I'm currently on HST and already have finished the 15's. Next week i'm going into 10's. The routine i use is the following: Routine A ...........................Routine B Squat ................................Front Squat Ham curls............................Goodmornings Incline Bench...

Don't get disssapointed man because if you get dissapointed being so strong so young what should we do that started out too late?? :) I'm into martial arts my self and i think that you did very good job about strength and maybe it's time now to devote to some specific speed work... Maybe you...

Thanks both!! I'll keep it up untill i stall (i reckon on squats i have one more week or so left in my tank)...then i'll go into an HST cycle to let my knees and tendons (my left arm starts showing pain from the chin ups) heal a bit...and then i'll try rippetoes advanced routine or the 5x5...

i'm a complete newbie but i treat flyes as an accesory movement and i find it useless just for one reason...They dont fit into any decend program unless you're spending half of your lifetime in a gym... maybe a set of flyes could fit in in a cutting routine or on a heavy deloading phase to...

That's what bores me in gyms...they're crowded...so i've decided to set up my own eqquipment on the basement and i'm a happy man now...:) So i see you 've made the 255 in bench...keep it up!!

I've been on rippetoes 3x5 for a while and i'm considering in a couple of weeks to change into HST to let my joints heal a bit and also train in a bit higher rep range just to change things up ... I've read HST principles but i need somebody to clarify on progression... Let's say i have a...

From the information i've found i came to understand that small increments enhance strength while larger increments promote hypertrophy... So i think this is not such a big deal as long as weight goes up...is that correct or this is something that can render the 3x5 routine useless ?

hello again...just another question... i've reached now at 93kgs on squat and for the past few workouts on squat, benchpress and military presses, i found that i was more comfortable with a 1kg increase instead of the recommended 2,5kgs. Do you think i should deload and follow strictly the...

From what i've read you can do some brisk walking on an incline treadmill for 20 mins but presonally on my off days i train martial arts and still feel ok. (except that once in a while i take a week off from martial art training and lots of sleep) go as you feel is proper for you. for maximal...

i beat my self up this Sunday! After 3 pr's on squat (+1,5kg), bench press(+1kg) and deadlift (+2,5kg) i felt great but sore as hell! I immediately decided to eat everything i could get my hands on and get a good night sleep but those measures didn't seem to help much. Today i still feel my...

Three videos this time...i didn't include dips ... Actually this session was quite hard as i had a rough Fore Night partying with some friends! First excersise - Squat ... Upped 2,5 kg from previous session Warm up sets 1min rest: 50kg:8, 60kg:5, 70kg:3, 80kg:2 Working Sets 2,5min rest...

Well you are right.This is my home basement and i have a very limited height. I am 183 cm and the ceiling is 200cm. But i'll try to keep my knees higher and get as low as i can on chins. As a matter of fact if you watch the video closely enough you'll see my hair brushing the ceiling... :) As...

well i'm actually quite skinny and i wouldn't mind gaining some size. Actually my current weight is 81kgs and i'm hoping to get to 90kgs but that's not my main goal. I'm more interested in strength gains as i also practice in martial arts. I'm not a vicious guy but when i spar I want to kick...

Thanks for the answer skyflyer...i was starting to get dissapointed :) You're right about flexibility on squats...can't get any lower without rounding my back... But what about those "pendalay rows"... I thought that i should drop weight and do them in a strictier form. What do you think? do i...

anybody? at least any comment on the squat! is form ok? Is the depth ok or should i strive to get lower? although i feel i can't get any lower without rounding my back...
