Has anyone tried it? If so, how do/ did you like the results?

I remember matt from sm or the terminator over at md using it for a while, i think he had some weight he wanted to lose and I guess the full-body workouts may help in that department. it's basically low volume high frequency , give it a shot, anything works at least for a while anyways

According to the website it's all science based and there are references. Check it out...

I used it years ago. It is great for a change in pace and training 3x week. People usually respond well to change. I liked doing it for about a 12 week run. You have to keep a log just like with DC to get the most out of it.

The principles used seem to be optimal for hypertrophy, I wonder why more people don't utilize these principles?

To be honest I had never really heard about it, untl you posted this thread.

I did the search and fond the website. I've been reading through it and it loks pretty good to me. Similar to the way I approach training now.

When I get a chance I'm gonna finish reading it try and put it all into place.

Thanks.

First looked at it years ago I've goen back and read about it a few times, never tried it though....

A coupel of years back their were people on the boards who use to follow it and they loved it.

A lot of it makes sense!

I tried it, didnt like it. It does makes sense, scientifically but it does get boring after a while.

hst is science-based applications to bodybuilding.

we would all be performing some approximations to hst if-
we we're a bit more discriminate of our training, accepted science, and relied less on anabolics.

It all read like pseudo-science to me. I say the reason no one knows or CARES about it, is because the BASICS WORK!

Essentially IS the basics. The biggest natural I've ever seen uses it.

I've been doing it for the past few weeks now - but going back to my split bodypart. It is hard to do when you go to a main stream gym where people take their time on one equipment. I do think its a great routine to change things up once in a while.
