Sprints are excellent, but squats (all the way down) make your whole body grow... Quads, glutes, hip flexors, abs, erectors, low back, even your hams are affected. I have large (but nice and rounded) glutes from years of heavy squats. I recently started putting a 5-10 plate underneath my...

I've been training for 20 years... What is a lat flye?

It's funny how people will look for every lame @$$ excuse NOT to do squats! The only reason they avoid them is because squats (performed correctly) are very difficult. It's funny how many guys in my gym avoid them. These same people always ask me "how did you get your legs so big?&quot...

Thanks guys. I'm really excited about HST. I am noticing the weights getting lighter, but my ultimate goal is size. Yesterday was my 6th day of the 15s and I felt extra strong, so I went for it... I squatted 265 for 20 reps. I haven't done that in 10 years! :D

Thanks Old and grey. I eat 6 times per day. You must have a lot of free time on your hands to be able to hit the gym 12x per week. I have a couple questions for you: 1. How much did you grow doing this? 2. Do you take every set to failure? 3. Do you get sore? 4. Did you work out 12 times a...

I'm a newbie to this board and HST. However, I have been training 20 years. I'm reading that some guys here train 6x per week. I thought the protocol was 1 on, 1 off? I'm 39 and training my whole body 3 days per week, 1 on, 1 off. I'm currently in my second week of 15's. Doesn't training 6x...
