How about frequency?

Hey Don't become impatient - you are currently at 2nd week of the "hypertrophic stage", cause 15s do not induce growth signifficantly. You will probably gain some more muscle during 5s and negatives. Provide enough food and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.

Slightly inclined bp is really great.

No diet at all. I eat anything I want. I don't notice any negative consequences. The duration of SD is too short to cause some serious muscle loss.

It's difficult to predict. Personally, I think you will not get smaller, but the load will not be sufficient to induce further growth, since you're rather advanced lifter.

strenght = cross sectional area x neural factors HST increases CSA HST does increase strenght There are, however, better methods of strenght increasing, more specified.

That's a decent gain. Congratulations! I'd go a bit longer with SD.

Thanks, but that's not what I mean:) It was mainly about increasing the numeber of sets to maintain relatively the same TUT. 15 x 1 = 15 10 x 2 = 20 5 x 4 = 20 As far as I remember it was posted somewhere with "think-muscle" in url - but I may be wrong.

hi Could you please post a link to the article about changing number of "sets" in consecutive RMs (15x1, 10x2, 5x3-4). I remember there was something about TUT, with few tables allowing to understand it better. I've just forgotten where it is. THANKS

Hi I haven't got many "before" pics, just this one. It's not perfetct but it shows that I was definitely much smaller: These picks were taken after about 5 HST cycles (5x 8 weeks) later: I don't take any measurements, just using mirror. All I know is that I was weighing about 75kg...

Sure it would, but I really need that improvement. I'm curious about one thing and I'd be delighted if people like DKM, O&G, OneMoreRep, Vicious, Toten could answer. Researching this board I've found an answer for similar question, and somebody (sorry, don't remember who) said something...

Hi Is it acceptable to perform aerobic exercises such as running or skipping rope while SD? I need to improve my endurance and wondering how significantly it would hamper my gains on subsequent HST. Is there any influence on deconditioning since aerobic exercices involve mainly slow twitch...

I'm definitely not as knowledgeable as they, but I'll try to help you. Correct! Providing sufficient amount of calories and macronutrients seems to be especially important with 6x/week. If only you eat enough you'll probably obtain pretty decent gains. 1 - yes, frequency is extremely...

Thanks Old and Grey :)

Dkm1987?

I mean, how many "neg sets" (2 reps + 3 forced Neg) per body part would be fine?

What about negatives at 6x/week frequency? Shoud I perform them every workout? How high should the volume be? Thanks.

Well, it's advisable in most cases to reduce the amount of exercises when load is getting heavy, particulary in 5RM and further, and focus on compound movements, dropping out unnecessary isolations.

Who is edziu? :) Anyway, happy b-day!
