How many of you have done this training method while on gear. I know most say lift heavy/grow big while on juice, although I was thinking that while on a short 6 week cycle this may work well, any experience please share.
If you check the HST forums, there are testimonials to HST. Blade, one of the mods on the forum, talks about how he did HST while on cycle. He came out of it with 12 lbs. LBM gain or something, I believe. I'll go dig up the link and edit, hold on.
"I gained about 10lbs on my first HST cycle. Maybe 2lbs of bodyfat, which I dieted off in the 15s of my 2nd HST cycle. It should be noted that I reached my top condition last year doing a few 2on/4off cycles of AAS. On my first HST cycle, strength AND lbm surpassed my androgen-assisted condition, something that convinced me that this...in the words of Jules...is the dog's bollox
My 2nd HST cycle I experienced a net gain of 15lbs, AAS-assisted. Mid-cycle I was up 25lbs. Strength gains were scary, although I stayed in the 8-12rep range to avoid overloading the tendons/connective tissue/joints. Now into 5s post-cycle, I'm amazed at how much I've gained, not to mention retained strength and bodymass off-cycle. It should be noted that due to various personal problems (economical, break-up of long-term relationship etc) I didn't eat well. Also, I traveled a lot so had to make-do with gyms of all varieties. I kept losing weight and strength, then gaining it back in accordance with "normalization" of stress factors, which should be expected As mentioned I was up 25lbs mid-cycle, but ended up at a net gain of 15lbs. I'm currently 255lbs, around 8%bf at 6' and intended to compete this year, but due to everything bad that's been happening to me lately I haven't been able to focus...so I might or might not. We'll see. "
So you know exactly what weight you will be lifting for 6 weeks? You don't increase your weight just because you can do 15 reps easily? You never move up in weight or reps from what you are capable of from day 1 through out the cycle,

any stimulus plus juice=growth..different styles of training may yield higher lbm gains..personally i would no start a cycle with a new routine i would want to know how my body reacts to that style of training naturally..
This is true although my normal routine consist of 1 muscle a day 5 days a week which only gives 6 possible growths in 6 week cycle and wanted to try and hit muscles 12-18 times throughout 6/8 weeks
