Can you elaborate on this a bit more? Any idea why? One thing I noticed is that if I work out in the afternoon, after 5, I have hard time sleeping. But if I workout in the morning, i'm good to go. Just thought i'd ask.

My workout: squats incline bench barbell or db rows pull downs military press barbell curl overhead tri extensions did 2 x 15 this morning, except for pull downs: 1 x 15 Just seems like my body is screaming for fuel. Man, and im not even in the heavy weights.

I've noticed that after I have completed a 15 workout, I feel pretty taxed for part of the day. Is that normal? I'm eating pretty good. I isually have a pre and post workout shake. I also am getting good rest. I'm just wondering if the 15 workouts are pretty demanding. Symptoms: feel very...

You won't get into those really tougher reps until you start the second week of the cycle's for 15, 10 and 5, correct? Otherwise, you are just building up progression in the workouts as you work towards tougher wait. For example, I did my first 15 workout last Tuesday and although it was a...

I started my first HST cycle this week on Tuesday. Went well. Feel like im still learning. Anyway, my question is that I had a huge problem at work that started Wednesday night and carried all the way into Thursday night. I was supposed to do my second workout Thursday, but with what happened...

Hello everyone. I am about to start my first cycle of HST tomorrow and I am very excited. I have roughly figured out my 15, 10 and 5 RM. I plugged them into the calculator to figure out the weights I should work with. Couple questions: On the calculator, just so im clear, there are 6...

Been doing squats, bent-over barbell rows, DB rows, pull downs, military presses...was doing shrugs, but dropped them. I'm just wondering if I work my traps on a lot of indirect work. They really get stiff after a workout. I appreciate the feedback. J

I don't know why this is, but after I do a routine, my traps, right where my neck/shoulder area are, seem very sore and almost stiff. I am not sure why this is, but they definitely feel more sore than any other part of my body. Could it be because of indirect activity from training? I don't...

After I felt pretty bad on Wednesday (after my Tuesday workout), I took a step back and reviewed my week, including diet, excersise, workout and work. I came to this conclusion: 1.) I wasn't eating nearly enough. After pouring over the internet for awhile and "catching up" on all the...

Thought i'd chime in here. I noticed as well that I don't feel great after my 15 workout. I had mine last night and feel "off" today. I'm wondering if its a combo of a few things: 1.) Not enough calories/food. 2.) Not recovering quickly enough. I'm thinking of dropping some sets...

Trying to drop some excess fat right now around the waist and slim down a bit. But, my overall goal (after loosing the fat) is 210 with 8-9% BF. I am trying to load my body with good food (have been eating very clean) as well as supplementing with whey protein and a few other supplements. But...

Well, I finished my first week of prepping for HST (finding my 15, 10 and 5 RM during this time.) After my first week, I realized I will need to do one more week, this upcoming week, of a little more fine tuning of the weights I will be using as well as adjusting a few exercises. Here is what I...

Alright, so I was able to do my first workout on Tuesday afternoon, in searching for my 15 RM. I have to say, this workout is tougher than I expected, but I love the feeling. I love feeling taxed and my muscles feeling tired, worked and full. Just a few follow up questions: 1.) I started out...

Hi liegelord, No, wouldn't do all them at the same time. Is it ok to do them all in the same week? I am doing my prep week, starting tonight. Here is what I was thinking of doing for my 15RM (finding it at least). Would this be ok? Squats - 2 x 15 Leg extensions - 1 x 15 Incline bench - 2...

Thanks again. That really helps me out. Here is my plan: This coming week, Monday, i'll try and find my 15RM; Wednesday, try and find my 10RM and Friday find my 5RM. Once I get those, I will build my routine and use the HST Calculator to setup my routine. I will use excersises listed above in my...

Got it. Simple enough. I was using the routine in the ABOUT Article as a baseline example to use. One other thing: how many sets should I do? I'm assuming 2? That is what I was going to perform. Meant to ask you david_diesel, you said you are starting your HST routine on October 18th. Why...

thanks david_diesel, Are you saying, that for my prep week that I do 15 RM on Monday, 10 RM on Tuesday, and 5 RM on Friday? Is this how it follows for the HST cycle? Or is this the only time I would do this as I search for my RM? I was a little confused there. 9-12 Days is mandatory before...

Well, I cannot tell everyone how excited I am to try HST! I haven't been this excited about a routine in a very LONG time. I truly look forward to it. In fact, I welcome it. This upcoming week is a prep week for me. What I mean by that is that I am going to try and get my body in shape, ready...

Getting read for HST and I am pumped! Love the science part behind it and feel this really good be that program that I have long searched for. Just wanted to go over a few things and questions I have. I have been getting back into lifting weights and have been lifting for the past 3-4 weeks. I...

A question on the calculator that has me a little confused: Across the top, there are columns labeled 1-6. Obviously 6, is the 15/10/5 RM weight, correct? Ok, what are columns 1-5 for? Is it: 1 - is the first workout 2 - second workout 3 - third workout and so forth. Just wanted to make...
