    Well...are you getting fatter ? If not, up your calories! If you are, you'll just have to live with the hunger until it goes away...;)

    truth about losing fat/HST? please

    If you're a complete newbie, you may expect to see some fat loss while gaining muscle. However, you probably won't go too far with this method before you need to change stuff around anyway. Your best bet is to do one thing at a time. Diet OR gain. Think of it this way. Your body can either gain...

    diet during hst cycle

    Both CKD and UD2.0 are creations of Lyle MacDonald's. As Lyle has said the last few years there are no pros to going ketogenic as long as you cycle calories and carbs. I'd go for UD2.0 as Lyle's said it's based on HST principles...Neither will be pure HST workouts, but CKD will probably be the...

    cutting

    bodyrecomposition.com ? I hope you're not talking about pirating Lyle's work...In my opinion, the little man like Lyle and Bryan deserves money for their work

    cutting

    hehe..good think more people than me are perverts. I never pass down on spotting a good looking chick through some squats, good mornings, or bench presses. I guess you can call me a T&A kind of guy

    shrinkage of testicles

    One of my principles is to never to put my testicles into anything that squeezes and/or is mechanical. Seriously, if it's that small a change I don't think you have anything to worry about :)

    cutting

    Lucky ba$tard...I'm going to start UD2.0 as soon as my finances and work schedule clears up a bit. In the mean time I'm reducing carbs and getting used to higher loads. You sound like you're one of the people who don't mind the diet. I know for a fact that with my metabolism, which is great for...

    shrinkage of testicles

    Shrinkage should be a shrinkage of your leydig cells as they're not receiving any signalling hormones...Did you use much and/or for long ? Maybe you should consider a post cycle ?

    tired of being embarrassed

    Jazzer, AAS = Anabolic Androgenic Steroids. Male sex hormone (testosterone) is one of these, but they have plenty of other good uses for aging men - and the dosage I recommended should be within normal ranges for a teenager *s*

    tired of being embarrassed

    The only way to progress fast is to use AAS. In your age I wouldn't be surprised if a little testosterone "addition" would help, and you should be able to get it on a script from your doctor without too much hassle. Ask for 180mg/week as a starter, and then, when you've gained a...

    newbie question

    Just do as many as you can if you're not able to load at all (as your max), and build up to this number. Don't your gym have a chin/pullup with a loaded plate (actually works the oposite as loading your body, by increasing the counter weight), a runch machine etc ?

    Leptin

    I wouldn't know, but Lyle once said it *might* be useful.

    Gaining muscle while staying lean

    Yes, you can - but...you cannot do so efficiently. To build maximum muscle you need to eat at leas what you need. This number is impossible to guess so you can either overshoot it (and gain some fat) or undershoot and not gain the max amount. Undershooting is inefficient, as you could gain lots...

    Need routine critique

    Did you try using your legs ? Just kidding...you should read up on stances. You should feel it in your bum, but it's not like it's the main muscle worked...

    Need routine critique

    Oh, well...I've never gotten any kind of involvement (at least worth mentioning) in my hamstring from sumo deadlifts. See this description for details.

    Need routine critique

    My point is there is one *major* muscle not worked in the B program, while "the front" gets all the fun. Just like arms I would make sure to do one pushing and one curling exercise.

    Need routine critique

    Sumo deads and extension hits the same muscles. (Workout B) Also, I'd be careful with pre-determining number of sets as your capacity can/will vary quite a bit during the different microcycles, and even day to day.

    what happens on your 15-10-5RM day?

    Well, you should stay clear of failure at all times. Besides, if you've done your numbers right you should've gained strength during the cycle and be stronger than your old RMs

    Cutting and HST

    He wants cutting, not muscle gain. Getting enough stimulus to burn extra cals while not losing (too much) muscle should, imo, suffice.
