Hmm sounds like you were a little bit off on your weights. Did you test your 15 rm first? I'm assuming no. Shame :mad: j/k You can do a few things here. One you can stop and find your true 15 rm now and then (SD) for a week and then start over (I recommend this since it sounds like your 10's and...

Yeah he totally looks like the black guy with the sledge hammer in the man of steel comics in this pic. You know the ones right after the death of superman.

I want Jay to win. I still can't get over how much these guys work out and how much they eat. Jay throws down 50 G's a year just in food.

Just keep it up like the guys just mentioned. And don't even think the amount you can lift is sad. For some reason (I'm guessing through societies influence) you get this perception that everyone else working out can lift a ton more than you and that makes them more of a man or something, when...

Yeah he meant overhand grip (palms facing away from you). Your routine is almost there, but where is your hamstring work? Do you plan on alternating anything? I swap leg curls with deadlifts and dips with bench every other workout.

It works the Bi's too. You should try them both ways and feel, you'll understand better from that.

I have to agree too and it feels so good afterwards.

First to increase any muscle it just takes time. Be consistent and follow HST and it will grow. Second it's lagging in comparison to what? Your left tricep to your right, or your bi to your tri? You have to determine that first. Whichever it is, do more of that exercise than another. For...

Yeah I'm having the same problem here. I just finised my SD and I'm like omg this is way harder than I remember. I added about 5-10lbs on this cycle compared to my last on compound exercises and 2.5 for iso's. I felt like I was about to fail before I hit 15 reps and it's the first workout. I...

I think it's ok to miss one day. I have to re-arrange all the time. Just try not to miss 2 days in the cycle, or miss days a lot. Shoot for 90%.

Failure may not be necessary, but the burn is. You want to make sure you are getting a good burn or pump by the end of your sets for that exercise. Going over on the last day of 15's isnt really a big deal. All you did was increase the volume by a few reps for one day which won't make much of a...

OK guys here it is. First HST cycle results. I'm currently using the Scrawny to Brawny diet. Sorry about length, but it definitely gives you a bigger picture. 5'11" 24 years old Before (Unflexed): Upper Arm: 11" (shooting for 15") Forearm: 11" Wrist: 7" Chest 36&quot...

LOL kg. I know you know I meant g for grams. Could you imagine trying to eat just 1 kg of protein a day.

It's definitely good advice. I really appreciate the support you guys give. shaywm, Yeah I noticed it wasnt the Cuban after I posted that, but I was thinking of something like that. I forgot the name, but you are probably right about it not causing enough constant stress on the muscle. I was...

"In all honesty, I don't see why higher rep work can't be done in conjunction with lower rep work in the same session." You can. I believe its called drop-sets, but it's not recommended for every workout. Just 1 or 2 a week. I actually enjoy the 15s. The pump I get from them is great...

Yeah im saying no more than 3lbs. Isn't optimal like 5-9lbs a month? I'm gaining really fast right now, but I just started. I mean yeah I'm gaining some fat, but its not dramatic or anything. I'm a really skinny guy, so I could use I think.

Just looking for approval ;)

How long have you been working out for? I lifted at 80% of my 1rm with a full body workout for 8 months and saw no gains at all. Then I found this site and started reading up on nutrition. Most people eat way under what they need and some of the calculators online are way off especially for...

I was thinking of changing my exercises on my next cycle to do what I like to call my "corrective cycle". I noticed some serious imbalances that I would like to target for a cycle. Any objections? I still plan on keeping the core movements, squat, dead lifts, bench, etc but adding...

So you more than likely would get stronger and have better endurance, but would probably not grow in size correct? Unless you were able to take in the enormous amounts of food necessary. So you'd most likely look toned and cut with a lot of power. Sounds like a good combo to me.
