so basicly you could do 5 sets if you can handle it is that what your saying colby. :)

instead of doing 2 or 3 sets of an exercise why not pick an exercise for a certain bodypart lets say legs, and starting on your 15s for squats just keep doing sets till you know you wont get out another set.... then move onto chest and do the same there ...then back shoulders etc..everyone keeps...

cheers for the replys guys i was using flyes as an EG have not worked out a routine yet..could have flat db bb bench in there.its just an experiment, i have been thinking about keeping the muscles under tension more..last cycle i repped out on the submax weights. so i thought i would try staying...

(quote)from blade Zig-zagging is fine as long as the general trend over time is upwards. If not, the conditioning of the muscle (which is to say, the resistance of the tissue to the mechanical strain of a given weight load) will catch up with you, and your growth will plateau. Growth with a...

You youngsters can push the hell out of your lungs and heart, as for me I'll stick to 145 max. thanks for calling me a youngster fausto (even though i am 47) i just cant get round the idea of only doing 4mins though..years of doing loads of cardio :D

you also wrote this Earlier in the cycle, you don't need isolation exercises for your arms. You may throw in some more exercises later in the cycle -fly's, skullcrushers, incline d bell curls- if you wish. you can also do this the other way round start with isos and drop them in the 5s ..i do...

(quote) The best part of hst in my mind is the looks on everyone's face when I go from the squat rack to the bench and then back to the rack for some chins !! haha i was doing squats a few months ago and 2 so called personal trainers were stood behind me,so i said do you want to join in and...

welcome mate..i cant see it doing any harm if your well trained anyway but after a christmas layoff i might have started with at least a week of 10s to ease you back into it.good luck :D

or you could just carry on doing 10 reps..ie..if your 10rm is 100k and the start of the 5s is 100k just carry on doing 10 reps.

fausto do you have to stop at 4mins or can you carry on untill you cant do anymore..ie..instead of eight 20secs..you could do 14 or more..

good choice of exercises..if you can handle that amount then go for it..there is no set amount but most guys on here prefer to concentrate on mostly compounds...if you find it gets to hard then you can drop some exercises no problem..for instance when i get to the 5s i drop all arm isos..or if...
