Fausto- You're right this is getting verrrryy technical! But that's partly why I wanted to do it. Many people tweak the original HST protocol with no concept of all the variables involved. If HST "classic" was to represent the most basic iteration for the vast majority of people, I...

Not sure what you mean by overlap. Are you using additional exercises as a method of increasing volume? Why not just do additional sets of the primary exercises? How do you determine viability? Experience and workout history? What effects (differing effects) are you trying to get from stretch...

Well, all I can say is that sleep is hard to come by with such information overload! Oh well, lets keep going. Vicious, you've done a great job covering frequency. I can't think of anything else to ask - you've laid out the options very well from a minimum of 3 days per week to 12 times per week...

I remember an old (circa 83 or so)made-for-TV ninja movie where the Japanese master (played by Mako) said this to his young caucasion student. Funny how you remember stuff like that.... Alright Jules, time to go and meditate on your latest nuggets of wisdom. Thanks again, Nathan

Thanks for the reply Vicious - exactly the kind of one stop shopping I was looking for. A few questions: Forgive my ignorance, but the E-C system is...? What about doing this with maintenance calories for fat loss? Great point. If you have 6 training sessions per week (total body for example)...

Great reply Lance! Thanks for that amusing clarification. And I agree, boring life but great hypertrophy. And a quote from Blade: "...the total effect of 6-7 workouts in one week would still be greater than 3 workouts per week." Nathan

Topic 1 - Frequency What is the range of frequency? In the original HST articles - 3 days per week, total body. Several have written about 6 days a week, each msucle group getting 3 workouts. Lately, I have seen a trend toward 6 days a week total body - each muscle group getting hit each workout...

Bryan - Why did you recommend not consuming more than 6 caps of commercial fish oil per day. I have in the past taken as many as 12. Just wondering about the rationale. I assumed that up to 20 (6 gr. of EPA / DHA) would be ok. Proteus

Usually one of 2 options: Trance, dance, techno, etc. (trance prefered) (showing my age here but The White Room by KLF - 3a.m. Eternal is an oldie but always gets me in the mood to lift) or soundtrack music from some great heroic movie (Farenheit 451 and Show Me Your Firetruck - from...

Thanks VC Just to make sure I've got it 500mg ALCAR @ 7pm 600mg l-theanine @ 8pm sleep @ 11pm The ALCAR is for alertness and the l-theanine is for relaxation right? Proteus
