So I am going to do a run of HST, it should run about 8 weeks and see if I come up with a new plan by the end of this cycle. Nothing revolutionary just some basics. Going to go 15 > 10 > 5 > 2 normalizing the INOL so that my hardest blocks are the 10s and 5s. I do my upper body, Bench, OHP...

Coincidentally, I was on reddit powerlifting and there is an AMA with Greg Nuckols and one of his articles was that was linked. It is a nice article, figured I'd add it to the convo. http://strengtheory.com/avoiding-cardio-could-be-holding-you-back/

Well your volume across the spectrum of intensity will, by nature of progression, grow over time as you get stronger. So increasing volume is good way to force progress but don't neglect intensity. Staying in one range of intensity will hem in your progress long term. Also focusing only on...

Sounds fair enough to me. :)

General conditioning is a popular training method in many sports and its benefits are obvious when you participate in them. It will improve your recovery, your disposition, it can be used as an alternative method to increase your caloric deficit and give you low-risk opportunity to train in...

I haven't done too much recently. My friends have a 10k coming up this weekend that I will participate in so I trained running a bit and worked on a lot of Bulgarian Squats. Starting September 1st I will get re-serious about training.

You've made some nice progress! I would suspect that one of the reasons the heavy training takes so much out of you is that you are keeping your calories pretty low. Overall you have decreased in body fat and increased in lean mass, which is great but if you were willing to move closer to the...

I don't have much to add that hasn't been said but LISS is great for health. I just had to work on diaphragmatic breathing and learning how to pace myself. I feel now my work capacity is probably higher than when I was a teenager.

What was your body weight when you started lifting seriously 3 years ago?

My advice would be to build some natural muscle before you incorporate PEDs. At your body weight and age you should be able to gain an appreciable amount of muscle in the first year or two of training. For the most part the users on this forum are natural and I doubt you will get much advice...

@Jester Thanks! When I am ready for the mental commitment to a new program I will take a look. I definitely saw some value in training weakpoints rather than just the lift to go into the 400+ DL range. I think I am getting to the point where just doing more of the primary lift isn't the...

Interesting timing that @Lol posts this video. http://thinkmuscle.com/community/threads/videos.18567/page-6#post-253742

Wish you the best.

Any good but common variations you can suggest? I'm sure I will be strength shopping in the next couple of months again.

@Jester Not that I have ever tried conjugate or concurrent much but I think a common criticism is that it lacks specificity. I think there is plenty of value in using those methodologies but as a lifter early in their career I think they have limited application. @Mikael Eriksson would you...

From the HST eBook: Adding weight is increasing the intensity to create a more potent stimulus. If you want to train singles, you can but you will need more volume. I used single training to go from a 405 to a 500lb (ugly) deadlift. To find a good volume for myself on singles I did 4-6 reps...

You come across as super arrogant but I figured it was a bit of a language barrier instead.

@Mikael Eriksson Completely unrelated but can I ask what other languages do you speak?

He know's his business.

Yeah I recently added weighted hip extensions to increase glute activation and hypertrophy.
