I am about to complete my first HST cycle and i didnt actually find all my rep maxes this time aroun, i guessed on a good bit of them. So, I was wondering what i should do after i complete my 8th and last weight training week. Should i go into SD for a week, then find the rep maxes, then take...

Someone who previously completed a cycle, can you write down your max for any exercise, and the increments that you used during your cycle. This would be a lot of help to me, for I know how to put it all on paper, but actually completing the increments is another thing for me(because of the...

I was wondering, WHAT ARE THE MOST EFFICIENT EXERCISES FOR BUILDING MASS FOR EACH OF THESE BODYPARTS LISTED? I have to bring my posterior delts up to size to match my front delts, so I don't look like a banana peel. I want my hams to be nearly 80 % as big as my quads so I don't look like Paris...

Wow, thanks Chiefhog. A thorough and knowledgeable response was just what I was looking for on here. My chiro said he is going to do an orthopedic exam on my knee the next time i go(which is tomorrow, 7/8), how does that sound? Yes, my knee catches and locks, and yes theres popping. How...

To get width you have to do exercises for the Sternocleidomastoid , which is the front and sides of the neck. Shrugs are for the back of the neck. I don't have access to a 4 way neck machine, nor a harness, so i use a weight plate placed over a towel and lay on a bench and it seems to work well...

My left knee hurts on the right side and right below. When i squat down, it pops and hurts. I don't know what is causing this nor does my chiropractor? I have a few thoughts on which I think it could be. My left hip is bigger and higher(very slightly) than my right. My right side of my right...

I track my daily protein intake daily , and I always have very little room to eat other sources of protein besides my pre and post Whey(on training days), and carbohydrate proteins since my carbs are pretty high during training. I was wondering should proteins from bread, oatmeal, and...

I am taking Ecdysterone + BCAA's + Whey as a protein synthesis stack, post workout. I got the idea to do this out of Muscle and Fitness mag, which I know, isn't great to get advice out of, but i decided to give this a try. Why don't you think I should take Glutamine, since it combats lactic...
