Please Cut Up Roofus

Pharmaceutical grade is going to be manufactured at a higher level of quality than ordinary fish oils. It's a fairly new product but more and more companies are adding a line. I've used both and IMHO you're getting more than the difference in what you pay for with a pharmaceutical grade. Everyone's different, though, maybe your dad has a sample size you can test out for him.

I like Health From The Sun also. They do a good job of hitting up the entire spectrum.

I am on week 9 of 10 of my 5x5. So I would like to start planning my next routine, and I wanted you guys advice.

I should finish the 5x5 on the 19th of June, and then for the next 4-5 weeks I would like to focus primarily on biceps, lats, and abs.

So what excersizes would you guys suggest?

Thanks!

I had a 3-point body fat done tonight. I wasn't planning on doing this until my goal date of mid-July. If you remember, last July is when I started back to the gym and was 25%bf. My goal was to hit 12% in 12 months. Well they were doing body composition tonight, so I figured I might as well see where I was at, and how much I had to go till my deadline of mid-July. I checked out at 12.2%bf! Woot! I'm ahead of schedule. It might just be able to hit below my goal by mid-July. I was very happy!

screw numbers... although it's good motivation in the right direction for ya.

How's the mirror look? As long as your happy and on track... keep kickin' ass!

Mirror looks fine. But still barely showing abs...in the right light. I'm not finished until I'm ab'ing it up. But definitely good numbers. I think it really helps the mental aspect of the work knowing that you are seeing some progress.

Check my post about my next routine. I should finish the current one in 10 days, and I need to have something prepared.

Thanks for the encouragement!

Roofus, I'd go to the Weightlifting Forum and click on the Training Information Vault sticky near the top of the page. The section you probably want is called: HST Training.

It would be a serious mistake to concentrate on just a few areas of your physique and ignore the rest. Your entire musculature is interconnected. If you ignore one part, you're hurting the whole. Just like a tree- you can water one part, but if the rest of the tree were to be deprived somehow it would die.

HST is designed for hypertrophy, or muscle growth. It will show you how to set up a balanced cycle that will be of maximum benefit to your gym progress. If you want to concentrate on some specific areas by all means do so. Just make sure you don't ignore the rest. After you read through the program take a look at journals posted by EF members in the HST section. You'll be able to see how some of our members have applied the program. I'm sure if you had a specific question you needed answered about HST they'd be happy to answer if you sent a PM.

Awesome! Thanks!
