Training for Bodybuilding

I'm off to read about dual factor hypertrophy training now.

For a guy who's into science -- check out HST. http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/hst_index.html

Yeah, cause all those Eastern Europeans that started what we now know as WSB and DFHT weren't into thinking, or anything weird like that.

How can you overload the muscle with one set of squats per workout. I follow the theory behind what he's saying, but in reality, can you really break the muscle down from 1 set of 10 rep squats 3 times per week?

Of course I can't answer for Casual, but I have tried many programs and Im currently in my second week of HST so hopefully at the end of the 8 week cycle (and during it) I can provide some feedback on this type of training.

Eh, I'm just being ornery.

There's a s**tload of science behind WSB. VladImir M. Zatsiorsky, Siff, Verkhoshansky, M.S. Shakirzyanov, etc...

I think you misunderstood me...I never meant to claim that WSB isn't based on science. Quite the opposite, it's probably how I would train if I were training for strength.

I put on 18 pounds pretty quickly (4 months). At that point I got a little cocky and thought I had the diet thing down when I kinda didn't. Since then it's been me not-really-bulking and not-really-cutting, just kinda maintaining weight. This time I'm doing it right since I have the luxury of being at home with a lot of food available. It was really hard to overeat on my allotted 3 dorm meals a day.

Vinyl - yeah you can get by on 1 set. 1 set isn't mandated. Some guys do 2-3. I personally do 1 because I've found 2 burns me out.

There is no reason why bodybuilding training can't be cycled and periodised
