This is the log of my first HST cycle. Today I have finished my 6th 15-rep workout. I wanted to start tracking my progress from the start of this cycle, but I have been very busy. Starting stats: 86kg/189lbs at 1.90m/6.2-6.3ft. The last three years I have worked out without passion, and at weights FAR below my maxes. Consequently, I am very weak now. As I mentioned in a previous post, my UB in general, and my arms specifically, are lagging behind. I have set up the following HST cycle to stimulate them:
Dips (52-77kg; 5kg)
BB Curl (15-27.5kg; 2.5kg)
Tri extension (12.5-25kg; 2.5kg)
Pull-ups/Bent over rows (alternate) (52-62kg; 5kg) (30-35kg; 2.5kg)
Bench press (27.5-40kg; 2.5kg)
Press (10-20kg; 2kg)
Squat/Deadlift (alternate) (35-45kg; 5kg) (40-50kg; 5kg)
The numbers in brackets (x-y; z)indicate the start (x) and end (y) weight I used during the 6 15-rep workouts, and the weight I added each workout (z).
After the first two weeks my BW is up 1 kg, which is probably a combination of muscle memory and water retention. My goal is to slowly bulk up to 90 kg this summer.
