You say you do squats and deadlifts? Why not make your DLs into SLDLs to hit the hamstrings??

Again, it's just an estimation man.. of course different people will have different situations. That's just an average figure I guess.

I don't think the 10 lbs for an inch statement is idiotic.. I've heard that before. I think Arnold actually said that. It's obviously not 100% accurate, but it seems about right to me.. it's in the right ballpark anyway..

Thanks guys.. my diet's fine, I'm pretty sure I just need some more volume. I'm starting a cycle on January 2nd and it will have more volume, so we'll see how that goes.

That's impressive man..

How much volume is too much? I'm a young guy (17 years old) and seem to have a lot of energy for training. I've never gotten real good results from HST but I think it's because I've been too concerned with overtraining. I never feel like I'm really pushing myself with HST. I look at other...

Hey guys, what do you think of Leo Costa's titan training system??

Like I said before and like neebone said, I'm not even sure that he was on steroids. He definitely had an incredible body, but I've seen natural guys bigger than that. I have nothing to prove that he didn't take them, but I don't think anyone here has anything to prove that he did. Triple H is...

Vince McMahan has just announced that within the next several weeks a new drug policy will be put into effect. All drugs, including steroids will be banned from WWE. There is also going to be a large emphasis on cardiovascular examination with the wrestlers.

I'm not so sure he was on steroids... he was definitely huge, but he didn't have a body that was out of reach naturally. He'd been working out for over 20 years... but anyway, whether he did or not.. I'm gonna miss Eddie. I looked up to him big time and this past week has been pretty emotional...

If you do max out for each cycle you don't have to SD before maxing out. Just find out all your maxes when you're done with your 5's and post 5's and all that jazz.

1. It is enough to warm up with only larger bodyparts because your smaller ones will be working with them and should be warmed up just fine. If you feel better with an extra warmup set for a certain arm movement then go for it, but just don't waste energy where it isn't necessary. 2. Warming up...

To me it seems that on a 5x a week schedule, clustering to 20 reps on all those exercises can be a bit too much when getting into the heavier weights. Maybe for a cycle you can reduce the volume a bit or throw out the clustering and see if that helps. If it's muscle mass you're after then I'd...

CNS stands for central nervous system. Repeated bouts of effort will eventually tax the CNS and if you do too much it will cause you burn out. That's the ultra brief explanation.

Jester I really like the routine you put up.. I think I'll use that one instead. Being that everyone is telling me that chins will be very beneficial I'll go ahead and use them. One more question with clusterig... you hit that set number of reps throught out the whole 6-8 weeks? or the target...

thanks again for the input guys... I've decided that I'll definitely use deads in my routine.. if anybody would like to share how much total volume you use throughout the week, that might be helpful.. also, when clustering it seems that the number of sets would go way the heck up there, but...

I was thinking about alternating with deadlifts but I'm not sure if I will or not. As for the doubling with rows... I don't think I'd be able to get good enough progression with chins. With good form I'd probably fail around the 12th reps or so.

I'm a bit confused... I bought the 'setting up an hst cycle' by Charles Ridgely and I believe he states that it's best to keep reps constant throughout the cycle, but I see that most people just keep their SETS constant instead.  Which is better.  Is it true that if you keep sets constant, the...

Double posted...my bad.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. That's why I was thinking of doing it just for the first week of SD then stopping it for the last few days of SD... but I won't risk it. Thanks guys!
