Okay :) thank you.

I think I just read so much that 5x5 really wouldn't be the best program for hypertrophy, so I wanted to trying to incorporate rep ranges across weeks like HST does. But it seems like some of the loads id be working with would be really low and in the case of the zigzagging almost a step...

So then perhaps my original layout was okay. I just thought I wasn't supposed to zigzag because that defeats the progressive overload. But if it's all part of the program then maybe it's not so bad. Perhaps I'm just overthinking it all XD

Is it not possible to do progressive load-reps instead of just micromanaging things as much. Currently I have been doing ICF 5x5 and I am really enjoying the strength gains I'm receiving from that. Could I not just have it so that I actually do some progression work - like real progress? For...

As you can see above I just attempted to make it so that I have a 15lb gap between each max. That way I am constantly increasing the weight every workout. The only one that gives me any trouble is barbell curls just because I'm not really that strong.

So then how do I ensure there is no overlap with 15/10/5 cycle? From what I saw I will still overlap because I am going to have to ramp up to my X-RM over 6 workouts? Here is some of the number crunching I did to attempt to make the program I was using work. The numbers will probably be of use...

Hey guys My main question here as I read through the HST guide was whether or not there is benefit to doing a rep range of 15/12/10/8/6/4 over 6 weeks instead of 15/10/5. Or is it just making things overly complicated? My main reason for this was because I plan to use the same exercises from...
