    can someone comment on this article?

    I'd be skeptical of anything that was printed on T Nation.

    Totally discouraged by HST

    I would down that to 50%, it's just that 80-90% of the time it's what people are doing wrong. ;) Diet is 50% of th fight and 90% of the mistakes.

    Caffeine

    It does get you doesn't it? I'm the only person in my group of friends that looks forward to working out. For everyone else it's a chore. Me, I love it when I get to wake up early the next morning and hit the weights.

    Caffeine

    I used Omega Sports' Power Jolt fairly often for a workout stim and it's got a healthy amount of caffeine in it and I don't feel fatigued afterward at all. I do find caffeine can make me drowsy if I haven't been getting adequate sleep to begin with. I think a lot of people use caffeine as a stim...

    PSMF

    Which book does Lyle lay out the PSMF in? Is it the rapid fatloss one or is it somewhere else, in an article perhaps? It was mentioned in another thread and I've been looking on his site and I can't find the acronym or what I'm assuming it stands for anywhere.

    What's your opinion of using steroids?

    True. I think one of the reasons behind this is that falling T levels in older men is considered 'normal.' So are degenerating joints though, and we take steps to combat that. It is a classic double standard, fed more by apathy than anything else. People don't want to think things through, like...

    Macronutrient ratios

    Never looked into it, the last thing I read by Lyle was UD2. I guess it could be possible to manipulate hormones enough through food consumption to lose weight while gaining or at least keeping most muscle, I just haven't seen anything that shows that without severe qualifications. But, I am...

    Macronutrient ratios

    Manipulating your hormones with food isn't the most effective way to lose weight. There may be an optimal macro ratio, but I highly doubt it would be the same for everyone. The easiest way to deal with it is to bulk and cut. HST is great for cutting. Keeping your body as anabolic as possible...

    Necessary supplements

    Give Celedrin and Cissus RX a try. Lot's of people reporting positive results with those, Celedrn for joints and Cissus for connective tissue issues, like tendonitus.

    Can anyone help me solve my zig zag dilemma?

    Do clusters. There's no zig zag whatsoever in clustering. It also seems to be a more effective form of HST for most people.

    Necessary supplements

    With the obvious out the window, here's what I'd call necessary, but only under certain circumstances. Jester's right on glocosamine. Works wonders for a lot of people. Does nothing for some. In the same vein Celedrin is also getting a similar reputation for being a miracles worker for joints...

    Gene Rychlak at 2005 Olympia

    I don't think it fell on him, at least not from a great distance. Heavy benches like that, people help you get the bar off the rack and lower it, and then you press it up alone. From what I read/heard the weight was lowered and as Aaron said, was out of position on the right side. With weight...

    Gene Rychlak at 2005 Olympia

    My guess is his right arm is either broken or hurt in some other severe way. It looks like he was trying to support all the weight with his left arm so as not to get crushed. The clothes he's wearing are most likely the bench press equivalent of a squat suit. Hope he's doing okay.

    Heroes & role models

    My primary reason for working out is psychological. I feel better, plain and simple. No real role models as it were with me. Definitely people I admire in bodybuilding. Schwartzanegger obviously. Great physique, forceful personality. Serge Nubret is my favorite all around physique. Don't know...

    Natural Testosterone boost

    No, it's not BS, though the 100% figure for raw nettle root certainly is. However, nettle root does contain a chemical that binds to SHBG and can increase free testosterone if it is taken with an AI so the newly freed test doesn't aromatize right away. If green oats contain natural AIs...

    The Deadlift

    A full rep would be start at the standing postion, drop down and grab the bar, bring it up, lower it, and then go back to the starting postion. A lot of people go down for the weight once and just grab it and keep it in their hands for however many reps they want to do. Doing full rep deadlifts...

    The Most Outrageous Thing I Have Ever Read

    Not bad at all. BBQ and an orgy after some heavy squatting sounds like a good deal to me in fact.
