started HST full body work out post visiting this site about 5 years ago I think, back then there didn't seem to be many forum members infact I'm not sure there was a forum at all. I've spent the last few years trying ,with little success, to highlight the benefits of full body train with little success.

When I 1st started the result were amazing (no measurements I'm afraid) since then I still gain in strength and size however I think I've become very lazy in the way I train i.e. time in-between sets and reps not being adhered to etc…I still progress well but not as well as I could if I really worked at it... Having come back to the HST site and looked at the forum I'm renewed in the passion that HST filled me with way back when. There are so many variations that I didn't think of… Even the idea of doing the 15 reps part for 2 sets instead of 1.

There is so much new information I feel like I've been left behind! After my reps of 5 I usually took a week off as I couldn't do the negatives as I don't have a regular training partner. But there seems to be a new idea of doing a method in which you do 20 reps of you maximum weight with a variety of break times in-between. I can't find it now… can anyone give me a brief synopsis?

Any school boy errors please point them out
