@tongzilla: 2x10 and 4x5. When I'm beyond my RM5 I start to cluster.
@totentanz: The length of microcycles differs in accordance to my strength gains. I never know how long a microcycle will go. My body will tell me. I don't restrain my routine temporally by adjusting it to a 2-week-rhythm. But indeed I usually slow down the increment intervals when I reach the 5ers, at least when I reach my Post-5ers.
Oh, by the way, Lol: to deadlift 440 after only 2 years of experience in iron biz is pretty darn good! Since I'm interested in strength as well as in size, I have lots of respect for that incredible PR.

MoDog,
I would be exhausted if I did 2x10 (rather than 1x10) for my last two workouts in the 10-rep cycle. Ditto with 4x5. That's a lot of sets.
It's hard for me to imagine you can finish workouts under 45 mins without being very fit or compromising rest time. But can you finish under 45 mins?
Thanks.

I'm maintaining a log of my current bulk.
This is about my 4-5th cycle of HST.
I've drawn this cycle out about 4 weeks longer than normal for me.
I know I should probably keep the log here... but I'm spreading the good word of HST and Simplify and Win.
You can see my progress at the link below: (Pics, vids, etc.)
(I recently just did my PR of deadlifts @ 405x1
) *Gotta love Simplify and Win
(Skip to the end if you want to see where I am now)

In the 10ers my workouts clock in at 45 mins. In the 5ers I need about 60 minutes, which is totally ok to me.
It's gets critical when I use very heavy weights (RM3 or so) even though I cut back the volume to 15 and or 12. Sometimes it takes about 75 or even 80 minutes to get all reps in, regardless of the fact that I only do 4 exercises in that specific phase.
