Hi everyone,
I'm 18 years old, 6ft tall, and 162 lbs. I don't have a 6 pack but I'm not chubby either. I would say my upper body is underdeveloped compared to my lower body. I'm a black belt in karate and have always needed powerful kicks and fast punches to survive in tournaments, so my quads are muscular but my biceps/chest need a lot of work!
Anyway, I heard about HST and have been reading about it, but a lot of it right now is over my head. The guides on this website have been somewhat helpful, but I'm still confused about how to setup my workout.
I really want to get into HST and build some upper body mass in the next few months. Can anyone get me started on a workout plan of some sort? That calculator application on this site didn't really help :-/
Also, is it really important for me to consume protein before/after a workout, or to follow some specific diet (other than a healthy one)?
Thanks a lot for your help guys, and I look forward to being a part of this community!
