Yes, i did it only once, i liked the results both strength and mass even tough i didnt it as i planned because of unexpected injuries. I really plan to do it again, but i want to focus on other goals for a while first.
i never understood how people could see strength gains on it. your only supposed to end at or about your max at the end of each rep cycle so how would you even know you got stronger from it

I dont see why you have to end on your previous max. Actually i didnt even test my max, i planned to finish with a weight that i thought i could achieve, and then started lighter and added weight each time. In the higher reps i even added 2 extra workouts because i felt i could keep adding weight.
The original idea is that each time you start over a new cycle you finish with a heavier weight for each rep range than the last cycle.
If you keep reapeting the same weights each cycle you will waste your time. Also, people misunderstand the program, thinking its about lifting light weights, its more about starting with some room to progression but ending pretty much intense.
Look on google, two pdf books about HST, it will answer your questions a lot better, since my experience on it is limited.
Internet wars are retarded. Splits or Total body? Get to the gym and lift. If you can only get to the gym 3x/week, you’d better be doing TBT though I think. If you can do 4x or more you’ve a choice.
I think most people find periods of their life where it’s hard to get to the gym even 3x/week. If you’re in that position, you’d probably choose TBT, right?
And why do people keep thinking that TBT completely eliminates isolation work? Certainly the program Waterbury calls TBT doesn’t do that.

yea i guess you could always just keep going farther than the 2 weeks per rep range.
I swear, more people get bitchy over training ideologies than religion.
Do both split training and full-body training cycles work? Uh, yeah. Do they both work forever? Nope.
Best bet?
Do both, find which one works for you, don’t be a douche and knock a training method which works for someone. That’s called “hating,” and requires one to drink an excess of “haterade.”
