Hi all, I am going to start the HST workout very soon. But first I have a few questions.
#1: I have become confused on how many sets to use per each rep scheme. Is it standard to do 2 reps for each scheme? Or is it standard to do 1 set for the 15's, 2 for the 10's and 3 for the 5's? Does it really matter which scheme you use?
#2: Finding your max. It appears as if it will take about a week to find your max for all the workouts. For instance, after you find your squat max it wouldnt be very wise to try and find your max on leg curls because your legs would be tired and you wouldnt be able to do as much weight. Likewise with doing bench then trying to find the max of your triceps. So is it safe to say that its very difficult to find all your maxes in one day and it should be done over a few days?
#3: I would like to post the exercises I plan on doing. I would like to know whether it is good or not and what workouts I can possibly add, substitute for, or delete.
Here are my exercises im not sure about the particular order though
Squats
Leg extensions
Calves
Bench
Bend over rows
lat pulldowns
Tricep extensions (standing using the rope)
barcurls
Dumbbell presses
Shrugs
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
