9to5 Thanks for replying. Current routine his past cycle was 10 degree incline Bench press with Dumbells for 4 sets. Form is perfect, the reason I know is b/c after my injury benching many years ago I have always made form a priority. I dont go any heavier than my 5 rep max b/c of the injury...

FYI on Blades routine. It is very effective for blade b/c he is conditioned lifter with some extra help. I would not think his routine is ideal for natural lifter. I think he would prob say the same thing. Just a thought?

DKM as far as growth in numbers I am not sure I didn't measure. Everything else grew as well, I know what you are getting at..lol ! I hit my chest 3 times a week with compounds only strength went up some but I would say more than anything tolerance to the heavier weights went up. I went with a...

Well guys I have been improving on my physique since I have started HST. When i first started HST one of my several questions that I asked was how to bring up my Chest. For those that dont remember I tore my bicep tendon doing heavy benchpress and It took a while to rehab. Well after going...

11 years of training. 3 with HST I will say it by far the best and instead of telling you the exact same reason everyone else has said which is so true i will tell you why I personally like it outside of the principals. My theory in college was I was going to do a split routine and never...

If I were you I would drop the mutiple exercises and stick with just one exercise per muscle group. I am pretty sure everyone on the forum will back me up on this. Give this a try and see how it goes for a cycle. Concentration on increasing the load and if time permits frequency. This is what I...

Be glad you dont need to add extra sets!!! Sounds like you are not that conditioned to weights, which is a good thing, us veterans who have been doing this for a while have to SD just to get a similar response to what you have already so enjoy it. I would not increase volume until you need to...

Simple answer... Wear the WHITE T-shirt everyday...hehe. :D

go with whats comfortable.

go with whats comfortable.

What everyone else has said covers it. I will add I did upright rows combined with shrugs for one years straight and BOOM! it did wonders! But I also noticed that they overpowered by shoulder developement, like somone else just said.

Exactly...great example. Also to add to what Bryan said about the lean factor. This is extremely true. I have seen guys and have been one of the guys who puts a white tee shirt on and man you look huge muscle everywhere, but take the tee shirt off and now you are puggy! MASS in the off...

My opinion. Silaren judging from the small pic you would be considered built with great muscle were I come from. ChiefHogg is definatly on the right track. and is looking built as well. Again this is were I come from, and the people on these types of forum are way more critical than average...

Man DKM...what Have I been doing for 11 years..hehe. Spyke dont sweat it. If being huge or freaky is your goal then good luck and I think you already know the answer. However if having an admirable, athletic look is your goal and I am guessing it prob is. Then you are in luck. Its not as...

I hate to be the one who bears the bad news... But the majority of us on here will not look like blade in our lifetime. I am and mesomorph so I gain muscle easier than most and still after 11 years of training 8 of those serious and 5 die hard, I am above average and you can tell I definatly...

JV good to see that you had the Arnolds book as well..hehe. That means if you were like me you spent a cycle wondering how the hell can I do this routine. :D When If first got that book I thought well I will just follow his routine and bam!!! I will be massive. This was in my early 20's of...

No studies to back this up. However i do remember reading in Arnold's Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding about rep ranges for different body parts. It appears the legs as well as abs do tend to have more slow twitch muscle fibers than say the chest. This is tuff to say b/c I am about to make a...

Agree with what both of these guys said. Just make sure your compounds are first, and also. I would stick to just one exercise and concentrate on the poundages. If you are going to mix it up, try to do it say on a Wed. of a typical Mon Wed Friday split. Anyway welcome to board, and to hst. You...

Jv is right ! I actually completely stumbled upon this years ago...by accident. I mean this literally know research or anything just my theory at the time and well it worked wonders and now years later I read the science behind that and I understand how I got lucky and it worked. What I am...
