Do you use the same weight for the 8 reps, and the 6 5 sec count negatives?
I had the chance to run some of the HRT training before when I had a steady training partner, but now find myself on my own in the gym. Great stuff!
Yes you use the same weight. Least that's what we did in OH when I ran a session with Rage.
On a side note, I'm gonna run HRT next week... I'm bringing the pain.

Lovin HRT, this is only my third time workin my arms and they already look bigger!
Triceps:
Cambered bar pushdowns- 120, 140
Lying Tricep Extension (these were pretty sloppy and will probably switch them out for a different tricep exercise next time) w/straight bar- 25 lbs. per side, x2
Underhanded wide grip bench press (awesome exercise but probably a dumb idea since i just hit chest on monday)- 155, 185
*stretch- 90 seconds
Biceps:
Barbell curl- 60 lbs. barbell, 70 lbs.
Alternating seated dumbbell curl- 30, 35
Preacher machine curl (had to check my ego on this one haha)- 45/35, 35/25 (i had to drop the weight for the negative reps on both sets)
*stretch- 70 seconds
Forearms:
Pinwheel Curls- 35, 40
Unilateral reverse grip cable curls (not sure if thats the name but these babies toasted my forearms) 25, 35
*stretch- 60 seconds

Yes. That is unless the weight was too easy or too hard then move up or down. Try to fail around the last couple negatives of the second set of each exerciese. THen you know you've picked the right weight for that particular lift.

Hey Rage, so I'm not understanding exactly I don't think. So basically your doing 14 positive reps but focusing on the negative during the last 6?
Finish 8 positive reps..then do 6 megative reps working primarily the negatives.

Are they measuring any larger? This is a fantastic mass builder routine.

unfortunately i have no real accurate way of measuring them, they definitely look larger to me though (hope its just not wishful thinking haha) i noticed improvements in my legs as well which is saying something cause they were by far my weakest body part. Also arms and legs were the only bodyparts that i've trained strictly HRT, i guess that just goes to show how legit this training method really is

How many consecutive weeks do you suggest running this, before changing/cycling off...??? Or, can this be run indefinitely, with just making changes in the exercises, every so often...???

In case anyone was wondering, here's the answer on this:
"I like to suggest 12 weeks straight and then running it every other week. I myself have run it for a lot longer from time to time and have handled it just fine. There are a few other hardcore HRT guys that have done the same and still made gains."
Hey rage, is this technique meant to be used with multiple sets?
It's generally meant to be run as 2 working sets of 3 exercises per bodypart... (Granted, nothing is etched in stone, so feel free to experiment...) But, that's how it was originally designed...
Ya, I have noticed a lot of good gains so far from the Solo HRT. I know once I complete the 12 weeks that I am going to be building a new workout routine based off what I have learned through this experience.
