I have the samething sometimes, I suspect it might have something to do with my nervous system being stessed by coming close to failure and not having enough time to rest, but this is just an uneducated guess. I would like to know what someone with more experience thinks though.

Massive gains personally. I'm new to working out so I expected gains no matter what, but 15+ lbs of gains is impressive. I have about 7 months of weight lifting experience total and started HST about 2 months ago, including finding RM's and the SD after that. I don't have any measurements from...

good stuff, much thanks for the info dkm. so would max speed during the concentric's affect "strength" or motor activation more than actual hypertrophy?

I'm wondering about rep speed. a friend who does powerlifting was recommending ALWAYS going as fast as possible on concentric contraction while paying attention to form and then going slow on the return. but in the FAQ's for the 10's and 15's they say you should go slower when the weight is...

well, I just started working out about 6 months ago, and only got serious about 1 month ago. Now I go to the gym 3 times a week, for about 1-2 hours at a time with a training partner. 6'1 was 155 with >5%bf and 12'' arms, now 165 with 9%bf and 15'' arms, but still very skinny. I will start...
