Bump... is it alright if I do 3-4x a week for 15s then increase the frequency to 5x a week for 10s and 5s?

During my 15s, if I'm only doing basic core lifts, and only one set of each, my workouts will be VERY short. I have to take public transport to get to the gym, which takes a lot of time, not to mention the cost adds up. I've read the benefits of 15s are debatable.. It hardly seems worth it.. can...

Alright, I'm replacing leg extensions with squats. The reason I was alternating is because I'm doing a 5x a week schedule, and since I can't lift huge amounts, it's difficult to increment every workout. I guess I'll just repeat weights. If I only do lateral raises for shoulders, won't my...

My latest SD has lasted a little longer than I had planned. It's been a little over three weeks. Also, I'm introducing a couple of new exercises this cycle. It would make sense to find my new maxes, but should I take a full week to do so? Also, how do you find your maxes? Do you just keep...

I have read some of the threads on customizing HST and I have skimmed through the HST e-book. I understand a lot of it, but some of the terminology went way over my head. I understand why all the scientific reasoning behind the program is included, however I think it's safe to say that we...

I agree with McDee. While for some, it may be your goal to get as large as possible, many of us are training for aesthetic purposes. I have noticed since doing squats my butt has gotten larger. I am thinking about scratching squats, but are there any isolation exercises for the quads? Leg...

In my routine I already have a bicep isolation (I switch between hammer curls and barbell curls). Are you recommending that I add another bicep isolation exercise, or do inclines instead of the regular curls? Are static stretches separate from HST or do they follow the same rules (incrementing...

Is there any real advantage to working out 4 times a week as opposed to 3? I think my body could handle it as I have a pretty quick recovery time. But this would mean having to start off at an even lower weight, and I don't really feel any burn from the beginning of my 15s. Also, have you guys...

I've always had a strong bench and have gained easily in the chest. My arms have been a weak point. I've noticed that my chest has gotten quite big while my arms still are pretty small and it looks a little wierd. For my workout, I do an additional set for compound exercises, including bench...

I usually buy my protein from sndcanada.com. I buy 5lb Prolab Whey Protein for $39.99 +$5.00 shipping and tax (all Canadian). I was wondering where I can buy bulk high quality whey protein, and how much I'd have to buy to save a considerable amount.

Starting next week I will be working full time. I'm sure a lot of you guys work full-time - How do you find the time to get enough meals in? I have a 45 minute lunch break but besides that I won't have any time to eat. Will I just have to eat whenever I get the chance, and eat larger meals? Are...
