So i hit my year end maxes and it went surprisingly well. I had suspected since I didn't get much if any volume in between my last max that it wouldn't work out well but I was pleasantly wrong. I didn't hit my 1100 goal but I was pretty close minus some caveats. Squat 355/365 I had thought...

Sounds like a good plan. I like single training for singles, I feel I get more out of getting my body ready for the heavy weights than I do from a little extra hypertrophy work. Also yeah the site was down for a while for me too.

lol

How much weight do you plan to lose? It will be cool to see the physique change after like 10lbs. Edit: I'd post pics but I have a bunch of videos already posted in my training log and no one wants to see my paunchy physique (except my wife).

Been feeling like garbage. Plenty of real life going on... Unless something changes pretty drastically I won't be hitting any PRs but such is life.

The flu sucks. Heal up and get back to it.

I mean this in all sincerity, I hope your plan works. If it doesn't though, don't give up. Come back to this thread and start asking some questions, get some feedback, follow the advice (even if it doesn't make sense at the time) and you will make improvements. If you're open to feedback at...

I'd guess you should be able to add 2.5kg to your max in 8 weeks even with just doing a single rep per workout. I'd also imagine you could probably put on 10kg on your max if you trained properly but whatevs.

Good to see you active again @Totentanz

Month end maxes went ok but I expected more. Squat: Went ok, I had hit 345 for 3 singles on the Wednesday before and it felt great. I thought by Monday I'd be primed for 350 so I decided to add another 5lbs just for fun. Anyways, its ok but not my greatest rep. Bench: Went well, I am...

Sorry for not understanding HST, I hope you get ripped. Like @mickc1965 says tho, why not just post your full program and get a critique.

Hmm, that's all you took away from my post? Simply put if you can do a 5x5 @60kgs then next week you add weight. You may get a 5,4,3,3,3 once you go up, then the week after you get a 5,5,4,3,3 and then a 5,5,5,3,2 etc. Well keep working at it until you get a 5x5 at the new weight, then add...

Wow I thought @Old and Grey pretty much summed this up at the beginning. But here we are with the 15th reply. @Mikael Eriksson if you are determined to use 1rms for training don't foresake higher volume (higher reps lower intensity) but you could use something like this for your compound lifts...

@mickc1965 Hmm, have you done any rehab work on it? I'm no doctor but I find that kind of pain is usually muscle tightness causing tendon issues. I do this kind of stuff when mine starts hurting: Granted this doesn't solve the problem which usually takes some creativity to figure out what it...

@mickc1965 thanks for the feedback. What's wrong with your elbows btw?

Went in for my month end maxes and went just fine. I was especially happy considering I am 2lbs down from last month (hoping to continue that trend as you can see I am pretty fluffy). Squat was the worst of the three. I went for 345 and based on last month I expected to crush it, but instead...

I thought this was a pretty awesome video on how to evaluate differing levels of evidence.

Basically if you want to grow your arms you need to increase your volume. The more you can do per week the better off you are. Because you will need a lot of volume, you may need to reduce your intensity. Anyways, even though it is unlikely you could accomplish this, to make your best run you...

If you can bench 255 you must have a couple of years of training under your belt and you should know what you can accomplish. While it is entirely speculative I am going to say it is highly unlikely that you will achieve your goal. Why not just focus on your arms and let them grow?

I'm not as strong as you but yes I definitely feel the 5s near the end can build up a lot of fatigue and take a lot of time. I think most of us aren't running Vanilla HST but I am pretty sure most of us are still using a lot of its principles. Regarding warmups, everyone works a bit...
