Hey, jvroig thanks for the great response! I definitely understand the gains won't be as good, but I can accept that. Even if I can just maintain strength/size throughout the school year and try and bulk up over the summer I'd be happy. I'm going to try and do more sets for each exercise and...

I agree that frequency is a key factor, that's why I was wondering if it would be more beneficial to go a lot harder (i.e. maximal weights, more sets) than what HST prescribes.

Hi, I don't think this question has been posted, but link me if it has: I'm a student and find it really hard to workout 3 times a week (I average twice a week I'd say). Does HST still hold up for such limited frequency or should a different approach be taken? I know I COULD find time, but I've...

What is the major disadvantage in a bulking cycle of eating more fatty foods/'unclean' foods? Is it just more fat gain or does this hurt your chances of gaining more lean mass too?(provided you get enough protein in your 'dirty' bulk)

Apple pie is probably loaded with glucose anyways, right? At least it has a lot of sucrose which would probably get hydrolyzed in your stomach to glucose and fructose.

Chiefhog, I'm 6'4 176 right now :) I had it up to 185 last summer but school dropped me down to 168 in the winter. I've gained 8 lbs in three months (which is good for me!). Keep at it and I will too.

Almost anything seems plausible with steroids or drugs of some sort.

I figured I would just figure out a good amount to eat in order to gain weight, but not too much fat.

I read a while back that if you're having trouble getting sufficient calories you can just add a few tablespoons of olive oil per day to your diet. Has anyone tried this? Will I end up getting too much fat? How can I implement it (i.e. make it taste good). Thanks.

Thanks everyone, I'll try just eating a lot of tuna and peanut butter (I can afford that). As for the smell in protein, I thought I heard someone mention cassein as being the bad stuff. Anyone else here that, or can clarify?

I've been sticking pretty strictly to HST training and I'm even getting enough calories. However, my protein intake is obscenely low (as low as 75g a day). I want to take protein powder, but there's a smell/taste to it that makes me actually gag. I was wondering if anyone knows what component is...
