I've been around a lot of the forums over the past few months and I've noticed a distinct advantage to having an HST boards. That is, if you're training with HST.

Everyone here is using HST for the most part, and many have been using it for some time. You can share good solid information with other people using HST.

When you go around the other boards, especially the non-specialized boards the information and methods of training are so varied it's a wonder you can learn anything.

If you followed the advice of the board posters on most of those sites you'd stay in a complete state of mental disarray regarding your training. Some of the more general issues are handled well enough, but when it comes to viable training that's another story.

I agree that a neophyte can start with just about anything and start lifting weights and gain. After about six months of random training methods the gains will stop and stagnation will set in. I see it in my gym everyday. I see guys that were just busting their shirts from the gain, and when I see them now...they're still right there where they were or worse off.

HST has been serving me very well, sure glad I landed on this site and found the system.

Thanks everyone

I share the "feeling", it absolutely awsome how we share information that suits all ;)

Besides on some of the forums I visited before there is also a fair share of "shooting" each others training methods

to the ground, something that benefits no one.

HST just happens to have a solid scientific base, there is also a lot of knowledgeable people about both training methods, tweaking and nutrition, what more could a "muscle head" hope for :confused:

Glad you joined us

Hi, my name is Dan and before I found the Hypertrophic Specific Training Intelligence Quotient Expander I could barely spell my own name.

But now, after utilizing Hypertrophic Specific Training Intellignece Quotient Expander I can spell the word adenosine 5-triphosphate. GEE Thanks to you HSTIQE, I can now read the funny papers. Man that Ziggy is a hoot.

It's not as discontinuous as it was, say 10 years ago. At least on the net, there's been an organic development of ideas since the mid-90s. First, you had HIT/HG/HD's antithetical stance against volume-based training; from that, people finally agreed that results came from core movements over too-many exercises, diet over most supplements, and strength (or progressive load) over high volume. And some of it goes toward periodization's push for journal-validated research and systemization of training variables. Without periodization, basic terminology like phase training, recovery periods, conditioning/deconditioning, peak tension, supercompensation, rate coding, and so on, wouldn't have entered the mainstream vernacular. That being said, HIT and periodization went on like a red state / blue state culture war. And unfortunately between that idealogical war, some of the quirkier, "fringe" 80s/early-90s training concepts like Parillo's fascia stretches, Holman's POF theory, static training, and a crap load of powerlifting tips kind of disappeared out of the mainstream.

Nowadays, most bodybuilding discussion on the mainstream boards seems to revolve around three camps: DC, HST, and Max-OT. There's probably a lot more common ground between the three programs than, say, Heavy Duty vs. GVT.

HST assumes two identities on the net. HST exists as a program, and is covered as such really well on other boards (for example, Ecto's posts on other boards.) But, HST also exists as a theory, specifically a concise gateway toward all the heady, academic stuff that's risen through the past 5-10 years. It is at least a paradigm shift and at best a grand unified theory toward bodybuilding training.

Debate between different training systems is akin to discussing what fighting style between Jedi is best. That discussion is in itself, valid and important, because it clarifies the proximity and direction toward the essence of what works. But HST changes the nature of the question, asking "why use a light saber when you can shoot lightning bolts from your hands? That is the REAL power of the force." If you only knew the power of HST. ;)

Join the Sith. The Dark Side owns!
