    Fausto, I know it's a little off topic, but could you explain the way you're doing the romanian deads. If you do a search on the net, you'll see a thousands ways of doing it. And what the heck are you calling "Count Dracula"? Thanks in advance. I'll keep reading your posts man!

    Where'd you get your username?

    They used to call me "Mr Muscles" where I work. But they knew I didn't like it. So there's a guy there whom we use to call "Zeus" since he's the king of computers there. So one day he said to me: "Since I'm Zeus and, in here your the king of muscles, we're gonna call you...

    what gym do you belong to?

    I train home. I have my gym whit a Power Rack, Leg press/Hack squat machine and a multi-station cable machine (that I use only for pulldowns and seated cable rows). Love to train home 'cause I do what I have to do when I have to do it. (and I can put my own music too!)

    Training legs only whit HST... results

    Semajes, I forgot to mention that I was alternating. I was doing squats OR leg pressses. Then, SLDL OR leg curl. That means I was doing only 3 exercices per workout. And, by the way, I was training more than 3 times a week. I was training every two days. Another thing, I am convinced that the 3...

    I mean 235lbs Thanks Bob. By the way, I know it's not very impressive. But I'm not a big guy either. (When I started training, my weight was 125lbs, with clothes on!!!!) But the important thing is: I keep growing!

    Jester, I always measure 3 days after my last workout. I've been training for 4 years (in fact, it will be 4 years on march 2006). I'm 39 years old. About strength, at the end of my first HST cycle, my 5reps max was 730lbs on leg press and 190 with squats. Now, at the end of my last (second)...

    Totally discouraged by HST

    I think that the problem of many is that they keep seeing HST as a program. But it's not. Max-OT is a program. Heavy Duty is a program. HST is "PRINCIPLES"!!!! So I think that, among those who are not having results with HST, yes there may be a bad choice of exercices, or a lack in...

    Totally discouraged by HST

    From my short experience (4 years), and I know a lot of guys like are like me, I was relying too much on supplements to get my protein intakes high. So for my last cycle, I cut on these, using protein shakes only as pre and post training sessions. And I started eating like an elephant (but only...

    Training legs only whit HST... results

    I've been reading this site for 7 months now and I remember some posts about guys who were wondering if it's worth training legs.... So I did a complete HST cycle training my legs only. I've been thinking about doing this for a year or so (always thought my legs were too small.....) but I was...

    DBs for those with long limbs?

    Shwaym, I think we're a little off topic talking about the Power Hooks here. But if you're interested, you can Email me and I'll take the time to explain to you how it works in detail. But I really think you should give it a try. About the topic you started (sorry 'bout my bad english but I'll...
