Yea, what? Never heard of a "california barbell." He must be one of those people who just makes something up and checks around to see if other people pick up his terminology.

Is there a fairly standard method to measuring the chest? I can get consistant measurements on other bodyparts but chest is tricky. Thoughts?

It looks excellent, very similar to what I did and my cycle went well.

My dead follows the trend and is significantly higher than my squat. The weights I was using were roughly similar to Lols, finished by squatting 285 for 5, and romanian DLing 340 for a few sets of 5. Squat 5rm went up about 40lbs, deadlift weight up about 25ish. I'm not sure how much more I can...

I usually have to run 3x a week for ROTC, and I make it through my leg exercises alright ;) You can experiment for yourself, try one cycle with cardio on off days, and one without and see if it makes a difference.

Try taking EC and eating before you lift.

No. Microwaving just causes hte molecules to vibrate, which heats up the food. Just like boiling/steaming or whatever.

Good topic, squats are my weakest lift, I've never been that good at squatting. When I found my 5rm for my first HST cycle (the one I'm still on), it was 245lbs, and I'm in week 8 and I did 260 my last workout, going for 270 next workout, and probably will be able to get 280 next workout (the...

Ping center at Ohio University.

I used barbell curls until the later 10s, and started stretch points (incline db curls and skullcrushers), and my arms are up a half inch in 8 weeks.

I second Lol's advice.

Definetly do pulldowns until you can do chins. A few months ago I could barely do BW chinups, this cycle of HST I started with pronated grip lat pulldowns, and switched to chins in the 5s, and now I am chinning +45 for two sets of five.

Simple answer: stop being so self absorbed.

This is my first HST cycle, I'm using squats and romanian deads. Next cycle I'm changing it to bb hacks and deads. I can't get the hang of squatting with my quads.

Not to take it off topic, but why does CNS stress lead to colds? From Lol's post: "(I kept getting colds too as my CNS was being sautéed three times a week! )"

Looks like a lot of routines that work fine for most people. I wouldn't bother with a warmup for your last exercise after it's already been indirectly worked with most of the other stuff, also.

If cholesterol is a problem for you, what are you thinking about whey powders? ON has 30mg, I dunno if that's high for you, I haven't watched cholesterol since I was on Accutane.

I'm hacking instead of squatting because I can't seem to get the hang of squatting with my quads. I'm pretty much a ham/hip squatter to the core, even in oly shoes!
