thanks,yeah my weight at the moment is 220lb@12%,im looking to get down to 10% at the same weight so i still got some gaining to do,and some losing
.
its becoming difficult to get any returns these days.having said that i reckon another year and ill have it down.
i always did high volume work in the past so it wasnt that difficult to go back to it.

monday
chest
flat bench dumbell 3x10@120lb
incline bench dumbell 3x10@120lb
decline bench dumbell 3 x10@120lb
bi's
chins 3x10@220lb(bw)
hammers dumbell 3x10@50lb
i wouldnt say i was taking it easy on chest but did all the same weight as i wanted to keep it simple and strict.
trouble is after 120lb dumbells there is only one weight heavier and thats 140lb so i use these for 5's,as i couldnt do 10s at that weight.
this is another reason for leaving the gym im at now.

Damn, you are a strong ox. Sets of 10 doing 400 lb. deadlifts is impressive. As are your other lifts.

Any particular reason you are hitting 1 bodypart a week?

ok thanks guys,im begining to reach my peak now as far as strength goes,i dont see it going much higher and to behonest thats not the reason i train,its a good side effect though
.
well joe,i think coming from a high volume background,its always been difficult for me to "swallow" doing one set per bp and i was always adding other exercises into the mix.as i felt i needed the extra attention and the workouts became gruling.
once the gains began to slow from hst a standard split seemed like something i wanted to return to,but taking with me progressive load and high/low reps.as i felt these were one of the most important aspects of hst.
im gonna try hst again soon with some tweaks here and there,also i might give maxstim another go.i just needed to mix it up for a while and come back to hst with a fresh start and a plan.

a huge collared dove flew into the gym,and then straight into the window
.luckily it didnt break its neck.i managed to grab it and hoist it out of the gym and back onto a tree,where it sat in a dase,eventually flying off.that was my good deed for the day

Wish I had some test!</div>
im honoured to be motivation for such a seasoned vet lol.reading your posts you seem to be a busy guy,so i can fully appreciate what your saying,the motivation/need is there but the time and energy arent?
i just feel like im getting my act together lately,things are coming into place,finding out what works best.plus ive been training close to failure alot more than previous cycles.its increased my strength dramatically on some lifts.
ey i could never go on test again,for one i like my hair,which doesnt like dht very much,secondly i nearly wore the wife out completely lol.and thirdly i had to buy new clothes!
i wouldnt mind going on it when i retire,hrt perhaps.
