    Glycogen Supercompensation Question

    Thank you but I'm still curious if intense exercise would accomplish the same goal of depletion? I have read that intense exercise will deplete glycogen stores, in about 20-30 minutes. So, do you think you could still supercompensate in the same manner.

    Glycogen Supercompensation Question

    Thanks a lot for the advice. I am going to connect with him. The whole super compensation protocol, has always had my attention and I hope to find some enlightenment on the subject.

    Glycogen Supercompensation Question

    First off, this will probably be more of a question for someone who is well versed in this protocol, as it applies to bodybuilding. Do you agree with the concept of supercompensation and if you do, here's my question. It's been said that if you deplete glycogen stores (in the muscle) that your...

    At 4% I should be at 150 but you also have to accept the fact that you might lose a little muscle in the process of going that low. I will be competing next July and I'm hoping that I can at least be 155-160 at 5%. I never really saw any difference between those two, 5-4% mark, so I don't think...

    Thank you very much for that, I will put that to use. I think I might try that for my bi and calf work, as well.

    Dup, Rpe And Hst

    You've definitely have my curiosity on this one. I always complain about how my triceps don't have near the muscularity that they should, considering, I do dips with 90 lbs strapped to me, for 3 sets of 12 reps. I've also tried higher reps with push down, skull crushers and kick backs but I...

    Monday hypertrophy 8 reps - bench, squat, deadlift and weighted pull-ups Wednesday power 1-3 reps - same as above Friday strength 5-6 reps - same as above Saturday bi, tri, shoulder, upper and middle traps and calf work. I do two working sets for each exercise but recently I've tried to...

    I'll have to think about that. Here's an update pic on my DUP/HST training. I've added some descent size but still have about ten pounds to go.

    I don't think I was but that doesn't mean that I won't try harder next year. I need a better video idea, something that makes me standout.

    My first cycle of HST...WOW

    There has been some awesome research done with trained athletes that advocates a closer approach to HST and DUP style of training. Not to say that, that routine won't yield benefits but I've lifted in that manner for years and hit more plateaus than I care to admit. Once I applied lower volume...

    My first cycle of HST...WOW

    I usually reframe from writing this type of post because it typically raises more arguments verses discussions, but here I go. Science has stated that they can not determine what actually causes muscle growth, mechanical stress (heavy lifting) or metabolic stress (higher rep range) but they...

    My first cycle of HST...WOW

    Are you referring to DC training?

    My first cycle of HST...WOW

    Here's the real mind bender. My muscles grew (by tape measure) when I was running HST and I was bulking. I then switched to DUP and my muscles shrank, just a little but I was still bulking. Could I really lose or gain size that quick, unless it was fluid retention (what we call sarcoplasmic...

    My first cycle of HST...WOW

    I've read several discussions on this very thing. The only thing that is confusing me is(I'm not trying to debate his knowledge in any way), why are my muscles bigger (on my non-workout days) when I'm in the higher rep range than when I stay in the lower rep range.
