Having read the information regarding HST and planned my workout I was initially very excited and motivated. I respected the scientific research and thought put into creating what I thought would be the ultimate program. I have stuck to HST for several weeks and am now building up to my 5 rep max which will be on Friday.
However throughout the routine I have felt frustrated by:
A. limiting myself to only lifting 70 and 85% of my max
B. finishing a workout in 30 minutes
Does anybody share my frustration - or do the results at the end of the cycle make it all worth while?
(perhaps I am asking for a biased response as this forum primarily promotes HST but I would be interested in your thoughts)
Are there any deviations from the most preached about HST routines that invovle more effort? The most important compound exercises alternated M/W/F 100% max and 80%? Would this wipe me out? Are there any other variations - or recommendations on the light/heavy routines?
