not to hijack the thread, but could you clarify how to do the bench press correctly?

some interesting sleep info for ya also: Before the invention of the light bulb, people averaged 10 blissful hours of sleep per night. Some experts believe every hour of lost sleep leads to a drop of one IQ point. Two or more points are lost if another hour is skipped. kinda scary eh?

good stuff vicious, this board is a better place for having you and I can't thank you enough for the help you've given me. cheers mate!

another noob question, what is bloat exactly?

I'd be tempted to say yes it could be muscle. I am almost finished my 1st cycle of HST and I went from about 160lbs to 174lbs in 6 weeks with the same level of bodyfat, even though I ate everything in sight my abs are more visible than before. I'm pretty sure I made muscle gains because before...

no kidding! someone ENJOYING ziggy?

thanks for reading, I have made some pretty dang good gains so far, about 10-15lbs in 1 cycle but I wonder about my intensity. I read one of vicious's post stating that once you cant sustain the same rep speed you are close to failure and should stop, but I'm too stubborn/stupid to do so. I...

wow this is dang exciting, I have almost finished 1 cycle of HST now, and I'm still a total BB noob. I've worked out halfassed for about 6 months or so before I started HST, and my noob gains was about 5lbs of muscle, from 155lbs to 160lbs, but after 1 cycle of HST I'm now 174 lbs with slightly...

I think he means growing an inch taller, not his arms.

well I'm completly new to lifting and I am in my last 2 sets of the 5's, so 3 weeks left on my 1st plan and I SD. I gotta say I have made very good gains. Everyone who knows me says I am alot bigger already. I have been training half assed in martial arts since I was 7, but only body weight...

well I took 2 days off for work so I rested up. I will lower the volume a bit, but I plan on working out 4-5 times a week now. It could just be my perception, but I feel bigger than I was just 2 weeks ago already. I did a little scratching on testosterone levels and I fit the FBI profile of...

oops, I found Capitolcitykids frequency post and onemorerep's topic on frequency also, answered most of my questions. I do still wonder about my recovery ability though, since to be honest I worked very close to failure on back-pullups, dumbbell-incline-bench, Arnie-press, and preacher curls 3...

so I havent felt sore for the last 2 weeks doing 3x a week, fullbody workouts so I decided to try something stupid...do 1 weeks worth of workouts in 3 days. I am growing like the staypuff marshmellow man in Ghostbusters so there was no real reason, but I was coerced into going to the gym on...

ok, some of these are really low but I have excuses! I have been working out for about 8 months now and I'm still pretty small, was 155lbs, now 170 with 6-8% bodyfat(thanks to HST). squat: 200 (not actual 5RM, new to squats, going light) chinups: 30 cable rows: 160 dumbell flatbench: 150...

I know OG does am-pm splits like 5x a week...I just started doing the same myself. so far so good but to early for progress reports. btw I'm in Ottawa myself, I have converted about 5 guys at my gym to HST too already no geese yet tho...

shirt or not thats some massive weight there. These guys train hard and have some serious dedication to do that. personally I'd like to see what these guys can do raw but if the contest allows shirts then you'd have to be foolish to not use one. btw this guy is kinda strong too...

so in summary: -proper form is what matters more then squat depth? -squat depth makes a difference in what muscle groups are worked? -a deeper squat will fill out your @$$? I still wonder about the knees over the toes part though, you are saying letting your knees rock forward a little...

the simple answer? from "what increments to use article" from your post see it yet? the increment from 15lbs to 20 is WAAAAY more than 5%... sooooooo, your increments are to large!

its a short version of me fine Irish last name , and has NOTHING to do with McDonalds. I hate McDonalds food, utter crap. vent over :)

so something like this OG? or should I seperate the Arnies and the incline benches more? squats: chinups: dips: inclinebench: arnie press: rows: tandem cable backlifts: shrugs: preacher curls: nope, thank god, no kids (that I know of ) I may be 30 but I'm still a kid...
