thanks kiwi. I am now taking between 150 and 170g prot. daily. So I should be okay. We'll see in 6 weeks... M.

Edziu... Are you around? :)

nitrogen balance... anybody? :confused:

Well, to me, …doesn't seem to suggest that. But… if you don't want to stress your glutes too much (gluteus maximus), you might as well do partials. Keep in mind that some articles suggest that "As squatting depth increases, quadriceps-muscle activation also increases, and thus expanding...

Hi specialists. How important is it to keep protein around 150 to keep the nitrogen balance? At some point, Blade said : I mostly ask because I'm dieting. I'm at a pretty low body fat level, but I'm trying to get rid of the extra love handles. And, as everybody else, I'd like to keep the...

Edziu, I was wondering if you kept on experimenting with PSMF, and if so, what were (are) your results? Thanks, Manic

Thanks for the info, Bryan. I greatly appreciate. Shouldn’t something about the deep squats/parallel squats be added to the FAQs? Maybe it's just me... M.

Thanks for your comments. Kate : These are good points. My goals are hypertrophy, flexibility and general body-health. And, like most of us, I don’t want to go for unreasonable risks… But which avenue is riskier : deeper or parallel? This is what I’m trying to sort out. Some people...

I used to squat like the second guy (picture), but with much less weight... Kate (thanks for your answer! :) ) : you said that your joints "preferred" going to parallel. Were they aching when going deep? M.

I used to do deep squats (I now do parallel -- the trainers at my gym advised me to do so...). I'm thinking of going back to deep squats but... Would like to know what others are doing, and would like to know why... Thanks! M.

My original post here was put under :A different interpretation, Heavier weights, sooner? Thanks, M.

Thanks micmic.

Thanks micmic. So, it seems that, so far, you enjoy that way of training : greater strenght gains (although this is not the aim of HST...), and your joints don't seem to suffer. Do you like it because you're able to keep (or even increase) you LBM while dieting? I still wonder: - How much are...

Thanks for the quick reply. In this "protocol", load progression is pretty much minimized... I guess we could call it "super load increase" since the load involved in SD and the load involved in 5s are pretty far apart. And how are your gains, compared to the more...

Hi micmic. Interesting. Are you suggesting that you do not follow a weight progression which starts as low as your, lets say, 20RM? You SD and then jump straight into you 5s + negs? Or maybe 1 week of 15s for "safety" + 5s + negs? (The reason why I'm interested : in my last cycle...

Keebler, when you followed Sears' advice of adding extra fat, what kind of fat did you "add" to your diet (saturated, monounsaturated, ...) ? Thanks, Manic (BTW, I'm an elf type too. )

Thank you for your answer ZMT. :) Manic

Of course. I agree. It might not be worth it to buy the book if you're already very familiar with low carbs diet. I find NHE to be an interesting variation on the theme of LOWER carbohydrate diets... I like reading different perspectives on similar diet types (CKD or whatever). NHE is not the...

Hi ttboyy2, I too was thinking of using NHE combined with HST. My main objective would be to add a bit more muscle mass (next cycle) and loose all the fat (3lbs) I gained in the last 4 months. Did you get any feedback from other HSTers? Cheers, Manic

I've never been able to gain size with these diet principles : big meal at the end of the day, little food during the day. And I've never seen somebody gaining muscle mass during the month of Ramadan (I know many muslims). I started to gain size when I started eating every 2-3 hours and about...
