    A weird double split , HST style?

    Only used for a chaos that is totally out of control, more like the biblical First Day @ so on. The regular chaos is: ^haoso (pronunciation: gaosso) : ^ is on h but not possible here. Outside endurance people there are very few people in the gym that focus on endurance strength. Even the...

    A weird double split , HST style?

    I'm Dutch & speak indeed Esperanto, the int'l language of peace & friendship (invented in the 1880s & published in 1887 in former Russia, now Poland), so nearly 120 yrs old). At the time French & German was dominant in Europe , so 60% of the vocabulary is Latin/French based, some...

    A weird double split , HST style?

    Hmmzzz.. I went off the HST program as it was too hard mentally to not go to failure. By training in a double split every other day I can go (almost) to failure and not overtrain, at least not until I overdid in volume and started cutting again. Aaron F really is everywhere.. I run into him...

    A weird double split , HST style?

    So, I've been rescheduling the entire thing. legs & lower back: 1 set less for squat lunge, do a sumo style DL & narrow stance leg press on low rep days & RDL plus wide stance leg press on high rep days. Formerly: 20 sets plus 4 pump sets, now 15 sets plus 4 pumpsets upper back...

    A weird double split , HST style?

    I've been doing my own versions of HST for quite a while. I'd like to know your thoughts on my latest project? So , here I was.. reading a remark about my training method: why don't you do block training? You can't train for endurance and strength at the same time. Since I had been reading about...

    Where'd you get your username?

    I speak Esperanto, the int'l language of peace & friendship. In Esperanto, someone who speaks the language is an "Esperantisto". Female version : Esperantistino. Don't know why I ignored the forum for such a long time..while I didn't post much here, I've kept devoted to HST style...

    The Ultimate Diet version 2.0

    These are my thoughts exactly.. and actually I asked on Lyle's board how to combine HST with a ketodiet or his UD2. Now I'm back on HST, I find it a lot harder to be low-carbing. Should I adapt HST to the diet or vice versa? Espi

    The Ultimate Diet version 2.0

    I have the ketogenic diet book and plan to buy the Ultimate Diet book as well. It seems to be on sale already, but there were some probs with setting up the 'sales'. I'm very curious... By the way, I'm now in my 2nd cycle of HST, after having stopped the first one after the 4th week when I went...

    Keto or Atkins, and HST

    Yes, I really felt glycogen-depleted today (2nd HST wo, with 2x15 reps, also a few 20-15 rep sets as I didn't increase weight).. I typically don't have carbs for breakfast since I cycle to the gym and want to burn fat that way. I am using yohimbine, which is why not having an insulin spike is...

    Keto or Atkins, and HST

    I'd recommend TKD (daily mini-carb up after WO).. HST is too intense to really work well with CKD (only weekend refeed). Refeeds made me fat even when I tried to control myself. I'm now more into the Paleolithic Diet/Protein Power approach and have substantially increased my intake of low-carb...

    taking a break from dieting?

    To be more specific, I'm on a TKD-diet = eat carbs during/after workout/bike rides with a once-a-week junk/refeed day. CKD didn't work for me.. at first I lost weight, but it's not compatible with intensive cardio (did 2 spinning classes/wk). I really like low-carbing as it saves me from carb...

    taking a break from dieting?

    It's been 7 months now that I've been dieting off and on in a low-carb way. Off is for periods of travel when I couldn't be very strict or as in the past 6 weeks when I was cycling major distances and had to rely on carbs to give me energy. Actually I've done a 600K trip on May 24-25 (in 38 hrs...

    Carbups and refeeds

    Hi Blade Here's Espi (known as Fietser Ivana at the keto forum) Indeed, it's calories in- vs. calories out whichever way you cut it when you want to lose weight. HOWEVER, it is a lot easier to diet when on a low-carb diet than on a moderate carb diet as your body simply NEEDS its' protein...
