Colby I notice you have 6 sets for chest 4 with dips 2 with iso wide chest press how is that coming? More sets than normal for HST and I am doing something similar to that as well.

I have a weird feeling that this is the year for Jay cutler. But after seeing some pics of Ronnie Coleman over at BB.com...he is looking dry and ripped. what do you guys think?

For pullup strenght there is a great program on the web that you can use with a training partner. You basically do 1 rep then let your partner go. Do 2 reps then he does 2 reps. You do 3 reps he does 3 reps. you do 4 reps he does 4 reps..and etc. until one of you cant go anymore you reach...

Stick with the basic HST routine. If you can get the best results out of 3 days why bother with 6:confused: Enjoy that time doing other things...that how I see it. At least for the married family guys..hehe

I would go with the 5's and post 5's go really heavy with maybe a set of metabloic work in there. 3 weeks is a great SD so take advantage of it. let us know how it goes! Jow :D

I agree. I personally dont like higher volume either. It just not praticall for everyday lifting. So we will see how this cycle goes. HST does say though to use as many sets as possible without overtraining??? Anyway PM me in about month and I will tell you if I am still digging it or not. Its...

Jester I like the idea of clustering! However I think I have confused you on my strategy. The strategy is not to hammer away until I am overtrained. In my opinion with my years of training I can normally tell within a week or two if my body can keep it up. So far so good. Its only 14 sets a...

Good point Jester. I dont have the time to handle am pm routine. But anyway it fun right now and more an expierement. I feel like you do though if I can get by with just 3 sets why do 5:confused: But I figured I would try this until I feel my CNS getting killed and if thats the case you can...

Jwbond. I agree it is an a lot of sets for HST. See I am just expierementing this time. You have to understand I have about 11 years of lifting expierence so I am more conditioned than say the average guy. However this higher volume routine may lead to overtraining but there is only one way...

Well guys I just finished my first week of the upper body only compound routine. I started out with: 5 sets of 10 degree incline dumbell press 5 sets of rows 3 sets of dumbell press 1 set of side raises for the burn. 2 sets of shrugs. Thats it except for 2 sets of abs. Obviously is not a...

Looks good. Unfortunatly it just takes time. I have the same problem except with Chest. 6 years ago the biggest growing muscle on my body was my chest. Then I tore my bicep muscle doing heavy bench press and 2 years later of overtraining it was still lagging...which was do I am sure to...

Diet looks awesome! I remeber your before pics and you had a good build and looked good then...I can only imagine how you will progress 2 or 3 cycles from now. Yeah all the hard work pays off when people who see you often start recognizing. Also I will tell you something else I admire. I am...

Colby great results! I say if you want maximum muscle gain you prob need to bulk. However I dont like to do that anymore. I use to do it every year in college but the truth is as you get older you naturally bulk a little b/c of metabolism...work and other things so I tend to follow the advice of...

To be a HST Jedi Master you must quit work now and lay on the couch for master gains!!! Just kidding as JV said you will be fine dont sweat it just concentrate on your nutrition and HST. Joe! :D

Spyke First off welcome! You have just entered in my opinion and 10 years of lifting expierence the best forum on the net with no B.S answers. Now to help you out. Good news is HST really is the best way to train if you are looking to get bigger muscles. Also it can be great for fat loss. As far...

Chief Great Results...good gains considering you only gain 1.5 in the waist. What has your diet looked like? Also post some pics if you can! Before and After!

I say try both. Clusters are great but so are partials. I have found that certain isolation exercises are great also for partials which can help bring up lagging bodyparts. If no bodyparts are lagging maybe clusters are the way to go only b/c you can monitor your progressive load easier. But...

How to skip the 15's? Find a dumbell rack pick one dumbell with # 15 on it. lay on ground with sufficient room to jump (precisley 2 or 3 feet) start with right foot in front of left and then jump over dumbell! There ya go skipping 15's!!! Sorry for the humour but I couldn't resist! :D

I used HST to cut this year and had great results. What worked for me was staying with compounds working mainly in the 10 rep range and supersetting all muscle groups with only 30 seconds rest between sets. Definatly works and will make you puke! Joe :D

Looks fine to me! if you want to change it up. Ultimatly compounds recruite more muscle but if you want to do something different it works. Joe
