    Do sups cause acne?

    Well I don't use testosterone sups or any type of roids. It am still confident that the pimples are coming from my diet. I switched protein powders and they seem to be clearing up. I was told the protein power I was using was crap by a lab which said that is contained hardly any protein, so...

    Do sups cause acne?

    I have been getting pimples around my body, specially in the middle of my chest. I have never had pimples on my chest, and have not really got many pimples for years. My mates reckon that its from the sups I have been eating like protein powder and creatine. Some of my mates say that get it...

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    Thanks. I will alt bench step ups with dead lifts. How do I know what weights to use when setting up HST while alternating? Also if I DB press 38kg total, what would be a good roundabout weight to start military press?

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    I might add some lunges, but I am very weak at them on my left leg. Should I replace the DL with lunges, add them in or alternate? Same with the military press, should I add it, replace the DB press, or alternate?

    Thanks Jester. I will consider your advice. Some points are that I only have a home gym, so I can't safely do squats without a rack. Plus I have a weak leg from ACL surgery. All I have is a bench, barbell and dumbells. I have no other machines or equipment that I can do leg extensions with...

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    I think I will just do my routine 3-4 times a week. I am on my second week of 10's now, and I do 2 sets of everything. My scales are crap. According to my mums scales I have put on 2kg AND lost fat. Plus my commented on much bigger I look without me even mentioning anything. So I am giving...

    Yeah that's what I have. I take it they are not accurate enough to make weekly comparisons then? I recall a study where they cut half a rats hamstring away and made it exercise continuously. The muscle regrew very quickly despite continuous training.

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    Yeah I will try and to find a gym in Thailand. I have been eating heaps more. My fat % has been going up. But my weight hasn't. Its strange. I think I look like I have more muscle? Maybe I am just in denial. I will increase my protein intake dramatically.

    What should I get tested.

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    Would it be better to perform the same routine 5 times a week instead of increasing reps by that much? I think the workout will take too long if I do more than 2 sets per exercise. I think 2 sets of 10 will make it about an hour. I have heard that going for more than one hour is detrimental...

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    I would not mind a bit of extra fat if it is a trade off for a nice muscle gain. Or I would not mind some fat loss with a smaller muscle gain. Losing muscle and gaining fat is NOT what I want. I have 6 weeks to go hard before I will have 4 week off while holidaying well away from any gym...

    Totally discouraged by HST

    I'm not very encouraged after my first 2 weeks of 15's. I started using protein shakes and eating 2 huge serves of meat a day with pasta etc and heaps drinking heaps of milk. The only weight gains I made are in body fat. Then again I don't know how good my scales are. Its early days yet but...

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    Thanks. I finished my 15's and according to my scales it's not promising. Mon 24 Oct 81kg 22% Mon 31 Oct 81.3 23% Sun 6 Nov 79.9 21.9% Maybe I need to work out more often? There is so much less volume than what I am used to. I used to do a full body workout everyday.

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    Squats are too much for my year old ACL reconstruction. I hope to be able to do them at a later time. Do you think HST will help my leg? Hey can I do my routine 4-5 times a week? On some of my days off I just feel like doing more. I have gained a bit of fat after my SD and I feel that this...

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    I started my routine Monday. I changed it a bit. I swapped the DB squats for straight legged deadlifts as they were too much like the normal deadlifts. The normal dead lifts does the same as the DB squats plus it does glutes. The stiff legged deadlifts does hams and lower back so I think its a...

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    Thanks for helping me out Arhnold. I think I will just follow the normal recommendations for protein and carbs and monitor my fat and adjust it accordingly. Has anyone else got any tips to add?

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    I'm not really into measuring and photos either. (once I show my pics, you will certainly know I am not displaying them to show off ) I have never measured or taken and body shots of myself before. I just think its a good way to see how well my hard work is paying off. If there are no decent...

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    Thanks, I'll figure something out for it. I want to do some before and after comparisons. What measurements and photos should I take and how should I take them? Before or after workout? Flexed non flexed? I want to make as good of a comparison as I can to gauge HST's effectiveness. That's...

    New to HST, hows my routine?

    Thanks. I will certainly take your advice into consideration. I can't use a barbell for squats as I fell its too dangerous without a power rack or spotter. I also have never trained my legs, besides a bit of ACL surgery rehabilitation. (injured about 18 months ago) Which is why my squat...
