Cool stuff Joe. I start my next cycle in March too, I'm planning on using hte BB hack squat to replace the regular squat in my routine (6x a week ED) too. Let me know how your's works when you get started.

I believe the current state of thought is that SD is "kinda a big deal around here."

When you say more inclined bench, you mean more straight-up than level, right? I did try them, but I didn't feel much of a stretch in my biceps. I'll try them tommorow. And J-repping them... lol. I've been calling that method "21s" for about forever so theres no need for this new...

Wow, let me tell you what, my arms felt crazy during PT. Triceps were sore as ####! I must need to work on my form for biceps, they didn't feel the same, and I assume it's because of incorrect form. I held my skullcrushers in the stretched position a bit more, so maybe that's it. I didn't feel a...

Check out the FAQs forum, you'll find tons of useful information.

Alright, this was my log entry for today, does it look good as far as what I should be doing? ----- 2/7 - HST week 5 - 10s day 9 AM PT like usual... PM Concentration Curls... 30 1x6 or so for each arm, emphasizing stretch at the bottom, at the end, added some pulse stretching for about 10...

Same here. Gotta have my little notebook with me.

So just get some Dbs, go to an incline bench, let my arms hang straight down, curl it up, slowly lower it and really feel the stretch, repeat until I feel like stopping? Then move on to skullcrushers and do the same thing?

Well, we're on to the second week of tens, where in the Pimp book Jules says some specialization can be added. This is what we've been doing: Dips Overhead Press Lat PD Squat Hammer Strength row Romanian DL Curl My arms are pretty embarrassing for how big the rest of me is (pithy 15" arms...

Overhead Press, with a barbell.

2 sets first week each of 15s and 10s, one set second week, gonna do 2 sets for the 5s and p5s. This is my routine: Dips OHP Lat PD/Chins in the 5s Squat Hammer Strength row Romanian DL Curls.

I'm a soph in college, and I am in the ROTC program, so I will be an Army officer when I get out. Hoping to get into the Aviation branch, or another combat arms branch.

If you still have room to increase the weights, why not keep doing so? You say the weight was far too light on your last workout of your 5s, so just keep going on through the weeks, no need to keep doing your 5rms if they are too light! Keep on increasing the weight until your body tells you to...

And if your gym doesn't have ones to borrow, I'd suggest buying your own. They are invaluable pieces of equipment.

Awesome. What was your MOS over there?

And at your bw, low teens too.

How wide are your hands when you guys are chinning?

The UD2.0 requires specific workouts, UD2 does not, if you still want to do an HST routine, try another cycled diet, like a vanilla CKD. Or, you could just do the UD2.0, it's a ton of commitment, but it would still work, the point is, other stuff would work too, if you are such a high BF%.

I use straps for lots of stuff (lat pulldowns, hammer strength rows, SLDL) because my gym doesn't have chalk (or allow it), but what I'm probably gonna do next quarter is get some chalk (like rock climbing chalk, in a bag) to use instead of all the strapping, because I'd like my forearms to grow...

Looks fine. That's what I did for my first cycle (ongoing), just pick a bunch of compound exercises and some isos and go by the HST principles. For my next cycle, though, I'm gonna follow Vicious's Pimped HST plan, involving layering the more advanced techniques on top of some basic exercises.
