Waterbury HF Training
 
Makes sense. I don't have the time to train more than three times a week but if I did I would set up the workouts like that to avoid repeating exercises too much, but I'd stick to an HST type progression scheme.

I'm sure it'll work well and it's nice to see others are catching on to what Bryan was saying about frequency many years ago.
 
My first thought is that this is a recipe for overtraining, at least for someone like me. And yes, it will take a lot of food!
Consider his example:
Monday: dips

Tuesday: decline EZ bar extensions

Wednesday: military press lockouts

Thursday: off

Friday: close grip bench presses

Saturday: incline elbows out extensions

Here I see muscle suicide in two places: then he saves you with the progressive rep scheme, and he does start with really low reps. It would appear that this could integrate well with or replace HST principles, until you consider the workout time.
I figure it would add at least 1/2 hour to my workout, which is over an hour now, unless I just used it to work a specific bodypart.
But we allready have Max-Stim and extended sets for that. (My 2 experiments still ongoing; 20 rep squats and linear progression for biceps.)
I think this would be a great program for someone with dedication, no job, lots of food (or steroids), and the character to get really regimented. Me, I like it simple, with just a focal difference for my problem spots. I just can't imagine working out almost every day: I barely get my 3-4 in as it is!

I would lower the volume with the increased frequency just like we do w/HST.
