">To maximize the body's ability to produce increased amounts of T, I'd suggest you follow this program for no more than 21 days (or three weeks). Then go back to your "normal" training routine (and diet) for two to three weeks, and then follow the MHRT for another cycle of 21 days. And repeat this again (for three 21-day cycles in total). </div>
Start raising eyebrows!
<div></div><div id="QUOTEHEAD">QUOTE</div><div id="QUOTE">After two or three rounds of MHRT, T should be surging in your system; however, due to the increased stress this training can put on your body, it's best not to follow MHRT more than three or four times a year, at most. Otherwise, you risk overtraining and possibly impairing your body's ability to repair itself.</div>
Should is not a very scientific word when claiming this is THE training program.
THe rest is not untrue, although if done correctly one can train 6x week some of us have done it here and had soime good gains.
The program?...Bah...That's all I'll say...10 sets of 10, of course you won't be able to do much more.
May work for a while but HST has a much better and complete struvcture to it, it incorporates three different rep ranges, and ends with a heavy load strength type rep range that can be pushed as far as possible without burnout...provided one listen to signs of overtraining.
Scientific muscle has a thread on multiple reps high volume that seems to produce good gains but 10 x 10 sounds too much like German Volume Training...to me that is overdoing it 5 x 5 produces very good results and is safer IMO.
That is my review for what its worth!
