    JUST BEGAN HST TODAY AND NEED SOME GOOD ADVICES!

    For 15s you could probably knock it down to 1 set for each. And yeah..70 minutes sounds a bit too long. I'd say you prolly want more like 45minutes total.

    can this be a tri's exercise?

    I guess it would depend on your level of conditioning. I prefer dips (if you can use something to do them with) but I guess they'd be fine too. Actually, I used them on a previous cycle with pretty good results. Compound excercises would help too.

    Working the abs

    Dude..if u just want a flat stomach then I'd say -- dont do anything? No seriously. If you have good abs just do the fat loss thing and see what they are like. If they dont stick out much and you want more then do the crunches. But the flat stomach wont come without losing the fat and doing the...

    shoulders clicking

    I get clicking but not during lifting ie if I lift my arm in an arc coming from behind my back to over my head it clicks at the joint (I can click with my wrist too). Its never bothered me. But then its never happened during a lift....then i'd be worried.

    How do you know if u worked your muscle

    OG - I definately had the shrinkage this cycle (back from 2 year SD! ). Lost bout .5 inch off Bi's (I think I measured properly)...gains have all come back tho...and I've increased so your're right...everything gets straightened out after you get into the groove.

    Do you need to shock with food too?

    I remember reading something about reducing kcals for like a couple days and then bulking up again. Something about the sudden re-increase (I know thats not a proper word) in food shocks the body into storing it or something. Didnt quite sound right but worth investigating.

    See..some thing sound kinda wrong. Has anyone got any links to more investigated sources of nutritional information...however scientific the language. Its quite an interesting subject not just from a bodybuilding aspect which I dealing with now.

    problem

    Free weights allows the other stablising muscles to come into play and also helps with form. Machines arent bad per se but obviously free weights would be the better choice. I'm kinda like you...was 64kg a month ago - I've got a home gym (machine) and use those. Yeh, on the smaller muscle...

    Carbohydrates

    I read this article which talks about nutrition, but had a spin I'd never encountered which encouraged the intake of simple carbs...leaving the complex ones to mid-morning ingestion. Most of what I've read was geared in favour of complex and that simple should really be mostly used as an energy...

    how many sets do you do?

    I think the consensus is that you dont work out based on "feel". That being said, I like to feel the burn and I'm doing 3 sets on 5s - man my quads killed last WO of 5s!

    PLs. critique my diet

    AFAIK, as long as most of the carbs are of the complex variety its cool (slow releasing energy). Simple carbs give you the quick rush but any unused will likely convert to fat (thats correct isnt it guys) We've been having this big issue over here in the UK about nutrition. No bread is good...

    hst everyday?

    I hear ya. Would you the say that it is then better to wait until you get to a level of all-over growth before determining if parts are lagging behind? I guess this would be better as they may come up on their own...in which case time could have been better spent in extra over-all training.

    repeating W/O (10RM block) Is it OK?

    Dood...very clear. Definately makes sense.

    hst everyday?

    Lets say you want to concentrate on a body part that is lagging. Would it be cool (given the previous agrument) to work THAT every day and do the rest of the scheduled WO 3 days a week? I wanna be doing dips more for my triceps but I dont think I can handle (time wise) 5-6 times a week as yet.

    protein bar

    How many kcals can you get out of a bar??? I know some outlets seel the MRPs the miltary use for their troops. A good 1000kcals in there or so. I prefer to drink tho. Chewing gets irritating after a while...especialy if the taste aint that good. Oatmeal bars.........yak!
