So I am die hard HST dont get me wrong. But I was reading this article and I have to say it makes good sense on hypertrophy.

So this article being said would a routine HST style like this be overtraining?

Say during the 10's

Chest 5 sets
Back 5 sets
Shoulders 3 sets
Legs 5 sets
Arms 3 sets a piece

What do you guys think?

24 sets per workout! That much volume should be split, in my opinion. How many workouts per week are you contemplating?

Unless you are taking a gram of test a week... I think that's pretty high volume. Your recovery will be effected. I don't think the arms ever need 3 sets, especially if you are using the right chest and back exercises.

you'll find what looks good in thoery won't always be practical. i think it's too much, i'd split it up.
