You can use more weight with pressing movements.

If you are in the second week of 10s, why not add in some metabolic sets to increase sarcoplasmic hypertrophy?

It's on, like, the 12th page of the Customizing HST thread in General Training.

Me and my workout partner are done between 1-1.5 hours. However, we workout at a college gym so it's usually pretty crowded, and we have to wait for stuff to open up. We're in the 15s, 2 sets each of: Dips (bench for him) OHP Lat Pulldown Squats Hammer Strength Rows Romanian DL Curl Weighted...

Is this a serious question? Eat less other stuff.

How goes the cutting?

goon, f'bombing results. Diet during hte cycle was...?

I'm amazed at all the different countries people are from on here! Pretty cool stuff. Me, I'm from West Virginia, USA. I wasn't born here, though, and I actually lived in Zweibrucken, Germany for a while when I was younger. Now go to college at Ohio University.

I wouldn't say first thing in the morning is necessary. Something that pops in my head is doing some Tabata on the bike, then afterwards doing a lower intensity slog for 15 minutes or so, to burn up some of the FFAs you've got floating around after the HII's.

Nah, that's how I am too, and most others I'm sure.

I'm aiming for less than maintnence. I'll be cutting calories pretty hard this week, and carbs to drop water weight, because I have to weigh in after my PT test on Thursday and check bodyfat and all that, and I can't fail it. After that, I'll increase calories to roughly 2000 or so for the next...

Tabata is pretty tough, why are you doing it before weights? Why not split them up?

Yo, spent last week finding rough maxes, this week is SD (booooringgggg), then I am beginning on the 16th. (in lbs) 15rm Dips... +30 OHP... 95 Lat Pulldown... 110 Squat... 190 Hammer Strength Row... 145 Romanian DL... 195 BB Curl... 60 10rm Dips... +60 OHP... 120 Lat Pulldown... 140 Squat...

Duhh, read about it in the FAQs (zig zagging post, increments, and SD all had some info about it), and talked to Aaron on IM.

For instance, a 190lb 15rm, and a 225lb 10rm, if the increments were set at 10 lbs, The progression would obviously look like: 140 start 150 160 170 180 190 15rm 175 185 195 205 215 225 What is the recommendation here, the two workouts won't make much of a difference? Is there something I...

I'd suggest doing lat pulldowns (personally, I use a grip a tad wider than shoulder width, and try to pull my hands "apart" from each other as I pull down to the bottom of the pecs) until you can do bodyweight pullups with good form, then start doing pullups with added weight.

What?

Hahaha, ahahahaha!  Well, no, my dumps have never smelled like chocolate (except this one time, but I hadn't even eaten chocolate that day, which made it even weirder).  Although I must say... 2 rows of Oreos?  If you were a real cookie monster, you'd have eaten a box of those Keebler Elf...
