I am also getting up there in years so I've done some research on TRT. I checked out Andrew Shippen's book 'The Testosterone Syndrome' and highly recommend it. Dr. Shippen says estrogen must be checked as well as total testosterone and free testosterone (which the body can use). He said...

Thanks for your input everyone.

Hi, I'm assuming most of the people on this forum have been lifting weights for awhile. I understand after a period of time it is difficult to gain muscle. So, should a person new to lifting begin training 3 times a week, gradually adding more reps and weight and then after 6 months or so...

I am going to do drop-sets instead of negatives. Do I do them to failure and on the 2nd set only? Thanks

Thanks Kate and everyone else. I'm finally getting it!

But in Bryan's articles on HST he says to only do 1 set or 2 at the most and it doesn't vary whether you're doing 5's, 10's or 15's.

I think the best multi-vitamin/antioxidant on the market is called Synergy by NSI. They have a men's multiple for $40 a month at Vitacost.com which has about everything your body could need.

Hi, I notice on some threads people were talking about doing as many as 4 sets while doing their 5's. I thought with HST you were only supposed to do 1 or at most 2 sets? I'm confused. Thanks. P.S. Also, how long should you pause after doing a warm up set before doing a work set? Thanks again.

How much time should I wait between a warm-up set and a work-set? Thanks.

Hi Dianabol, Thanks for responding. It was in an article by Bryan Haycock. Here's the link: http://www.thinkmuscle.com/articles/haycock/hst-01.htm

Hi, I noticed in Bryan's instructions he said after doing your first cycle of 15's, 10's,5's, and negatives and sd you can skip the 15's when starting your next cycle. Has anyone skipped the 15's and began with the 10's for their 2nd cycle? Any positive or negative responses? Thanks

Thank you.

Hi, If I 'm in the middle of a workout, say I'm on my 10's and I get ill or have to miss a weeks worth of workouts where do I start when I come back the following week, where I left of or at the beginning of the series with the 15's? Thanks.

Thanks Calkid.
