I've noticed that I make way better gains when I'm training heavy with low reps, such as the last couple of weeks in a HST cycle. It's always been like this for me and even with similar diets or even a superior diet it seems that my body responds better to heavy 5 rep sets than 10 rep sets.
I've made great progress with HST's frequency and full body workouts and I'm wondering if I should just stick with the heavy reps for a while.
I'm thinking of having an A and B workout so that every other day I hit a bodypart with a different exercise. Something like this I suppose.
Workout A
Flat Bench Press
Weighted Chin Ups
Deadlifts
Workout B
Incline Bench Press
Bent Over Barbell Rows
Squats
That's not the complete workout but just a quick example. I'm just wondering if going heavy like this and trying to increase the load as often as possible on each exercise would be as effective as doing only Workout A every time I hit the gym.
Any and all input is appreciated, thanks.
