I don't even refer to exercises such as curling movements and other arm exercises as "isolation movements". Only more direct and effective exercises. I pick the exerices that perform the primary function of the muscle. I think the problem arises is that most people don't take...

JV I think the confusion lies within the interpretation of the study. After reading the FAQ and re-reading it again the two main points that I got out of it was duration and progressive load. I didn't realize that the animal was simply walking around. Unless I am mistaken the study directly...

First off I am not trying to start a debate or any "flame wars". I am sincerely confused about this issue. What is the difference between adaptive energies and real energy systems/ sources by the body? Also... Why is there no cortisol or catabolic tissue destroying hormones...

The stated above was posted in the FAQ's by Bryan Haycock. What JVROIG said earlier in this thread is something different. I'm not saying jvroig is wrong, in fact I think hes right, but what I am looking for is some clarification on the HST frequency, I posted something about it in HST...

I have some questions regarding this FAQ: More specifically, I am questioning the notion of frequency as it is applied in HST and its relation to muscle tissue fatigue and the CNS. First, as I understand HST does not believe in "overtraining" as it is generally applied to...

bananas and turkey? and nice post by the way.

I would be interested to see how much triptophan is released at different rep max levels. Like for example, how much less triptophan is released at stopping short of failure at(10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90rm vrs. failure(100rm)? When is the optimal time to stop a set, but enough to induce a...

I'm with Joe G and Rakki, I would also like to see some answers to these apparent contradictions from the experts. I have been viewing this thread for a while and have some questions on some of the things Dkm posted about the importance of rep maintenance, volume, and load. Specifically some...

I guess to simplifiy my question even further is that; What happens physiologically in those last reps of going to failure that causes CNS to fatigue so badly that it cannot recover, but stopping short of those last couple of reps resting, and continuing to expose the CNS to a lot more work...

I have seen articles comparing HST vrs. high volume training and why spreading out the volume throughout the week is more efficient in terms of preventing CNS "overtraining".       In contrast though, I am curious why doing 2 sets per exercise, and 2 exercises per bodypart is less...

Old and Grey I've only been on the forum for a couple of weeks but I enjoy your posts and your fun, postive attitude about training.  I also have been turned off to some of the comments made on the forum, especially the ones directed at an entire profession(chiropractors).  I hope you decide to...

I have never heard of soy causing gyno on anybody. You might want to check www.webmd.com or other online sites to check the side effects that your medication may be giving you. Obviously consulting your doctor is the best idea about your concerns. If I were you I would not take anyones advice on...

lol thanks I'll try that

First, let me re-emphasize my question, I may have made it seem a little confusing. Hypothetically speaking, in a world where only two exercises exist: The straight bar curl and the E-Z Bar curl. Which of the two exercises is more efficient for biceps growth? The emphasis on efficient meaning...

yes thats exactly what I as looking for Thank You

Last week I was reading this long rundown on supplements that Blade posted, now I dont know where it went I cant find it! If anyone knows what I'm talkin about and can send me a link or point in the right direction it would be appreciated. Thanks, hamma

I own the PF training book by Peter Sisco and John Little and gave it an honest try.  I can tell you in all honestly to put it very nicely my gains were very very minimal if any.  There are so many logical and scientific flaws throughout the entire PF Training Manual too many to list in this...

Thanks for the replies. I do heavy compound exercises for biceps like standing barbell curls.   I was just wondering which bar is a more efficient choice as far as bicep training is concerned.(and why?) Thanks for the tips they are appreciated and I will keep them in mind- and I do like hammer...

I have actually heard a lot of positive feedback about DHEA but I personally have never used it. Is there any particular reasoning why ZMA is a waste of time or any research or personal feedback? Unfortunately, doctors are not always the best people to ask about anything other than their...
