Apple cider vinegar is alot easier to tolerate (IMO) than straight everyday vinegar. Try it and if it still gives you problems just put it in a diet soda to kill the taste.

I'm also interested in this topic. I've always read that one sign of CNS fatigue/overtraining is an elevated heart rate above normal resting heart rate upon waking up in the a.m. Another sign would be loss of strength from one workout to the next. Another personal indicator for me is when my...

Thanks dkm. I take this to mean I would be better off keeping the same exercises for consecutive cycles. The reason I brought this up is that I was thinking about using POF. But, I don't quite know how to incorporate all three points of flexion into an HST routine without changing and adding...

What are the pros and cons of changing exercises each cycle? I know it is a highly individual thing as to which exercises work best for you, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there depending on which program you train with. Since I'm new to HST I would be interested in how this...

Anyone tried the Actijube creatine chews that are supposed to be pH balanced in the gut? I'm trying it now and would be interested in anyone's experience with it. It's not cheap- I paid $20 for 40 x 3 gram chews but I thought I would give it a shot.

When is HSN going to come out with a 2kg or larger container of Driver and Primer, anyone? Bryan?

I've read the thread on PSMF over at Bodyrecomposition but I'm not convinced yet on attempting it. Underneath all this blubber is a good deal of muscle that I've busted my @$$ in the gym to get and I don't want to burn even an ounce of it trying to perform HST on a hundred grams or so of...

Does anyone know what the proper ratio of quad size to calf size should be? My freaking calves are 18" and my quads are 29" and I don't even train calves (genetics I guess)!

thanks for the input. I really don't want to drop the cardio. I guess being out of shape and the weight gain (60 lbs in the last year) are harder on me than I realized. I never intended to get this out of shape (use to run 20-30 miles per week but that was 20 years ago). I'm realizing I'm just...

If I drop the cardio then I'll have to go to a 6 day upper/lower split in order to get the exercise necessay to burn enough calories for BF loss. I'm eating 6X daily but you are right in that I might have to slightly increase calories (fat?) above maintenance in order to supply enough energy...

I need more cardio than just the off days. I do the cardio on an empty stomach but I'm not too sure that it really matters from personal experience. I read on some site that it's better to put 8 hrs between workouts and cardio done on workout days but it doesn't seem to help me. I've never tried...

You have greater exercise tolerance than me- I've tried just doing cardio on off days but that only leaves 3 days of cardio and that's just not enough in the shape I'm in. thanks for the response.

Hey there Jake. Thanks for responding. My current cycle is standard 2 weeks ea of 1 x 15, 2 x 10, 3 x 5. Exercises are front squats, barbell rows, decline db press, db shoulder press, barbell curls, dips. This shouldn't be too much to handle but I do this routine without any wasted motion or...

Would like to hear from some of the older, experienced HST'ers (I'm 46) on managing fatigue. I'm new to HST,on my 3rd cycle of straight HST (full-body 3 X weekly) after laying off training for several years. I need to lose a good deal of bodyfat (290 lb, 36% BF) which means I need to do cardio...

Thanks for the help.

Would someone please provide the link to the download for the tweaking e-book. thanks.

Anyone have any information/anecdotal evidence on BMR and weight loss stall? I'm 290 lbs, LBM of 188(built like a powerlifter). All the BMR calculations establish my BMR around 2,500 kcal, yet I'm eating several hundred calories under most days. I was wondering if there is a stall point at which...
