I am preparing for my first HST cycle and I need to ask this:
HST declares that you do not need to alternate exercises to "confuse" the muscles. But on [http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/hst_notes.html], the sample program suggests alternating in every other workout BenchPress with Dips and Rows with Chinups. Why is that?
According to the FAQ, it is better to keep the movement constant, so that there is better neural efficiency, so that more tention is generated and more microtrauma caused. So what is correct?
One more thing. My 5RM for DeadLift is 125 kgr. I estimate that my 15RM is 85 kgr. So the first 2 weeks I will do 15x60, 15x65, 15x70, 15x75, 15x80, 15x85. but 60 kgr is less than 50% of my 1RM. How can this cause any hypertrophy or stimulate my muscles at all?
