Nice thread! :) My gym is also very basic, 'no frills' - tho slightly bigger than Steve's I see! I train in the basement gym of Tooting Police Station, South London. (Still working on getting a camera - then I can post pic) Its quite small, but has everything I need; squat rack, Smith...

Hello Chad, Firstly, just a small point, but there is actually a board dedicated to nutrition on this forum. This one is more about the exercise plan itself :confused: Anyway, now as we're here, I'll just give you my brief views. Basically, you will need to count your calories - fairly...

Hi all... Well, I've finally managed to complete my second HST cycle, after numerous attempts - for reasons I will explain - and, while the results will appear very low, or even non-existant in some cases, I take into account a loss of bodyfat of around 3-4% - a good couple of inches from...

:D :D :D Very happy Christmas to Bryan, and all here at HST. It's great getting to know you all, and hope that 2003 is an even better, and more progressive year for everyone. Hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday! :D (Personally, tho I'm off Xmas Eve and Day, I have to start work at...

Hmmm.... that'll be the study I read then I'm aware that not everyone responds well to creatine, and, after a few years of trying different approaches with the stuff, I'm begining to think that it must be me? The caffeine stacking comes from the days when I needed as much of a kick up the...

Is it right that things like caffeine can prevent absorbtion of creatine? As I take a caffeine/ephredrine stack prior to my workout, I gave up taking creatine pre-training, because of this belief. I now only take creatine after my workout. I'm also cycling it with my HST cycle, i.e; 8 wks on...

Scratch, I'm new to HST aswell, having just finished my first cycle too, but I'll give you my opinions, for what its worth..... Firstly, excess bodyfat is (usually) nothing more than eating more calories than you burn. I imagine that you are probably only estimating your daily calorie intake...

Thanks Vicious, I have to admit tho, that some of my gains are probably 'muscle memory', as I have been bigger (in my early/mid 20's) and also, didn't train for around a month before starting this program. I intend to stick with HST for at least another 3-4 cycles, as closely as I can, and hope...

Well, I've now completed my first HST cycle - pretty much as outlined in the examples - and here are my results: (All measurements taken 'cold') 28th Sept 26th Nov Neck 17.5" 18.3" Chest 48.5&quot...

Just to add my opinion.... I think you should increase your carbs... you seem to have a pretty 'protein-heavy' diet, which means that you end up burning protein as an energy source, when you should be burning carbs, and letting the protein build and repair stuff (muscles/hair/skin etc..) And...

I agree with BIZ on this too. I take in just under 1g/lb bwt, as I'm 20% bodyfat at the moment. My understanding is, that any unused protein can end up being stored as fat anyway - which could be part of my problem, as I have used as much as 2.5g/lb bwt in the past, on much less frequent (HIT)...

I'm currently trying the PRO-PEPTIDE protein supplement from the Dorian Yates Approved company. The 'creamy vanilla' flavour is good - a bit malty, but certainly better than many that I've tried recently.

Hi... I'm new to this forum, and new to HST - just starting my first week of 10s. Currently, I'm 31yrs, 6' and 270lb, with bodyfat of 23%. I've been training, almost exclusively with HIT/Superslow for last 10yrs, broken up from time to time with endurance training for martial arts comps., in...

Hi..... I'm also new to this board, and HST - currently just starting my week 3 (10s) I'm from London, England. Born and raised, and have, sadly, not visited much of the rest of the world.

Thanks BIZ. I'm not too hot on all the scientific stuff, but would sugar not have a similar effect also, as it does spike the blood and give an 'energy rush'? I also vaguely recall, from Ellington Darden's website, (what happened to that?) that he also ran an experiment, a couple of years ago...

Having been taking Creatine pretty much since it first appeared on the market (at least here in UK - which was probably 10 yrs after everywhere else anyway!) I also have been struggling to identify how much, if any, progress I have made with it. Part of my problem, has been taking it with...
