Hah... I always assumed you were asian! You commented about your little asian wife and her HST experiences, and I always figured Ziu was an east asian last name. That would make you one darn big asian though. I stand corrected. Good thread!

I attend UC Berkeley, aka Cal. And I'm young...ish. :D

The reasoning is the following: if you keep your number of sets constant, when you go from 10's to 5's, your total volume is cut in half. Upping the sets so much is just a way to perform the same total number of reps. I used to get less results during the 5's, probably due to this. This time...

Alrighty, well how about... Squat x2 Deadlift x2, BB Row x2, Weighted Chins or Pulldowns x2, Curls x1, Tri Ext x1, -------------------- Somewhere in there you should really do slight incline press x2. Incline stuff tends to go easier on the rotators than flat pressing, and you should have some...

My personal favorite is to use a George Foreman grill to grill up some ground turkey or chicken right before bed. It's moderately tasty, pretty cheap, and darn easy for us lazy guys.

Hey guys... los angeles native, guess where I currently am? ;)

I've checked out ketitofen online -- is there any way to buy it that's not $70-$100 for a mere month's supply? If it costs that much I'd rather just resign to gorging myself on a full stomach.

With respect to the dangers of smoking, as of right now I don't care. I don't think smoking weekly or biweekly (which is the current rate) is going to have effects remotely on par with smoking cigarettes at a normal frequency. I'm referring to more hormonal effects, or anything that would...

Well I do go to Berkeley, and weed happens. Part of the heritage Those are appetite aid supplements? Are they effective/how well do they work?

No. More creatine above what you can actually use will not hurt you in any way. It will be simply excreted.

Here's one that says it inhibits testosterone "production or secretion" for a minimum of "24 hours." Barnett G, Chiang CW, Licko V. Effects of marijuana on testosterone in male subjects. J Theor Biol. 1983 Oct 21;104(4):685-92. So that's kinda old... I'm sure there's more...

I ran a search and didn't find much, so here goes: what is marijuana's effect on gains? I have trouble eating as much as I'm supposed to, and smoking it would definitely help with that. Barring legal issues, is this a good idea, to treat it as an appetite aid supplement?

The problem is inconsistent reasoning. One the one hand, with prohormones, the policy makers seems to want legislation to protect us from ourselves. Okay, I'm fine with that; the masses are stupid. But on the other hand, they allow the free consumption of cigarettes, perhaps saying "your...

Also remember, she was going from uber-fat to average, not average to lean (which is probably the case with most dieters on this board.)

What about ending measurements, etc?

Actually I wouldn't start a beginner on HST. If someone has never weightlifted and isn't doing sports, they probably have slight to moderate muscle imbalances and a general lack of coordination. I'd spend 2 months correcting that before I thought about putting them on a mass routine...

Here's Backlash's results from elitefitness.com, he gave me permission to post them here ------------------------------------------------------ Just finished my first round of HST and got new measurements today. I'm taking next week off, cause my body just feels beat up. Not sure what I'm doing...

Oh great, so I fall asleep when I'm both extremely hungry AND extremely full. For pete's sake that's like 75% of my day! No wonder I sleep so much during class.

Well yeah, but hip extension is a much more "daily life" AND sports-specific motion than is leg flexion.

I don't think it's a response to exercise because it happens when I'm not, such as now. What's really weird is I also get tired after moderate-to-large meals as well. I hope that helps rather than confuses :D Like today... for lunch I had a peanut butter sandwich, two high-carb drinks, and...
