Chief how have your results been from your first cycle? Any new pics? And in my opinion I dont ever like to drop below 5 reps b/c of hypertrophy reasons and plus the chance of injury! Joe

Thanks JV, I always love to hear from you! Got lots of repect for your knowledge! I will take your advice on dropping arms..its going to be interesting how this cycle goes considering I am at my all time low with weight of 177 pounds at 8.6% bf...so I dont want to ruin that and bulk to...

Thanks Jester, yeah I added the upright row to hit some of the traps, only b/c I have not been doing any direct trap work. I think I will take your advice and drop them all together, I dont want any more shoulder problems. However I want to get my upper body as big as possible, so I was thinking...

Okay guys I have SD for about 4 weeks due to vacation and just taking a break. Just had my bf tested and I am at 8.6% I started at 195 at 13% and I am currently 181 at 8.6%. So now I want to bulk cleanly. How does the workout look??? 10 degree incline dumbell bench press for 2 sets dips for 2...

Joe G I think I may have not made myself clear on the sets. I was thinking of doing 5 sets for chest 5 for back and maybe just 3 for shoulders. That being said I agree that no training program is correct in balance without legs....however it is perfectly ok for a cycle or two to not do legs...

I would think that is true to a degree. The burn sets do bring in the slow twitch muscle fibers that are hit with hight TUT or higher reps, but mostly the metabolic work is to flush the muscle with blood which transfers the nutrients to the muscle to start the rebuilding process or healing. Some...

Well guys I am in the middle of SD right now. If everyone remembers I have been cutting for a while and I want to start back with a slow bulk. That being said I am going to SD for about 12 days and then I want to start a new HST Routine, something different. I have been doing the standard...

You will not be able to tell...what will happen is you will work out for about 3 year and then one day you will wake up and bam!!! you look in the mirro and you ar 275 pounds ripped at 3% bodyfat...lol...just kidding I couldnt resist. I am at work and board. Actually the best way to check your...

I was just curious If you are already fairly lean....is there anything you can do say 48 hours before a contest or main event that will help you look more defined...any special diet or ways of eliminating water or sodium.

First I would not panic, I get the feeling you are a little bit. If you SD properly you may loose some strength but nothing that muscle memory want kick back in with soon after restarting training. Second I think you are on the right track by dropping all isolation moves, I would stick with...

I Think its time for the experts on this one? Only thing I can add is this are you concerned about muscle growth or strength. If you really just want to be strong...that extra bodyweight helps so a cutting cycle would not help your weights at all. However if you want muscle gains, maybe lets...

I am starting to become a big fan of HST with compounds only for overall size gains. We are starting to see that more and more...dont get me wrong Isolation are always needed to help certain stubborn areas. I think your program looks great and just wait until the end of cycle. Welcome to HST...

Good morning Guys! I have been honing my HST skill for a year now and I think its time I get better at adequate protein intake. There is always and excuse for me when it comes to shakes...but they bottom line is I get to lazy to make them half the time. So I have set a new goal for me and that...

Well the pain lasted a while in my arm prob at least 6 to 8 months...but then again when I went back to training I trained twice as hard trying to catch up to my old condition and at the time I had never ever heard of overtraining. So my guess would be if I had not overtrained early the pain...

Thanks guys....Good point JV and as always thank you for your reply! :D

Thanks guys for making it clear! DKM I am doing well. I am at the last week of my cutting cycle. I have gone from 190 down to 179 now...and a lot better defined with some some muscle loss but not to much. I think I am going to use the 5 day routine for cutting in the future and I am starting...

If you have that kind of color in your arm it is definatley a tear. That is exactly how my arm looked. most likely doc will put your arm in a sling to make sure you are not using it. Good luck!

I have been a member for a while so pardon me for such a dumb question, but how do you guys set up your 5 day routine? I am still a little confused on that? Does that mean you are doing typical HST full body mon-friday? If so I would then the day of rest inbetween workouts is beneficial and on 5...

I tore my bicep tendon very similar in the same way. Best advice is go see a doctor immediately, the only bad thing is half the doctors you will see dont workout and are not into fitness except from a medical point of view. In other words they dont workout which was frustrating b/c they couldn't...
