I am new here and have been soaking up everything over the last few days. I have been more a cardio lean gym person over the last 3 years with 45 mins cardio 5 days a week and weights to keep tone. I am 6 feet 150, and would like to build bulk/muscles now since I am all tone and lost the execess fat.
Here is what I am understanding about HST, please add or advise to my current understanding of HST. Regarding the training schedule:
2 weeks @ 15 reps, then rest for 7-9 days. Now each excercise should I increase the weight while maintaining the 15 reps?
I also understand its 3 days a week (mon-wed.fri) with tues-thur as off. Can I do cardio for 45 mins on tues-thur?
After resting, 2 weeks @ 10 reps, then 7-9 days of rest.
Then 2 weeks @ 5 reps, then rest. What next? After the 15/10/5 cycles are complete what next? Start again?
One last question (at least for now) I like to work my forearm, could I work my forearm on tues-thur which are my rest days?
For the past 4 weeks I have been working Shoulder/Arms/Chest/Traps once per week with good form and heavy weights. I am about to switch to HST, but would like to get correct approach before switching.
Thanks again,
Neil
