The eBook tells the whole story of GST, but in a nutshell, I broke it out to the public over 3 years ago. I developed it from experiences and concepts that I've used in my own training and my clients' training over the past decade though.
Thanks for asking a great question,

Ah crap, I thought I had answered his question too.....lol. I'm so used to answering questions in this thread
'No problemo' retracted!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to eat my deli made Reuben sandwich with an added 3oz of angus roast beef (from the deli as well). They were laughing at me when I bought the angus and told them to put it on the sandwich. The ladies behind the counter loved ittrainingwithryan.substack.com

Wellness, I read through most of the old GST thread and still have a couple of questions that I hope you can answer about your program.
My first questions is: Is "AMRAP" another way to phrase "to failure"? If it is, you are suggesting to go to failure on each last set? I was under the impression that going to failure each week makes it harder for your CNS to recover making it difficult to progressively increase the weight each week; which leads me to my next question…
After we record our numbers on the first microcycle(sets/reps/weight) how do we go about progressing? Do we just try to beat the previous microcycle? Additionally is there a scheduled de-load period? and lastly how many micro cycles in one MACRO cycle?
forgive me if some of these questions have been answered already, and thanks for all your help and support, you seem really dedicated!"Sorry babe, not with the lights on this month. I'm bulking."

See Bold. Thanks for the post and questions. I can tell that you need to read more, but there are still no 'dumb' questions IMO. You have an interest in working with my program, and I support you because of that. Remember, to start GST correctly, visit www.growthstimulustraining.com/trial.pdf and use the free start up guide.
As far as being dedicated, this is what I do for a living. I'm a career trainer who has been serious about what I do for over a decade now....if I were to stop training and eating with reason, I'd go insane!
Thanks again for posting,

Thanks sir! I really love hearing that my writing is engaging to the reader.
I take my customer service seriously, even to those who aren't technically customers. Everyone is a potential candidate for the full GST experience, so I'll always treat you well.
Care to lay out your fresh Press Day?
Thanks again for using GST,

Oh man, what a brutal workout. Macro 6, micro 1, squat day. Last macro (#5) I did 205lb x 18 on the squat. Mind you, these are low-bar barbell back squats beyond parallel. I was going for a widowmaker (x21 reps) but fell 3 short. I slightly tweaked my # for squats so that I would workout with same weight yesterday, 205lb. I cheated a bit and had a longer rest between my sets, but managed to do 205lb x 21. The last rep must've been ugly, and as Rippetoe had sort of suggested, towards the end of it I did see Jesus talking to me.

Gains!!
Hey there Ryan. You set up a program for me at the beginning of Oct. I've been meaning to tell you how it's been going but life happens. The training's been going GREAT! I really like the program, it's like an improved and more focused version of what I have done in the past. I'm really happy with the gains I've made and I've found your formula for calculating 1RM surprisingly accurate. After Macro 1 my max's have increased as follows:
DeadLift: 465 to 500
BenchPress:345 to 370
Squat: 365 to 465
Pullups: 345 to 370
Some big gains for about 5wks of work! I started getting back into working out in general (after a 6yr hiatus) about 2 months before I started GST and everything but squat was past that initial big gain but that was the first time I'd squatted so part of that 100lbs can be attributed to muscle memory. Still some great progress for the timeframe! My goal is a 1500lb total for the big 3, so just 165lbs to go!
I've combined this workout with almost a GOMAD diet (5gal/wk), getting at least 4k calories a day and have put on about 25lbs and maybe 1% BF if that in 2 months! I'll keep bulking through the winter and then be cutting down to 10-12% BF in the spring. So I'm super happy with how things have been going and I'll keep you updated as I go. Thanks a bunch!
Jeremy

I love this program and I'm on my 6th macro, but those #s you posted are just... difficult to fathom, both your lift #s and putting on only 1% fat--unless you're a genetic exception. But even then, 25lb over 2 months with only 1% bodyfat is just impossible. If you actually did that, and I doubt you did it, you would be the world's superhero.

This is not directed at anyone, but at everyone. I'm extremely proud of the fact that in all of the last thread's 10,000 posts, there were only a few that contained negativity or criticism toward others or myself.
In short, I'd appreciate if this thread lived up to that same standard.
Thanks everyone!trainingwithryan.substack.com

I can understand the skepticism. Much of the weight I gained was legs. I've been dealing with an injury for the past 6yrs or so that had me many times on a cane and as a result my legs did some serious atrophying. Even then I thought I would gain more fat than I have. The 2 months is a bit of an estimate but it's no more than 10wks.
The lift numbers are nothing really that new to me. I've deadlifted 500, benched 365, and squatted 435 in the past before my injury. So these aren't gains I expect to be making again, it'll be slow and steady I imagine here on out.
As far as genetics go... I used to be an all state linebacker and a D1 prospect. And being big and seriously strong does run in the family. Lots of college athletes. My uncle played college football and set some state (TX) records (745lb DL) in powerlifting at the time. I try to keep the glasses on and the S hidden.Last edited by BeardedHulk; 12-09-2012 at 03:00 PM.

The lift #s I can say 'alright, perhaps.' The bodyfat % is just out of this world. I'm not sure how you're measuring it but it's just physically impossible to gain 25lb in 10 weeks and only add 1% bodyfat. Again, if you can do that, you can become one of the most famous people in this world because that's just absolutely insane, even if you're 18 and a genetic freak.
But the program is awesome and fun. For the past two macros I've been telling myself I'm going to switch to a different program for the next 5-6 months, but I don't have the stomach to leave this program! So I start another macro and say 'alright, maybe at the end of this macro.' Then that macro ends and I say 'ok, just 1 more...' It's like a drug!
