Hey guys, I am just starting my first cycle of HST and wanted to know what kind of experiences any of you have had doing HST while participating in athletic activities on off days.
I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 3 times a week on what are off days from lifting:Tues, Thurs, Sun and also occasionally like to do a moderate swimming workout (~2500m) to stay in shape for spearfishing/lobsterdiving. Will this have a significant adverse affect on my HST results?
One of the reasons HST seemed like such a good program for me is that the volume starts off at a very reasonable level and gives your body time to adapt as it steadily increases. Previously I was attempting a variation of a Chad Waterbury full body routine, which was great except that coupled with BJJ I was becoming overtrained and taking long periods of time to recover.
If anyone has any input or even better yet personal experiences mixing HST with a demanding sport I would love to hear how it worked out for you.
