I first read about holding back from Charles Staley and Pavel Tsatsouline. Your nervous system takes a lot longer to recover from failure training than the muscular system, so keeping the reps 1 or 2 shy of failure allows the muscles to be worked more often and the weights are more likely to...

Monstar, lets stick to a program ok? J/K, but you'll find that things always look interesting at first, but the real test is what happens a few months down the road. Of course, I'm willing to bet that you're holding onto 30lbs. of chub. I'm sure that doing more work will help, but think about...

It starts to become a pain in the ass when if you find out that you've got a fast twitch chest and slow twitch tris along with slow twitch delts. On deadlifts...

I'm going to disagree with DOMS being an indicator of growth. It can be an indicator or irritation if a muscle hasn't adapted to the training stimulus, or it could be that the muscle was overworked. I like using total workload as a measure of progress. I did full body routines 3 times a week...

You're gonna need more volume than HIT can give you. I think using a wave loading program would result in better gains, since HIT's top mind(Brian Johnston) recommends multiple sets for hypertrophy. I also don't believe in training to failure as I've gotten bigger and stronger while staying away...

Monstar(this is the michael jordan cartoon movie guys, right?) you aren't eating nearly enough protein. I've been reading your old thread on the serious growth training. And, surprise, Xenadrine will suppress your appetite. I have this feeling that if you don't cycle the intensity of this...
