I haven't been on here in years (still HSTing though) And yes Bryan I'm still alive. Anyway I tried to get on to the forum from the HST site and that link didn't work. I finally figured out how to get on here through thinkmuscle.com. Anyway just a heads up to the admin. I tried it from...

You are touching on a few issues here. SD Length. SD should be between 9 and 14 days. Much less than 9 you are just resting (not a bad thing) But resting is not deconditioning. Over 14 days you will start loosing mass strength etc. As with all this suff it is a trade off. It is not about...

Well 9 days is the beginning of SD (about a 9 day min) If I were you I would start over but only do like 2 days of 15s, and maybe even shorten the 10s... then prolong the post 5s. I would not go back and do a full 15. That said I would not just jump back into the 5s either. Bob

Nothing wrong with same routine twice per day. Nothing wrong with 4 days a week. You will have to eat like a horse working out that much and you will risk over training. 2 x 3 days a week should be more than enough.

I'd go for the gym with the squat rack. It sounds like a better gym. A little more money. But if lifting is an important part of you life then it would be more than worth it.

Incline curls are good --you get a better stretch at the bottom. (you will lift less weight cuz they are difficult) Might want to add a static hold --just get as much weight as possilbe on a bar in a squat rack and just lift it and hold it as long as possible. Your palms need to be awyay from...

thanks Dan.. Makes sense. And I did not mean to sighn that Bod... rather Bob... I won't bed Bod for a few more cycles. roberto

Ok what is in-roading? fausto et. al. ? Bod

no problem You also have warm up sets. And burn sets. In my previous answer I was only counting work sets. Bob

Nice on the Bf%. 3 sets all the time is tough. One thing to do is focus on total reps not sets. (this fits with the "clustering" way of thinking). -- yet another new way to think!! So If you did one set on the 15s, two in the tens, and three in the 5s your "total reps&quot...

I am a recovering over trainer. Yeah it is hard to go from thinking failure is good. To the thinking of HST. Think this way time under tension is good. I think once you do a full cycle you may understand it better. You will see the whole process. If you are just itching for more work -- why not...

sounds like you should be a pro bodybuilder. In school I found working out helped calm me down. Being a little "beat up" after a good workout would allow me to concentrate. If lifting does not do it for you try running. My workouts are always better when I am busy.... I guess my...

shwaym, Whats a log?? First I assume your choice of exercizes is correct. I mean that you are hitting all the muscle groups that you want to hit. That is a personal choice. Depends on where you are, and what you want. I guess the big idea is that the post 5s should be tuffer than the 5s. So...

you can self spot on many lifts --dips, weighted chins, dumbell curls, calf raises, and / or cluster -- just do 2 reps with more weight. But do 5 sets :)
