I usually SD for a week as well. Actually 9 days because my cycle will end on a Friday and i'll take the full week off (which includes that weekend) then start on the Monday.

Yeah but Arnold was a big dude, an all the way big dude.

Nice and simple. Bulking 16xbodyweight (lbs) as starting point (i do ~ 17.5 usually) Cutting 10-12xbodyweight (lbs) as starting point These are just starting points. Adjust total caloric intake until you are seeing the results you want. Don't add too many calories or you'll put on unneccessary...

Metabolic work is so dang important. Ever since doing metabolic work, the 5's are easily where the major gains come from. That's why i've been skipping out on the 15's and 10's, and just going into 5's and then post-5's. Metabolic work is in there from the beginning.

Well the general thought (or rumor if that's what it is) is that it's because of growth hormone use. Arnolds and his comrads didn't have GH back in their day. I've also heard it's because of the massive amounts of food they et, but i just don't know what the complete truth is.

Yes, full body workouts alternated. You don't have too. I had good success with this program 5xweek Mon - Fri. Squats Deadlifts Bench (or other chest movement) Chins Flys Clean and Press (or other shoulder movement, this gets traps thoug so that's a plus) Incline Curls Overhead DB Extensions...

Dont' believe the hyper. You'll end up spending a lot more money than you need for basically protein/creatine with glucose (or carbs in general). I know guys during football who blew up on cell tech, they said it's the creatine. I say it was the extra calories they started putting down with the...

It's in the FAQ about diet and nutrition. It's basically the same thing as the eating for size article, only calories or lowered to lose weight instead of highered to gain weight.

I've heard O&G say before that he eats about 250 calories over maintenance and continues to gain muscle and lose fat. It's a nice moderate approach i think. After being in this game for 30+ years what's the rush anymore anyhow right?

HSN doesn't follow any ratio. But in general, if you follow the recommendations (1g/lb of protein, ~25% calories from fats, rest carbs) it comes out very close.

Right now i'm getting my protein from milk, tuna, chicken, and protein powder (pre post workout only). I've experimented in the past with high protein intakes. I'm talking like 3 cans of tuna for lunch, 2 chicken breasts for dinner, etc. I once ate 5 chicken breasts at one sitting. That was...

skinnyman, Adding cardio, or just more exercise in general, will improve nutrient partitioning. Thus, more calories are put into the muscles, less into the fat. I don't think it'll make miracles happen on a bulk, but i do believe it will help cut down the fat increase a bit. I personally...

I used to think protein and fat were harmless and carbs were the one to be careful with as well. I think this is more or less because with carbs you'll bloat a bit more. Gives the illusion of gaining some fat to me. With low - no carbs, alot of water is lost. You'll look leaner. In the end...

My experience. 3 years of lifting with football. All power/strength oriented training. Conditioning improved over the years. Max-OT. Finally i was lifting on my own doing it my way. Results went quite well. I was considerably more muscular and also had lost fat. Good good. :) Started...

Hey it was 4:30am in the morning and i just had to get my head cleared before i went to bed. :D

That sounds like a good idea to me. I wonder if you can split up your metabolic work away from your heavy strain work. There's just some days where i'd really like to go light and just get a nice pump going. I think one of the main benefits of the metabolic work though is better nutrient...

Whatever diet you stick to best buddy, that's the one to go with. Some do better with low carbs because it stops their carb cravings. Some just can't function at all in life without the carbs.

Copy that with the negatives. As said in the results from HST thread sticky, i made some bad decisions during my off season, and wasn't very consistent with my HST plans. I stuck too them, no doubt, until i HAD to SD because i wanted to start a newer better cycle. Good news is, i've found a...

Austin, Don't make the mistake i made a few times over this last off season. In season for me is just summer when i'll be showing off the bod, off season is when it's too cold to show skin basically. I'm not talking competitive off season. But regardless the goals are the same, off season gain...

So pulse stretching gives more strain then loaded stretches, eh? The only exercise i remember Vicious saying about those was chins i believe. I think it means after your heavy sets (these are post-5's techniques by the way) you go for the loaded stretch but kind bounch up and dow to have...
