    Considering Using Myo Reps For The Majority Of Volume, Thoughts?

    I am following the more conventional rep scheme for HST each for two weeks progressing each week; 3x15, 4x10, 5x5, 6x2. However I am also doing conservative maxing on my Deadlift. Now this has been working just fine but due to my schedule I haven't made it to the 5x5 and 6x2 block. So what I...

    2 Week Experiment

    So I recently moved back to HST after primarily focusing on SST for about half a year. The first cycle is over 5/8s done and going great. I plan on continuing HST well into January, but I have a little situation. Right at the end of this cycle I am leaving for two weeks to go on a volunteer...

    Heading Back To Hst, Feedback Appreciated

    If you follow my training long you may have noticed my year end lifts didn't go as planned. There were a few circumstances that lead to this but what it comes down to is I want to move back to a program that doesn't constantly have high intensities, work on some of my beauty muscles and take...

    Your Thoughts: Beer Causes Moobs And Steals Our Gains

    One of the news channels I follow had a piece about how beer can give you moobs because the hops contains phytoestrogen. I have noticed when I partake daily that after a few weeks it appears to have this affect on me. I had always figured it was just the extra calories. I googled around to...

    Silly Question?

    So at the beginning of this year I moved from HST to DUP, coincidentally I have gotten sick 3 times since January. Each of the colds/flus/whatever have been different and I have known the people that had them before me. What is odd is that I have not ever gotten sick 3 times in such a short...

    Second Run Of Rfl

    Recently I've moved over to DUP (though it's basically HST with a a reoccurring progressive zig-zag, but I digress) and I've smashed some PRs. All of my former 1rms are now my 5rms, too bad along with all those gains came a decent amount of fat. For a while I was actually looking better than...

    Looking For A Hamstring Excersie With No Low Back Involvement

    So my low back is pretty fatigued doing both Deads and Squats each session but I feel my Hamstrings could handle a little more volume. I do like doing RDLs but I would need to cut out some of my Deadlift volume and I am not particularly interested in that. So what I would like is a good...

    Thoracic Extension, Weird Pop

    So I've been working on my thoracic extension and working on my posture. It's been going great and my shoulders, chest and neck have all been improving. Sometimes though when I do thoracic extension stretches I get this pop from the middle of my chest. it feels fine, even good, like when you...

    Starting My First Run Of Rfl Soon

    So I am planning on starting a short run of RFL on Monday, Nov 11th and I will do my first run throughout the workweek and end it Friday the 14th. If it isn’t too hard on me I may restart the following Monday. This will be my first time so any extra insight/suggestions/criticisms would be...

    Body Alignment/posture

    So I recently went to a massage therpist/physio and she let me know I am pretty jacked up (she's only in my area three times a year). Hips are out of alignment, overly tight psoas on one side, neck and shoulder pain/tightness. I have the book "Supple Leopard" by Kelly Starett which is great...

    Thinking of trying a Keto diet/carb cycling

    So I have been off of lifting for about 2 months in preparation for a 10k (which overall has been a fail, but that's another story). So far I have lost 10lbs and I am thinking of doing another 5-10lbs (maybe more if it keeps up this easy). Certainly some of it is muscle which makes me a little...

    Training for a 10k

    So my wife and some friends are going to do a 10k at the end of September and I thought it would be fun to do it too. I am about 2 weeks into training (using the couch to 10k program) and I have essentially paused my lifting workouts. If you have seen my training logs I just finished 1 year of...
