I am just finishing my second HST programme and have noticed a trend accross of my exercises that I would like some advice on.
Taking squat as an example, my current 5 rep max in 102kg. I start at 50kg for 15's and add 4kg a session, so:
15's 50-70 kg
10's 70-90 kg
5's 90-102 kg (should be 110)
My querie is that I can't reach the end of the 5's at the same rate of progression as in the 15's and 10's. Same for Military press and others.
Would you A zigzag the 5's back, or B reduce the increment in the 5's or C something that I haven't considered.
I would finish by saying that HST is a great routine that seems both effective and much more 'fun' than constantly grinding away at microloading as I did some years back.
Cheers
