I dug up the thread you referenced and at this point I'm thinking like Mikey: "In answering the question, what causes a muscle to grow, it seems to be the consensus in this part that 'sufficient' strain borne by the contractile components of muscle tissue kicks off the various processes...

From the FAQ's "To optimize HST a person should train twice per day. He/she should use 2 routines, and AM program and a PM program. Some exercises could be repeated but most should change from morning to evening. The normal progression of weight increments and reps to be followed. That is...

Actually ,the idea is to consume the vinegar right before or during carb intake.

Dan and Jules, thank you for the clarification.

I would say it is I could be completely wrong, but I don't think you can change your posture much through training, unless you have a severly weak or injured muscle and need rehab. Just try to be conscious of your posture and try to pull your shoulders back and stick out your chest more.

Basically take your normal workout and cut it in half, but do it twice in the same day. So if you normally do two sets for an exercise, do one each time. You could do as you say and split the routine up into compounds and isolation, but I don't think this would be as effective. A six hour...

New pic looks much better. Instant gains

Are you saying you agree with him that a 30 second loaded stretch is useless? From the book of V: "I think loaded stretches make most sense during negatives. You could use your stretch-point movements and just hold it at the bottom of the negative. This may amount to no more than 10-15...

I'm more worried about the sunburn in the second pic Actually, you can start to see the upper abs coming through, your stomach looks flatter, but you may need to train your abs for hypertrophy to get them a little bigger, if you don't already do so. Bob is exactly right in what he says, you...

I came across this over at Avant. Thoughts? "It takes somwhere between 30 minutes and 8 hours of chronic stretch for any effect to be seen (in terms of stretch induced gene expression for hypertrophy or hyperplasia). All of this idiotic 'do weighted stretch for 30 seconds betwee sets'...

I'm guessing too, but I don't think that's it. I think he's saying that peak contraction exercises put a lot of stress on the CNS, thereby limiting strength gains. This is what leads me to that conclusion: "Because of the stress usually imposed by performing peak contractions movements to...

Got it, zip file worked The check is in the mail Great work Jules, and Dan!! And of course The Bryan, for making it all possible

So where did you hide it, because I'm not finding it

And you shall be, with our warmest grattitude and thanks. Oh, you mean cash

Touching back on the original topic I've come across these links dealing with the single vs. multiple sets debate. If these are redundant please forgive, but I found them interesting and amusing, especially the first. The author of the first quotes Arthur Jones: "Dr. Berger’s published...

That's exactly what I've been thinking with regards to eccentric rep speed. A faster speed, if stopped at the end of ROM by your muscles and not joint max or bouncing off your body, puts extreme loading in a stretched position, basically a loaded stretched pulse.

Here, I did a summary for you Jules: Do HST. During 5's add loaded stretches, pulsed stretches, static holds, pulsed contractions, burn/drop sets, yadda yadda yadda and the kitchen sink. Eat. Grow hyuuuuuge! Now, how hard was that?

Dan, I haven't had time to read the papers you sent me, but just a quick glance at one leads me to some confusion as to your position on this issue. It may become clearer when I get a chance read them but this quote seems to point to a single set being as effective as multiple sets in all...

Did you check out the link that crunch provided? "The final study by the Pollock group (Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. Supplement 30(5): S115, 1998) addresses the training experience issue. As you'll recall, some have suggested that experienced trainers might benefit from...

Vinegar: http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/cgi-bin....;t=1063 http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/cgi-bin....4;t=131 No, it does not acidize your stomach more. Correct on the burn set.
