Yeah I'm definitely looking for some significant growth in my forearms.  My calves are decent, but I definitely wouldn't mind putting some size on them.  I was thinking about using chins in my routine, but I'm worried that my progression wouldn't be as smooth.  I don't know how much weight I can...

Cool thanks guys for your input.  I'll probably lay off of that stuff just to play it safe.  I am gonna be using deadlifts every workout for my next cycle so I guess that will be good. PS: Colby... your signature quote thing is awesome lol.  I love The Big Lebowski  :D PPS:  SD SUCKS!  

I'm actually not quite sure how I'm gonna train my abs... any suggestions would be appreciated! :)

Would I be able to train abs, calves, and forearms during SD if I use isolation movements for them since I won't be focusing on them during my next HST cycle..?

You say that when you're parallel you may be causing too much strain.  I don't know if you mean at that particular part, or if you're ONLY going down until your upper legs are parallel to the ground, but if that's what you're doing then you may want to lighten the load and squat all the way...

Yeah, I asked a while ago which between the two would promote the most growth (though I don't know where the link is)... most people said deadlifts. I would have to agree, I feel that I'm getting alot out of my deadlifts right now.

That actually does to be on the high side in volume in my opinion. Maybe too much even... you could be regreting that set up especially when you get to the post 5s. I started out with 3 sets of every exercise thinking it would be a breeze and I was even thinking about doing 4, but then I started...

I don't think it matters that it's your first cycle... you should still SD after so that you can avoid RBE... I believe the only time that it might be ok to skip SD is if you're cutting.

Which do you guys think are better for packing on overall mass? I'd think deadlifts, but I'd like some more opinions... thanks

I believe it depends on what kind of form you use. Generally if your elbows are flared out and your body is leaning forward, more work will be directed to your chest. If your elbows are more in towards your body and your body is a little more upright, then much more stress goes to the triceps...

Hey guys. I just turned 17 years old, so since I'm still younger I probably have a bit of a different metabolism. How do caloric needs usually differ for teenagers? Hopefully I'm not repeating anyone's question...I did a search, but didn't find this question. It is stated that a starting point...

I'm in the SD process right now, but next week I get to start my first cycle of HST and I'm very excited about it.  I want to get the best results possible though and I'm putting alot of thought into what my routine will look like... this is what I've come up with so far.  Please let me know...

So, even coming from a split with each body part being trained less frequently do I still have to take a full 9 days???

So just to clarify.. it is absolutely necessary to go through SD before you start your first cycle correct? I just wanna make sure 'cause there's no way I'm staying out of the gym for 9 days if I don't absolutely have to!
