I do the 15-12-10-8-5-5-5-5 variation, and am in the middle of my 8's right now. Maybe my experiences can be interesting for other people relatively new to HST. Some reflections so far: - More energetic between workouts compared to my prior every-muscle-once-a-week-routine. - Tighter/harder...

If it's protein you're after, it'll probably be cheaper to buy a good protein powder - unless you are a baker or something like that, of course. Regards, /R

What do you mean -- "resting days"? Just kidding :D. But actually I usually tend to get back inte the gym asap, which means about 1-2 days, easing back. The intelligent thing to do would probably be to wait somewhere around 2-3 days. / R

Hi, Single session full body workouts wednesday & thursday, semi-light cardio friday. Reach your rep max saturday, if possible doing a split session where you divide the whole body workout into two sessions for ultimate focus. If you can find the time (which you probably can't based on your...

How about Lapin Kulta? Of the finnish beers I've tried, I like Koff best. But there's really no beer like a nice cold Guinness stout. / R

Can't you just drink less? I mean, there must be a way to "mask" that what you're drinking is non-alcoholic. Buy the gang a round of drinks, and a non-alcoholic drink for yourself. That way no one will question what you're drinking. Or develop expensive habits, where you only drink...

What is quark? Sorry, I'm swedish... :) Regards, / R

All I can tell you is that it responds better to the principle of frequency than the principle of progressive load... ;) / R

This is an interesting thread. The probably best thing about it is that it lays out the HST principles in a condensed and easy to understand manner. I am only in the middle of my 1st HST cycle, but have been involved in weight training for about 20 years. To me HST seems logical, which is why...

A great way to add size fast...at least to certain bodyparts :) . / R

Thanks for the link! Regards, / R

Since you mentioned it - where is this famous "Pimp my HST" e-book? I haven't been able to find it... Sorry, I know this is off topic. :) A comment on topic: If I were you I would cut down on the number of exercises for lower body. I would cut out either stiff-legged deadlift or...

About an hour, including warmup. I would have a very hard time getting down to 15 minutes...even without warmup. :) / R

CG bench = Close Grip bench? / R

Solution: 1. Set the alarm clock, rise at 04:30 2. Perform your workout. Spend the day with your family. 3. Sleep. :) Regards, / R

I do 2 sets mostly, but that depends on how many exercises I do for a certain muscle. I might do 1 set of bentover rows and 1 set of chins, or just 2 sets of either. It also depends on if you use isolations, for example. I have found that 2 sets for compounds and 1 for isolations seem to work...

The farmer's walk can be a great so called "finisher", an exercise that at the end of the session kicks your gluteus maximus :) . However, I wonder if this is really a good idea when training the HST way. It can probably be a bit tricky to incorporate an exercise of this type while...

Bob, Did you still do regular deadlifts during the "no legs" period? Regards, / R

Hey. that's easy! Just eat some more bad fat  :) - that will make your midsection wider. Regards, / R

You're probably right. Maybe water has something to do with it. I didn't mention it in my post, but of course I work out natural. / R
