Intersting thread! Turning 40 in August! I am a bug-man joke, a pharmaceutical microbiologist at this stage. Getting rather intrested in the wellness industry and will soon give validation a bash, but not for a boss, rather on my own. Love HST to bits!

Hi guys Welcome to HST! :D Keystone: Try to include deads either stiff legged or the full thing, alternate withthe squats as per LOL Some more: You can do rows but chins are better, any reason you not doing them? Doing these underhand close grip style is great for the biceps. Since you...

Pigs grow too, have you noticed! Anyway, you may have hit it the nail in the head, let us hope! Cheers

2 to 3 inches for close grip underhand (this one can carry the most weight) 2 to 3 feet for wide grip chins, depends on your arm length, not good to have a very wide grip as the shoulder joint may suffer!

Don't take too much notice, Chris! I love to joke around! :D De nada, mate! That is we are here for! To help each other, else what is the purpose of this web site! It is entirely built on people helping each other, besides the fact that Bryan first had to start it off and give us the HST...

ab Just do the incline curls, the more inclined the better, for form, keep hands outward so that you can curl them properly without scratching the bench, then go purposely about them, try and J-rep them out (bottom range first - about 1/2 way up) then top range (1/2 way down and back up again)...

Aaron You have proof? Send us the revised calcs then for that page please! We also want to be onn track, all things considered!

Abarlament That is pretty much it! Don't overdo it with a whole lot of other stuff, ther is no need for it!

Geewiz, that is one lot of questions dude Most of us do 3 first week, and 2 on second, but this is up to you, how you feel. Burnsets IMO are mostly used for lagging parts, but if you really want to yes, it can be done, it will get a bit much though!   A weight that allows 10 to 15 reps at a...

Abarlament Don't complicate things, just do the same type of HST routine you are using for the main or core program, if you are the same variation as I did. The metabolic sets, you just "pimp" them in as you see fit, I found that after a nice set of incline curls with a respectable...

Chris Down and dirty, hunn? Man, lets get real, the best part of negatives is tha fact that you in real heavy territory, get the "partner from hell" who can really motivate you and help as well (shouldn't be too difficult in the army) . Don't go overboard with exercises, keep...

Chris I wanted to point you out to this: Go download the essential Berardi e-book on the link I provide below and open up page 29, then do the math and see what is you real caloric requirement, you'll be surprised. Yeah, that was also my reaction   Essential Berardi

Couldn't resist! I guess that makes me a strong guy, I am defintely 5'6", weight 154 or so, and bench, press, very much the same weights, never tried the leg press but squatted on the 290 mark for reps! Yeah, good. Now for advice, the guys are right! Stick to the program, use compounds...

cnegotiator Welcome to HST! Glad you found us! :D 1 - Yep, go for the legs first, and then down from there with most difficult exercises first. 2 - Not everything is 1 or 2 reps, remember that is a vanilla method (one for all), but you can try this: 15's - 1 to 2 sets 10's - 2 sets 5's - 3...

Nitwit The reason for alternating, for example squats and deadlifts is to save your lower back the excessive strain It has nothing to do with confusing the muscle, in fact I have headr this expression before but i really think one can't confuse muscle cells as they do not have a brain...

tdsong Welcome mate! Initially on the 15's many of us use 30 - 45 seconds, as this increases the aerobic side of things and has obvious fat shedding benefits. But towards the higher loads, the guys can use up to 3 minutes between sets, for those real heavy sets. The standard seems to be...

Since you are fatter around the waist, you would not want that to get worst, right? So high frequency w/o's would work to get some of the fat sorted out! Although the principles say you should work out every 48 hours, that is a "one size fits all" type of program which assumes your...

Justin If you are alone, you will not be able to do -ves for compounds, in which case you must stick to the 5's for an extra two weeks, what you can do here is whilst you slow down progression some, you may see how far you can raise the weight (load) maybe 3 or even 2 RM for 5 reps? With...

Staxx You could not go wrong with Berardi, the man knows what he is talking about. Whilst I am not buying the book and CD's etc, I am certainly going to follow the guilines he gives in his free e-book which I have posted a link for here.

Tom Link not working. Cannot give opinion, sounds about right though!
