Ok, so I decided against the T-bol and just used some M1T I had lying around. The dosage was 10mg/day for my two weeks of 10's. I started adjusting my training on my second workout by using a combination of adding a few more sets OR adding more reps. For example, If I did three sets I kept...
I'm planning on running t-bol with my next HST cycle for 4 weeks. I was thinking of starting in the first week of 10's and running it thru the last week of 5's. Post cycle I would still be using 2 more weeks of 5's. Does this sound right? I am trying to harden up a bit and maybe gain a few more...
I finished up my first HST cycle and am in the end of my first week of SD. My starting weight Octobar 16th was 162 lbs and I have been holding steady @ 176 lbs for the past week. Not too bad for a first cycle. I was eating 3100 calories daily....310 protein/280 carbs/85 fat. I put almost 2...
I'm up 10 lbs. I'm loving this routine. I never imagined that I would feel so full and have the muscle density that I do from working out like this. I start my 5's next week followed by two weeks of negs and I can't wait to see what kind of results I get by the end of week 8. I'm eating 3100...
Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm headed to the gym for my second workout. Hopefully this will go better. Actually bench press was the only movement that suffered. All the other lifts were right on target. I'm not too sore, my legs were the most sore but today they seem ok.
Robefc...Thanks...
Guys
Thanks for all the input so far. I guess I had a few things confused. I'll touch on all points mentioned.
This is my first HST cycle ever. I am following the example in the article. This has me doing bench press only three times during the 2 week rep range. The other three workouts use...
I started 15s today and was surprised to find that I had difficulty performing incline bench press for 2 sets of 15 at a weight which is 20 lbs less than my 15RM.
My 15 RM is 175 so I started with 155. I was only planning on using bench press for 3 of the six workouts (the other three use...

I think that in the future I will be switching gyms. When I made the decision to start HST, I made the decision to use the equipment I have used for the past year, since I didn't want to be fooling with finding RMS, working a new routine, AND trying to get used to a new gym. I think that...
Wow, I never though about using a different rep scheme. I'm really starting to like this HST program. It seems very versatile and it always seems like there is a workaround when standard protocol doesn't fit. This is much unlike other routines I have used, I think I just have to get used to...
Guys
I have a herniated disc between L4 and L5. I have always squatted using a lighter than average weight because of the strain it puts on my lower back. When I tested this morning for my 10RM on squats I was reminded why I don't usually push the limits on this one. What do you suggest I do. I...
