Hi,
i've been reading alot about HST and i want to start with it. Im trying to put a cycle together but i need some help, im not sure if im doing everything right. First, about chins (underhand close grip), i can do 6 of them now, started from zero. But it's not possible for me yet to add weight, what will be the best way to include them in my cycle? I cant do a full dip yet, so im starting with doing negatives.
I work out at home, i have a barbell, dumbells and a powercage with a low and high pulley and i have a chinup bar.
Because i also would like to use my power rack to the most i've come up with this cycle and exercises but these are my questions:
-are there too much exercises?
-are the exercises good enough for HST? (with this i mean the exercises with the pulley's)
-is the volume enough for doing 1x15,2x10,3x5 with these number of exercises?
A
Squat
SLDL
Flat Bench Press
Barbell Row
Lat wide grip Pull down
Cable lying tricep extension
Chins (underhand close grip) as many as i can?
Dips (negatives) as many as i can? or push ups?
Im doing bicep work with the chins, i dont think i need barbell or dumbell curls here?
B
Squat
Deadlift (1x5) Im a beginner, not lifting heavy yet. When i do, i leave the squat out
Incline Bench Press
Cable Seated row
Lat wide grip Pull down
Cable lying tricep extension
Chins (underhand close grip) as many as i can?
Dips (negatives) as many as i can? or push ups?
same bicep question as with A
One more question, can somebody help me to place the exercises in a correct order? Im not good at this, yet.
So, am i bit on the right track or am i way off? Suggestions are very welcome. Thanks for the input.
