yeah, that's what I figure too. DOMS really can set in with the drop sets....we shall see.

yeah, no more supersetting the compounds, too dang exhausting. supersetting iso is no problemo though, and I really like the idea of alternating leg workouts, i.e. do RDL one day, then the machine hip squats the other day, especially since I'm blessed from the waist down. thanks for the...

i superset the chest and back for time's sake, but it doesn't seem to be working, as I end up sucking wind for too long! I think it'll be fine once I get to the 5-rep rows, but 15-rep JS's are fuggin' brutal I cannot do legs and back in same workout, period.  the rows and DLs just don't work.  I...

when I split things up, the workout is nice and short, 30 minutes or so. And with the supersets, I need it short, the 15-rep JS rows slaughter me, and I just can't bust it up with legs, I'm too tired.

Okay, finished my first week of HST, and I see I need to make some adjustments. Here is (essentially) what I did. Some of the exercises and rep ranges are not optimal, but with a host of injuries I'm working around, I have to do what I have to do. I'll be doing 2 weeks at each rep range in the...

bah! I got 4 kids, I don't need 'em both anymore!

is metabolic work supposed to be done throughout the 5-rep workouts? I had planned on doing 2 weeks of 15s, 2 weeks of 10s, 2 weeks of 5s, then a week of 5s + drop sets , followed by my week of SD. Should I try to hit drop sets during the entire time I am doing 5s?

first day went fine, but muddafugga, I really hate not being able to squat. I'd give my left nut to be able to do that. *pout*

holy crap, Omega, you rock! Thanks! Colby, to answer your ?s: "Can you do chins or SLDL?" I can't do chins now, gotta give my elbow tendonitis a bit more time to heal, but then I'll hit chins. I can do 15/10/5 on those with weight once my elbow is more forgiving. SLDL - check the...

well fooey. you don't have excel? Leg Press (20/15/10) Bench Press (15/12/8) JS Row (15/10/5) DB overheads (15/12/8) DB rows (15/10/5) DB Stiffs (15/10/5) curls (15/10/5) dips (not sure how to work this) DB laterals (15/10/5) that is the basics
