I was wondering, how is Bryan's theory percieved by other scientists? Do they agree usually, are there areas of disagreement on such and such point?

You're a scientist is what area?[b said:Quote[/b] (navigator @ Dec. 24 2005,12:20)]Well, I'm a scientist and I believe in the principles of HST. So much so that I wrote several articles about HST.
Lately, I've been trying other types of training, and the most striking difference that I've noticed is that with HST I measure growth in lbs whereas with other programs I measure growth in tenths of a lb.
Well, physiologically I question how much validity there is to the damage before hypertrophy hypothesis. I also question the hypothesis that tension is the prime stimulus, not that I question tension's role as key but I think a metabolic stimulus has to be present as well and some times this gets ignored.[b said:Quote[/b] (Heavy Duty dude @ Dec. 24 2005,3:49)]And what are your own thoughts?[b said:Quote[/b] ]

I'm just trying to get some educated guesses on HST. I'm not criticizing it in any way. Doing science is tough and I know that criticizing is very easy.

[b said:Quote[/b] ]I have, for lack of better words, concerns on how it's been interpreted by many who apply it. For instance, Bryan has again and again said use the MOST volume you can handle that doesn't interfere with frequency, yet again and again I see people say that one set is sufficient

Its gets your attention and interest and hopefully like myself you will tune in and start reading the fundamentals and principals and that in turn will help you understand Hypertrophy better
Nav is a physicist, I believe.[b said:Quote[/b] (Heavy Duty dude @ Dec. 24 2005,4:50)]You're a scientist is what area?[b said:Quote[/b] (navigator @ Dec. 24 2005,12:20)]Well, I'm a scientist and I believe in the principles of HST. So much so that I wrote several articles about HST.
