I have done a full body routine on Mon/Wed/Fri for the past couple of years, and have enjoyed the results. Would cutting back to only twice per week have that negative an effect? I'm not looking to...

I like to alternate bodyweight exercises with weights. In this case, I'd alternate the pullup/row with either one arm rows or cable rows.

What's your opinion on incorporating both of these exercises on back day? ( By pullup/rows - I'm referring to the bodyweight exercise where you lay underneath the bar and pull yourself up toward it)....

Mean Machine,

For quite a while I was also unable to squat or deadlift due to a knee operation. I have a multi-station home gym, and as much as I neglected it before, I replaced the freeweight...

How necessary do you feel it is to include dips when already doing pushups and DB presses? Do they augment one another, or is it a case of overkill?

Good info. Thanks.

Has anyone tried these? What is your opinion on them? I'd like to add a variation to my chest workout, and these simulate the action of a dumbbell press (if you rotate your hands on the way up and...

I'm wondering if it's a good idea to include a couple egg whites in my protein shakes, which I always make with whey powder. Or would it be more beneficial to eat the egg whites at a different time...

Very well stated. It's kind of like the old 'juiced ball' reports in baseball. Of course these studies were conducted by Major League Baseball, so those who already had their minds made up used that...

Hey ktj4l,

Glad to see that you're still into this HST thing. Regarding the isolation stuff - I feel your pain. I'm wrapping up my second cycle and have already decided to cut out direct bicep and...

Alright ktj! Are you planning on keeping a workout journal? If not, I'm interested in hearing how you like HST so keep us posted on this after you finish your first cycle.

I responded to one of...

^^bump, 'cuz I'm curious about this too.

Ditto on this question. I've actually been doing these with a triceps extension apparatus, shown here:

Thanks, Zachariya. ATrainer sent me a private message yesterday and offered to send the clip to my e-mail address.

....no one...?...Bueller...?

The only exercises I'm alternating right now are those two - squat and deadlift. But I also have a knee issue. You might be able to get away with doing both, but again I just feel you'd burn out....

ktj,

I'm currently in my second HST cycle, after really enjoying the first one. I have a master plan which I've been sticking to, and here it is. I believe it's more beneficial to repeat the same...

Anyone try these Ab-originals? How did (or do) you feel about them? Specifically, I'd like to try the ATrainer ab exercise. I'm already aware of the thread regarding his ab workout, but it can be...

If I could only choose one type of exercise equipment it would definitely be dumbbells. And yes, you can get a full workout from them. However, in a perfect world you'd have a barbell with more...

Obviously in your case you have to be especially mindful of the effects of all these crazy supplements out there. Your workouts are probably giving that ticker of yours as much of a pump as it needs....
