    Sorry...Another one

    not if you're like me, using over 15 minutes just for just 2 sets of squats or deads because the exercises rocks you that much... doing superset with antagonists (muscles that do not work synergistically together => the "opposite" muscle therefore) increases blood flow, creating PUMP

    Is "work" not a factor?

    not only load is important, its the combination of: enough intensity (e.g. load) to stimulate hypertrophy continouos progression of load training as frequently and with as much volume as possible regarding recovery abilities all these factors are important, but intensity and progression are...

    r-ala effectiveness

    well thats what the product is supposed to do...just watch dosage (but most people who try glucophase have problems with this... maybe its just too effective lol) anyway, someone told me to choose ala over r-ala - because r-ala might be the purer version and not raise insuline as ala does to a...

    Bulking with low carbs

    the question is always how low low is... i don't go heavy on carbs even not while bulking... but a low carb environnement is not optimal for bulking due to energy and insuline reason (yes insuline also has its good abilities such as its anabolic properties) anyway, i usually bulk on 40 % carbs...

    What do you guys it?

    for bulking i usually add 300 calories...not too much...prefer easy bulking over a longer period of say 2-3 months then the more radical approach instead of a big mac, get yourself a double whopper from burger king..that lovely little sucker has a 1000 calories... what means i can eat 3 of em...

    my next hst cycle

    instead of keeping a certain rep sheme for a certain period i always increase weight simply every session by 5 %...if weight gets to heavy i simply will have to drop a rep down... this means i will always stay close to failure what might be the big draw back with this idea... but i try to keep...

    Deadlift / Squat frequency

    i can tolerate maybe 2 squat workouts in a row, 4x squats a week but thats the maximum with a low volume... be carefull with squats, the high weights in combination with high frequency can easily led to overtraining... so just find out how much you can do...start with 3x per week...maybe you...

    HST - 6x / week

    well i think there are two main reason why 6x full body might help to cut: 1. you burn more calories...pretty simple 2. better partitionning effect of food but on the other hand, 6x full body will stress your cns/recovery ability a lot! especially if you reach weights close to your rm...
