I could be wrong but hasn't lievinthenow advocated using compound movements followed by pulse reps in a post earlier in this thread? Isn't that exactly what we all do in the 5s? (or possibly a burn set rather than partials). So aren't we already doing that but combining it with increasing load...

I've also been reading a lot of posts on here about eating 0.8-1.5g of protein per kg of bodyweight, which is far less than the usually advocated 1g of protein per lb of bodymass. Further to that the optimal ratio of carbs to protein for growth is apparently 85:15 or thereabouts...althought that...

I personally would include cardio even when bulking simply from a health point of view. To prevent this harming your objective of bulking then you need to consume enough calories to replace those burnt during cardio. I personally believe that if the calories are replaced including cardio is...

That is basically how I've constructed my workouts for a while now. The basic 15/10/5 set up is to help people construct a cycle. However doing what you are suggesting follows the HST principles to the letter - as much volume as possible without reaching failure & increase the load. I don't...

I think it depends on what your aim is. I reckon presses are better for overall delt development and def front delt than raises, I do upright rows (wide grip, ltd range of motion) for side, rely on pulling movements for rear laterals. I would consider adding cable side and rear laterals as a...

I'm not an expert by any means but I would say if you're completing sets that are less than 10 reps at a time (so obviously if clustering your first set this will apply) add in a burn set at 15s weight or a pulse set then you're covering all bases. I'd be interested to see what more...

Fausto - I know what you mean, I always get my knickers in a twist about things that probably really aren't that important! I just can't figure out how you can even do them on a decline bench because when I did it on a flat bench The dumbbell would hit the floor before I got to full stretch...

Definitely agree with including deadlifts but I would have thought he could do them as well as squats/leg press? In fact that would make alternating squats and leg press an advantage as it would reduce the strain on the lower back as opposed to using deads and squats in every session... just...

I'm assuming that in very few if any of those studies people were training using sub maximal weights?

I like alternating exercises but I agree with colby in that I would stick to alternating 2 exercises and exclude the leg extension. I'm doing a 12 week cycle at the moment and alternating exercises, just one week for the 15s, 2 for the 10s and then 4 for the 5s and 4 for the post 5s, doing...

I'll see how it goes, I've only just finished the 15s during which I was only doing 4 sets in total so not much chance of fatigue there! A good time to concentrate on more cardio actually, might drop off as the weights and sets increase.

Generally I'm happy to do cardio straight after my workout as my weights last 40 mins max so the whole thing is done in under an hour, it's always interval training or hiit so it could be viewed as anabolic in it's own right and I have a maltodextrin & whey shake before and after. So not...

really? you can get cns fatigue from 20 mins or so of cardio?

What I really like about high frequency is it means you can miss a session or two without worrying about it. If I'm going 3x a week I start getting frantic if something comes up so I have to skip a day whereas skipping a day on a 6x a week programme is no big deal. Also I'm trying to get...

yep, instead of a belt to support your weight it's a belt with a chain at the front which you can unhook, put a nice big weight plate on it and then rehook, then you have a nice big weight hanging between your legs! Best thing I ever bought workout wise.

What's the rest of your routine like? Because the bulk of your tricep growth should come from compound movements as I previously said...I don't personally see the point in doing close grip bench presses as there should be sufficient pressing movements involved in your chest and shoulder worrk...

I agree with colby that testing is better but if you are going to estimate err on the side of caution, better to be able to do too many and just progress the weight for an extra session than the opposite scenario IMHO. Cheers Rob

Ah, I wasn't referring to your workout colby but that described in the initial post. Yours sounds like a killer routine!

I would just like to let you all know that you can forget jreps...and you can forget HST too for that matter... why? Because I have invented ROBREPS!!! I have only been doing them for a day and a half but already my chest has doubled in size and I can deadlift 1,000kgs...this obviously proves...
