Ok...its just that I've seen alot of diets keeping the fat lowest and carbs at 40%-50%.

Hey Skinny...I'm about the same weight (6'1 tho) Bosox..I'm trying to do the same. On about 3200-4000kcals a day (its hard to eat alot at work). Weight gain can be really tough. Gone from 64kg to 69kg so far this cycle. Still got 2 weeks to go (1 more of 5s then a week of drops). Skin...try...

I actually meant to say repeating - not zig-zagging... Actually...let me be more specific on my WO. I initially was incrementing "properly" during 15s (1-2-3-4-5-6) and continued the trend into the 10s. However, I had to adjust for the 5s because I didnt want to zig-zag for those. So...

Yeah, thru my 10s and now into my 5s (2nd week) I've been zig-zagging. Gains have been noticable so I guess it works. As for repeating 5s...how does that work? You just repeat the same increments for a further 2 weeks (eg 1-2-3 4-5-6 and then 1-2-3 4-5-6 again) or stick on the 5rm and do drops??

Lucid - like I said in one of Skiny's earlier posts (and Tot elaborated on) was to concentrate on Triceps if you havent done so already. They make up most of your arm so if anythings gonna make'em look bigger - tricep growth will. Dips and kickbacks seem popular.

No expert on frequency but on the way the HST FAQs go I would have thought 3x a week would be fine. Make sure you hit the triceps well tho...its the biggest part of your arm and thus makes up the most mass. I've made the mistake of not training them properly this cycle.

Girl friend or not...sleep is very important! You need to rest both physically as well as mentally. I'm sure hormone levels/muscle recovery will be altered which will affect gains... At least u dont have kids (I assume)!!

Like he said. Eat more...past 3000kcals...I'm trying to keep above 3400kcals as of this week (first week of 5s). My weights up to 150lb now (up from 143lb when I started this cycle). You've gotta eat...get the gainers in if you cant chew as much as you need. And yeah...learn to squat. Theyre...

I would have thought 50%/25%/25% (carb/pro/fat) or similar. Low carb would prolly be for those who gain fat easily and dont want the xtra carbs during bulking....tho I dont see how u can keep carbs low and still bulk up efficiently.

Yeah. I've only gone up a bit this week (night time weighing!!!!)...68.2kg i was thinking about the weekly weighing but if ur "off" on the day you weigh then that can screw up the figures. I find daily gets a good average for the week (I may be wrong). Does anyone find they...

And 21 or not....heavy drinking will age you.

Progressive load. Obviously the bigger muscles can take more weight so a higher increment is more noticeable. The smaller muscle groups will have a smaller increment...otherwise you'll hit your max too quickly (3 WOs instead of 6). Yeah, alot of ppl prefer squats - I certainly do..seems to be...

If you wanna bulk up you need to eat. I'm a "hardgainer", weighing close to 150lb now and I try and get down anything over 3000kcals a day with a ratio of 50:25:25 if I can (keeping fat intake down is HARD). I need to eat a lot just to keep the weight come on (although it's seemed to...

How about 12.01am?

Thanks. I knew it must have been something like like. My weights back up again now (with an extra 100g on top). I knew I'd get it back but the fluctuations are really astonishing (I didnt realise the body could change so drastically!).

Well I'm definately feeling pumped after a WO so thats cool. I love the buzz... Arnold on training ..maybe not that much

I weighed myself on Friday night and by Sunday night I'd lost near 1Kg? That must be wrong! Yeah I'm a hard-gainer but jeez... I ate at the same time, went to the toilet etc etc all the same routine. I hadn't eaten very well on saturday (only about 2600kcals) and only about 200 more on Sunday...

I'm in the same boat. Just started my first new cycle (after about a year since my last regime). I'm starting 4th week of 10s today but as yet, haven't had DOMs. I'm doing full body 3x week with 2 reps per exercise. I think I've slightly overestimated my RMs but I cant still push the weight (so...

I was being sarcastic Seriously tho...I tend to do the same. I prefer to estimate and adjust while I go (I'm really impatient).

Chinese is gooooooooooooooooooooood (crispy noodles with chicken & black bean). Skinny - I know Progain is supposed to be pretty good - it mixes with water (my current one mixes with milk so it ends up more expensive). Or just drink cows of milk.
