A vegetarian? what do you take me for?

Nice hair gesar.

Yeh, the fish oil contains more EPA and DHA. But less Omega 6 which I don't get a lot from my diet. Thanks for your response.

I supplement my diet with Udo's choice but have recently changed to molecurlarly distilled fish oil. Which is the better choice?

EOD? thanks

This is slightly off topic. Everyone here seems to be off the opinion that a calorie is a calorie and that the total calories consumed will determine the fat/musclegain ratio. Does eating a diet which is low in EFA's and high in GI meals encourage more fat gain than a diet which is high in...

So you would say that mon, wed, fri is better than 5x a week for bulking? Then its no contest! Cheers

Not many 'dirty' diets have high levels of vitamins, minerals and EFA's. In fact, most are staggeringly deficient

Hey, I'v been using HST for a short while and 1 set per exercise works absolutely brilliant for me, maybe thats just HST I completely ignore the total rep number and have been getting great results. Perhaps that is because I am relatively new to HST and I'm setting new pb's and a more...

hey i just wanted to see what the consesus is on best exercises for each muscle group, I think I know what most people in this forum would agree on and it might answer some noobies (including me) questions. Best exercises Whole body deadlifts Legs squats back weighted...

You need to re-read the theory behind HST. After your SD (strategic deconditioning) you muscles will be suitably deconditioned to the training stimulus and consequently a 'light' load will be sufficient to produce a growth stimulus. ps yeah you feel a bit silly sometimes with the first weights...

I was under the impression it was recommended on this site to do negatives to a 2-3 second tempo rather than 4?

Its no contest, stick with dumbells - You train each side of your body equally, your dominant arm doesn't take over - Better for stabilisers and synergists - YOU can do more weight! - It doesn't hurt! The best exercise for HST is the one that lets you put the most load on your arms, try...
