did you not figure out your 15RM first? it is better go too low rather than too high in weight... i have been lifting for 5-6 years and am getting ready for my 3rd cycle of hst. you are going to love it, just be sure to keep reading the FAQ and ask questions when needed.

he is referring to bench, not curls...

cheif, congrats man! I am in almost the exact situation (5 years younger though). I am 190-192lbs right now. I did one cutting hst cycle and one slow bulk. I started at 182 lbs so i am almost up 10 lbs and am leaner than i was when i started! I am also currently starting my second week of SD...

i like both for different reasons.... bb you can do more weight and it seems to help my tris a little more db you can get more of a stretch which is nice. i make use of both in my routines (i have two different routines i like to do 5-6 times a week, alternating)

be sure to do compounds not only for upper body, but be sure to do leg compounds too... stiff legged deads and squats (or leg presses) help to put on more lbm than any other exercises. i once heard an estimate that you need to gain 10lbs of lbm for every inch added to your arms.

I have been following the forums for powerFull on anabolicminds.com and am excited to see how this product does for people to increase lbm

baby a is correct you will gain fat eating clean or "dirty" foods. the question should be rephrased to ask: is it better to eat a small amount of maintenance for a bulk with limited fat gain or well over maintance to ensure the maximum amount of muscle gain with a decent amount of fat...

i read that as... morning = carbs AND protein. the carbs to help energize you throughout the day night = high protein, keep away from carbs...

that right there is reason enough for me!

i need to incorporate some drop sets, as i finished my 5s and do not have a spotter. i am doing a week of 5rm followed by a week of 5rm and dropsets. how many reps do you do for a drop set? do you do a specific # like 10 reps? or do you go a couple reps shy of failure? or do you go to...

the only reason i can think of why not to do it would be how long the body takes to change from putting on weight to losing it and vice versa. if the body takes say 2-3 days to change from losing weight to gaining then you are losing some time there, but that is the only reason i can think of...

since the 15s are more to get your joints/tendons use to the loads and not to add muscle, why not cut during them? 15s are good for burning cals, but not building mass so why not make the most of it? bulking in the 10s and 5s is a no brainer (unless you are purposely cutting of coarse). but why...

spikehead, i am roughly the same weight as you... it is hard to eat enough cals when eating for size. i plan to make the following staples of every meal in order to eat enough carbs: -wheat pasta -wheat couscous -wheat bread -white rice -Go Lean brand cereals other foods i will eat here and...

24, been lifting since i was 16 on and off. the past 5-6 years i got more serious, but spent too many years doing less effective routines. i have been doing hst since june and absolutely love it. i am on my 3rd cycle and am at the same weight as last winter, but from ~19% bodyfat to ~11%...

baby a, usually when referring to "good carbs" people are talking about complex carbs.

many dont actually decrease the volume. more sets are added like so: 15s - 1 set 10s - 2 sets 5s - 3 sets Therefore volume is similar. I go more by feel, but try to stay near the same volume from day to day.

no, do you have the link for it? my bone structure is probably medium, so maybe 210-215 is more likely.

aspengc8, stick to the main ideas of hst and play around with it to see what works for you. i think one thing that many do not mention often enough (which hindered my gains in the begining). you need to make sure to go slow in the begining of the 5s, 10s, and 15s otherwise you wont be doing too...

i have a goal of 220lbs @ 8% bodayfat. I am 6'1, is this goal possible with out juicin? I am currently 190lbs and adding lbm very fast, as i just started lifitng legs are years of neglect. I also have hst to thank, i absolutely love it!

I like wheat pasta and what couscous, both are easy to make and great sources of carbs... couple questions of my own for everyone: what do you weigh? bodyfat %? how many carbs do eat daily when you are cutting? how many when bulking?
