Just to be clear, I think here you're differentiating between people who use a certain rep range to achieve a certain end, like 10-12 reps for sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, whereas in HST the reps are just a construct to allow for progressive loading while tracking volume and TUT?

Well, in my opinion it should be about the total look, but I'm not an IFBB judge. You're preaching to the choir, bro. I was so dang happy when Dexter Jackson won the Arnold. He has a much more complete and balanced physique I think than the other contestants. I think people have been...

You should talk to your doctor about this, and to play it safe until then stop taking any form of creatine. It won't cause kidney damage, but it can aggravate an existing condition with the higher levels of creatinine in your system. For adults with a healthy system their creatinine levels will...

It's hormone use. Growth Hormone and to a lesser extent IGF are known to cause the cells in the lining of the digestive system to proliferate. If it was eating too much you'd see fat all over their bodies. Steroids so far as I know don't really cause this. Perhaps if you used a ton it would lead...

Anything that effects your hormones will effect your liver to some extent, most commonly by raising enzymes or messing with your lipid profiles. One thing to consider though is that when you're talking about steroids you're talking about methylated orals or ijectables with esters attached to...

Haven't been to the university since that last study I got. )c: Too busy with work, new system is being implimented and tested, and I have to write the dang training manual. I think you're right on inhibitting binding. Test that would normally be bound is allowed to be free is how it works...

An apple and a can of tuna a day?! Hmm, he might be on to something... How much you to bet this shows up as a new diet pretty soon?

Incidentally, I saw some recent pictures of Cutler and he's $#@%ing huge now. I mean seriously big, I doubt he could wash his hair or wipe his own rear end he's so big now. Honestly I think he should have concentrated on learning how to dry out before shows, as that seemed to be his major weekness.

Fizogen's products are an extreme rip off. Tribulus and longjack may give a slight test boost, but they're essentially useless for gaining strength and size. There are a few products out there that do work. Designer Supplements has a stack out right now called the NHA (Non Hormonal Anabolic)...

The simple solution: never cut. :D

I like shakes as a supplement. Pre and post workout they're a good idea, it's just that too many people try to get most of their protein through shakes, and that doesn't work very well. I always have a shake for breakfast though, and ever since I've been doing that it's been easier to maintain...

Your posy cycle lipid results with Superdrol won't be variable, they'll be destroyed. It's almost guaranteed with this oral based on the blood work I've seen. RYR is a form of statin, it basically inhibits one or more of the enzymes your body uses to make cholesterol. You're right about the...

Make sure to add some CoQ10 to the RYR, or use the Now Foods version that has both. Otherwise it can add strain on your liver. Honestly I wouldn't run lipid protectors during an oral cycle because results are hit or miss as to protecting the lipids. On cycle I'd concentrate on trying to keep...

Full body metal suit and powerful magnets in the floor, and you've got something approximating your dream. As far as the weighted vest, it'd work but as was said muscles grow when tension is applied to them. The vest doesn't strain all muscles. You'd also need weighted attachments around your...

That's really the problem, ain't it? Lack of controls, too little understanding of what needs to be controled.

I prefer Optimum Nutrition Chocolate. Also, allthewhey.com chocolate is very good and cheap too.

I think Totentanz is right. Very few people here are using AAS. I myself am not using AAS right now, though I have in the past and likely will again in the future. HST, if done right, will provide natural gains that beat the hell out of any other exercise regimen. You'll never get huge on HSTor...

I used to 400 Tucson. Keep at it, follow the basic advice. A 40/40/20 split for a diet is a great diet. If you want, PM me and I can put you on to a personal trainer that works wonders with people and gives them a good education in diet and training as well.

If you mean the 21s, I haven't done that yet. (c: The shortened 20 rep cluster cycle worked quite nice. Muscles felt tight and pumped pretty much all the time. I seem to have gained a decent amount of muscle, but my tape measure is missing in action so I can't confirm that. I agree Old, it's...

Your body will essentially adapt to anything. I know a real skinny little guy who I train with on Sundays. He likes doing partials, and does them exclusively. He gets about 300 up and does only the last few inches of the rep range. It's impressive, but that's the limit of his strength. With a...
