I'm not to sure about this but I suppose static training is what a muscle gains immediate size on fastest. So gripping a set of heavy dumbells and standing there holding them at arms length while your partner does a few sets of crunches should give you mass as well as gripstrength. As a fact you...
hmm. why didn't I think of chin/row splitup :/ wicked but a great idea. I'll do chins and rows as A/B workouts as well.
I have never done full squats before. I suppose you mean a$$ to the grass squats?
Increments in the size of 5kg/10lbs for the big musclegroups does not sound like much to me...

Workout B:
Deadlifts.
Incline dumbell chest press.

My last HST cycle burned me out 2 weeks before time and each training day took
way too long time to get through.
I read the "setting up" article by Ridgely and thought I understood the works
of not letting the volume drop with the reps. But I can tell you 4 sets of heavy
5's are NOT to...
dang it to see so many.. erhm.. what's the political correct term for people being older than you.. elderly? :) *ahem*
There.. in my first post ever here I could succeed in insullting more than 70% of the entire board :) Moving right along:
