I really gotta learn how to cut from you, man. I prefer a previous fatty to teach me how to cut rather than other high metabolic human that're genetically gifted

Lol, just control diet only... since you're a keto person, your dieting ability should be much better than mine. when i tried keto... i couldn't make it pass day 6. too much great tasting carbs out there...

HST Cycle 2. Week 1 Training 3. 06/07/07


I recently bought Nutrex Vitargo CGL (post workout drink) just to give it a try.
Drank one serving post workout.. it might have been psychological or not.. but 3 seconds after my first sip, i felt... refreshed...
me first time taking a post workout drink... left a good impression with me. now to see the results of it when i finish the tub...

u definitely got bigger
but because u were more defined previously, u probably look smaller to yourself. It's some kinda psychology thing.

Not gonna cut yet eh?

Nope.. don't think i will cut yet... i'll only cut when i can't fit into my pants, reach 80 kgs or when i think i look too damn fat and i can't take it anymore.. lol.

Was sick from Sunday.. so stayed home and skipped training on Monday... so tooday's workout is to replace monday's training.
Sigh.. hate being sick.

HST Cycle 2 Week 1-2 Workout 5. 13/7/07



Grip work so far with 100lbs gripper:
20 reps on right hand
20 reps on left hand

Reverse grip work with 100lbs gripper
10 reps on right hand
5 reps on left.
(need to balance it out...)

i tried the 150lbs gripper. only manage to close one rep with my right hand. left hand is 1mm shy of closing.

need more training!

I just got off the weighing scale. t says i'm 68.4kgs. prolly heavier since i just had dinner...
but it went up! w00t!

HST Cycle 2 Week 3-4 Workout 1 18/7/07
THis is phase 2 of cycle 2. only 5 reps per set.

hmmmmmmm....... i tot HST has a higher rep range like 8-12?

there are 3 varieties actually...
5, 10 and 15...

The usual ranges set for newbies are 15,10 and 5. the more advanced users can adapt to 15, 12, 10, 8, 5 reps. something like that...

HST Cycle 2, Week 3-4 Training 5. 27 July 2007

Feeling very tired now... i tried to overtrain a lil bit since i will be flying off to bali for a holiday... so i have some extra time to recover

Got back from holiday in Bali... surprisingly my weight stayed the same as before i left when i came back. *phew* was so worried i'd put on lots of fats since i ate lots of "wrong" foods during the trip. heh heh.

anyway, training yesterday:
HST Cycle 2, week 3-4, training 6, 2/8/07

oooh... HST u buat 3 sets?
good, cos i was starting to think that 2 sets is a bit too little

but why sometimes u increase ur weight as you progress in sets?
i tot the only time u increse weight is on the next session?
e.g. 1st session = 50% of max weight, 2nd session = 60% of max weight.

thanks

The sets is actually up to you. it was recomended to do 1 set for the 5 rep max. but i rested and tried to dish out more... but as you can see, sometimes the 2nd or 3rd not are not succesful... as in only up to 3 reps..

I'm not 100% sure bout the second question.. but i think you're asking about it in the same training day right?
like the last sets on the calf press and the last workout?
if so its cos i didn't really feel like that was my real max for that day. felt as tho i could use heavier weights... so i just went ahead and added a couple more plates.
but you're actually right, should only increase the next session.

HST Cycle 2, weeks 5-6 Training 1, 6/8/2007

Lol neek , I realized that sometimes we can't really finish the reps that set by HST program la .

Eg, first set I can do 15 reps , 2nd set maximum I just reach 12reps ...

So it caused me have to tweak the rep range

first two week , 12-15reps then 8reps-12reps then only 5reps-7reps , then continue with 5reps max.
