Changes.

I've decided I'm sick of doing Starting Strength. I've increased all my lifts substantially while my body has continued to look basically the same. This is to be expected. Strength training in the five rep range results in myofibrilar hypertrophy.

So starting tomorrow I will be starting Hypertrophy Specific Training (HST). I'll spend the next week figuring out my 15, 10 and 5 rep maxes on a variety of exercises and then I will take two weeks off from all lifting (I plan to continue some low intensity cardio during this time).

Afterward, I will begin an HST cycle. You can learn more here.

So that's it.. hopefully I will see some noticeable change in physique and in January I'll start cutting with Lyle McDonald's Ultimate Diet 2.0, a cyclical ketogenic diet. I will cut for four months and resume bulking in May of 2009.

Until next time.
