You have made great gains. And the increase in bench is awsome. Just wait for your 8th cycle!!! That said you can switch. It is not dangerious. I switch back and forth. It will take you a few days to get used to the switch (no matter which way you are switching) The 15s help in this. You will...

I had joint issues in the first year of HST -- in my mid 40ies-- I went to a sports Doc and she realined some bones -- they were a little out of alinement. Any way that and some ice-ing and more lifting made the problem go away. The visit only cost $50. And it was worth it. Without getting the...

regarding what dkm1987 said -- I used to wrestle in school. And wrestlers use this to their advantage. A really muscular strong guy becomes a wet noodle when he "is gassed out" --- When he hits his cardio limit. So you can try to tire out a muscular guy and then pin him. Problem is he...

I guess a typo added to the confusion -- I ment to say I hang (bodyweight) for a about a minute 10 sec. bw = 210#. When I was younger I used to hang for two mins with my legs straight out. So a hang and a static leg raise. Talk about painfull !!!! But great for abs. So I can inch it back up to...

O.K. I am doing loaded stretchs for my biceps and can really feel it afterward -- I just hand for a minute at a time -- hope to work up to 2 mins but it "horts" --I feel the doms afterwards -- have not had that in a long time. With the loaded stretch flat bench flys -- I tend to keep...

A book I liked is Protien Power - it is an Akins esq high protien low carb approach. The thing is you can eat alot -- just protien and no or low low carbs. I used to wrestle and that is -- by definition lifting and dieting. lots of protien -- low carbs. HST some cardio will do it. But it...

Another thing you could do is sets of 2 reps -- so you could go heavier like o&G sugests. Also their are a number of lifts which you can self spot -- so you can go negative alone -- curls, calf raises etc.

I agree with Jake. When I started I did "basic" HST and ran on the off days. I droped about 25lbs in a few months. Then started bulking on HST. With HST you can get an almost arobic work-out if you want to. Then after you have droped the weight you are primed. Bob

Not sure what I should call you now --- Professor ? Vicious, You said Which thread should I look in..... Sorry this may be a repeat question. I just get confused on where to look. BOB

Man that is a helpfull answer, I as many of us have been struggling with this issue. Let me ask a dumb question --- what is a suplmated grip again. Grips always confuse me. Congrates on the BB comp. Did those pics come through? Bob

Thanks gentlemen. I broke the code. I lift in the pm at a cruddy gym with no dip belt and no decline bench. I lift in the am in a small community center workout room. Since there is a new gym opening in a month I did not want to buy a belt. So I figured out the community center has a dip belt...

I know this has been answered before --by Brian. But I could not find it. I need a dip belt -- can't find one at my local sports store. There had been a post about what to buy at a hardware store to make one. Can anyone answer, or direct me? Thanks Bob

So what does Apple Cider Vinegardo? I don't have the book Bob

Applause, applause, lighter held high and lit. Congratulations Vicious. You have helped me a lot. (As have Brian, and Blade) Have I customized HST perfectly? NO. But I am hitting the gym twice a day. Incorporating loaded stretches, doing incline curles and it shows. I reciently went to my...

I went to a reunion last weekend. (Grad-School reunion) I had two people ask me if I was on roids and a friends wife ask if I compete . I am certainly not ready to have my pic in a magazine --but after 3 years of HST and a 20lb weight gain (mostly muscle) I gotta say people are noticing. Bob

BigSoup, From the iron you are throwing around you obviously are not a beginner. However I would stick to vanilla HST for 3 or 4 cycles just to get the feel of it. Both physically and mentally. That said here is the slight twist that I do: 15s -- one set but go for the burn so a set could be...

Welcome BigSoup ( great handle) One set for the 15s is fine. This is because you are looking to do 10 to 20 reps for each lift. So then when you get to 10s you can do two sets (20 reps) and in the 5s two sets (10 reps) If you had done 2 sets in the 15s you would have 30 reps and this could...
