This idea has got me thinking today. Unchanged, a HST cycle looks like this:
15 reps for 2 weeks
10 reps for 2 weeks
5 reps for 2 weeks
5 reps for 2 weeks (continue 5RMs or do negatives)
What if we take the last 4 weeks and merge them into one unbreakable time period for the 5's, with weight increases set up accordingly? During this time frame the average tonnage will drop (as compared to the original outline), but the new environment might make it easier for the body to make progress. After all, isn't this what HST is all about? Suggestions are welcome.
