im starting HST hypertrophy-specific training on tuesday

[coolcolj]

it works though

That's why you have the deconditioning, otherwise light weights wouldn't work

i think long-distance running would hurt mass gains anyways, unless you ate an insane amount

I don't know, there are some pretty big people on my team

name me one successful bodybuider or powerlifter that runs long distance. i dont think there are any, but if there are, it'd be interesting to know who they are.

personally, running breaks me down. i lose a lot of weight, i'm sure a lot of it is LBM. i also lose tons of strength and it's hard on my knees. i could do it if i had to, i suppose.

but i wouldnt reccomend it to anyone if it goes against any strength/size goals they may have

I don't want to become a pro bodybuilder or anything like that, and anyways look at nclifter6feet6's thread and then look at his avatar

i know, and yes, nclifter has done some good work. i'm just saying, mass/strength gains aren't optimal, at least for most people, while running distances
