You can search it on the forum. Its just a way of performing a rep where u do half reps (top half of the motion to sticking point) and then do the other half (lower half to sticking point). THere are ways to manipulate this also.

hrmm... i think i read this whole thread incorrectly. I was just trying to say that muscle damage can happen without DOMS or too much DOMS to indicate that it happens. But Louno's question was if DOMS came from the lactic acid buildup. mmm not so sure about that. Epsilon , i think you've got it...

O, btw I also fiddled with blowreps during the 10's which was fun.

my routine was pretty simple, 15's started off with incline bench, lat pulldown, ab work, and leg press. went into the 10's with the same idea until the end of the 10's when i brought in the isolations, (arnold press, tri ext, bicep curl). extended into just doing eccentric movements for 3...

or in simpler terms. DOMS is one of many indicators of muscle growth. Growth doesn't necessarily need to be justified with DOMS. IF doms then growth is correct. If growth then doms is incorrect.(fallacy) haha some rhetoric for ya pzhang

i've been able to gain 40 lbs within a semester. HST principles are the best. There are ways to tweak it and other programs that still follow HST principles that give good results, maybe better results, maybe worse. It really depends on your conditioning and what works for your body. I've tried...

i think its marginal low/high gi. but the important thing is carb/protein/fat timing. i stick with low gi most of the time because it just seems healthier to me. U shuld just try it for yourself and see what fits you best. I'm sure a month or so on either low/high gi wouldn't hinder your gains...

Hey I've heard theres a replacement for halodrol which is much safer called promagnon25. Anything on this? Reviews say that its freakin amazing, and plus it doesn't aromatize into estrogen. Any PCT needed with this? any ideas whether its worth it or not? thanks for the help pzhang

awesome thanks for the info.

Dan, sorry this reply has taken a while. I thought the word around was that it was alright not being able to hit the target reps on the second or third sets because the weight is high enough that the first set causes most of the microtrauma. I think i have hypertrophy mixed up with just...

I would stay with the same weights and hith the target reps for the first set. and then do however many you think is appropriate for the sets afterwards. So in this case, you would be able to do 200 for 5 reps. then 200 for 3. then 200 for 1 maybe. I just don't like lowering the load during the...

i have the same problem you have no idea. i have massive red stretch marks on my chest, arm(bicep and tricep area). quads and hips. i feel like woman... too bad its from hypertrophy hahaha. I just go along with lots of cocoa butter but i hear that mederma(Rx only) works well with stretch marks ...

do a search on POF/HST. Theres been a discussion about it already. its doable and a very nice little mix up with HST. Dkm gave me some very good advice on how to go about implementing it.

NHA stack is amazing. I gained 45 lbs within a semester in college with lots o calories. gained a bit of fat thats noticeable, but the muscle gains were just through the roof. I don't know if the test results from it but I definately can vouch that the NHA stack worked for me

o you meant metabolic fatigue. woops. You could always just do 15s, or a burnset after your clustering, thats perfectly fine too. If that's too much, you could always try half reps(a little bit taken from BLOWreps) and just work on the stretch ROM of the exercise, which i think also causes...
