You remind me alot of myself. 19, 200 but 5'11, similar build. I'd say cut first, wouldn't take long, and then bulk for a while. That way you'd see where you stand right before you bulk, and adjust as necessary what you want to bring up before you start your bulk. And you'd see your gains...

Only problem i have with dips and chins is that you bulk to gain the strength and muscle, but it's hard because you can do more weight on dips, but you've added more as well, so they're skimped a bit. But like he said, i started off at like 45lb dips for 5 sounding very intimidating. Now my 5rm...

Keep squatting, go heavy, and eat more. You'll grow bigger and stronger.

Well currently i'm only in the gym for about 15 minutes 6xweek. That would equal ~30minutes 3xweek, which is not much at all. I keep my routine simple and coumpound based, with emphasist on certain bodyparts some things change, and i superset alot. I superset chest and back, arms, legs +...

I think some metabolic work would be sufficient. It makes a world of difference to me, especially if you're doing lower volume. My first HST cycles i was doing 3 sets during the 5's, and i truly believe that was enough metabolic work as it was. My arms ached, burned, pumped, etc. For metabolic...

I don't really measure anything, but i've gotten bigger. Especially arms and chest wise, which was my priority. I'm going to work on getting leaner for a bit, and then bulk with great enthusiasm. I'll be working on general growth, but more specifically some more arms, chest, and i'd like more...

Okay i figured out their are free sites now to host images, thanks photo bucket. Here it is, oh lordy lordy. How bulky.

I just like to allways use both out of preference. I try to keep things simple, those 2 go a long way with dips and chins for full coverage. That's basically my main routine, the big four, clean and press, arm exercise, calves.

Allright i'll call this a 'before' picture b/c i'm just starting to get everything back together again. I have been eating pretty bad and everything for a while, so i can't match last year's conditioning to this one. The pic of me earlier on this thread is almost exactly a year ago, i'm a little...

In my previous few cycles i was doing it heavy style, starting at the 5's and keep incrementing the weights for a couple weeks afterwards using cluster reps and negatives. I was squatting and deadlifting Mon - Fri, as well as the rest of my full body workout. I was able to handle it for some...

I just started doing this too. Split up my bodyparts, so i'm working out mon - sat. and hitting everything 3x per week. I just got tired of doing the same full body workout Mon - Fri. Bryan, any insight on whether it's better to do more frequency (say full body mon - sat., 1 set) or volume (3x...

I've been a member of Ironage.us since it's first couple months of being up. Now we get some of the ironagers to post there and everything. Interviews with Padilla, Grant, and the likes. Some real good stuff over there.

Vascularity is pretty much being veiny.

Onemorerep was doing a compound only routine. He put up pics, looking very solid too.

I used hammer curls at first when i learned that the stretch moves are better for growth. It helped alot. I talked to Vicious and he said regular incline curls, instead of the incline hammers, give more stretch. I find it to be true through practice thus far.

Yeah it's basically the progressive load that matters, not specific rep ranges. In general though, the 15's can give some light growth, but at that light of weights it's minimal; growth isn't the 15's purpose. I've been doing HST all heavy for a while now. I just like to get right into the...

Props to you, definately made improvements. How can't you make improvements following the science of muscle hypertrophy?

I like the idea of winging it ... to an extent. More or less, put together a diet, start with protein, then add plenty of good carbs and fats. No reading ratios of Omega 3's to 6's, sat's to poly's, carbs to protein ratios, whatever. Just get 1g/lb, fill in the rest with good quality foods and...

Same here. When i've done things very meticulously, results are great. I don't think it's really worth it to put too much thought into it though. I put way too much into it and have fallen into a pit of putting together a diet, reading something new, changing it, reading, changing ... Results...
