    Deads to Squats weight ratio

    Lol, Deads are almost always higher than squats. In my opinion this is an indicator that Deads may be an over all better mass builder than squats. What did you deadlift 5 rep max before the cycle and did you include them in your cycle? I'm the same Hight and weight as you so I'm extra curious

    Cutting Routine for Wife

    I agree with Rakki And Techo. Breastfeeding will suck up alot of calories. I've seen it in my wife several times. If Mrs. Joe Muscle starts to train and breast feed at the same time ask her to breastfeed before training or the Milk will taste bitter to the baby. Good Luck Daddy!

    HST Challenged by HIT

    This is what Drew Baye had to say about HST on Dr Darden's HIT website. Care to comment Brian? &quot;I've spoken with a few people far more knowledgeable regarding the research than Bryan, and most of them say he took quite a few things out of context, and was very selective in which research...
