What do you guys feel is the best exercise for traps, shrugs? Is there another good exercise besides shrugs that you recommend? What about these accessories you can buy to workout your "neck". You know, the things that wraps around your head and has a chain that you hang the weights...

Anyone have any ideas realted to this. I want to use HST if possible. Maybe incorporate cardio. I really need info. as it relates to eating (timing, composition, etc...) and things like that.

Well, is it mass or toning? If it is mass, then follow the HST principles and add some iso for the triceps. If it is toning, then you need to lose the fat around the muscle.

Sounds like a great routine. How many sets of each exercise are you planning on doing during the 5's and negs?

I workout at home usually at night (around 7:30). I usually eat dinner around 60 - 6:30. I have a light protein shake 10-125 minutes before workout. Then afterwards I have a larger protein shake. My question(s) - should I be having the larger shake before workout and the small one after...

I postd something similar to this on the workout board a few months ago and the consensus there was 1.5 grams per pound. At the time I was getting 1 gram per pound. Everyone seemed to think I wasn't getting enough protein.

Cool, sounds good. The number lsted above is for what I am getting during my cycles which goes alon with the 1.5 grams per pound number that is always tossed around.

I weigh around 215 and am getting around 350 grams of protein within 24 hours of my workouts. My last WO of my first HST cycle is tonight. How much protein should I go for during my SD?

Cool. I weigh 215 and have ben getting about 300-350 grams of protein in the first 24 hours. The next 12 hours I still try to get a decent amount, but not at the same level as the day before. After that I cut it back to the equivilent of 1 gram pe pound. For example I lift on Friday night...

I was mistaken. It is 300 mcg. Is that a lot. Since there isn't a Daily value established for it is hard to tell. Regarding the David Boston thing....it may not be right, but that is what I heard. The guy on the radio probably got the supplement mixed up. What exactly does magnessium and...

I actually just started taking melotonin. I take one tablet (I think it said it was 30 mcg) about 15 minutes before bed. It helps me sleep fairly well. I hope I am attaining a deep level of sleep with it. I don't know how you would know though without gong to a sleep clinic. I work for...

Besides diet what elsedo you do different when cutting?

Me too. I wouldn't think so since the most protein is needed during the first 24 hours.

I don't have a problem fallng asleep, but staying asleep. I wake up 3-5 times per night. Any suggestions as to a supplement that can help and what exactly it does?
