Year ago, I had switched to HST and had great results. In sum, pushed my plateaued bench press from 165 to a max of 275 in about 3-4 years. However since than, I was out of the country for an extended period and when I returned, my studies demanded too much attention; now it's summer break to return.
I am trying to get back into working out after--more or less--not working out seriously for 3 years. So can someone help me tailor an HST workout going from cold (not lifting) and back into lifting. I acknowledge HST is intense, but I plan on do a light workout to build me up to speed. I am debating doing 1-2 weeks of lifting just specific body section (i.e. back and bis, chest and tris, lats and legs) instead of jumping right into all compound HST. Thoughts?
Workout
Mornings: Run (1-3 miles)
(time permitting - 1 cycle of Spartacus workout)
Evening: Lifting (all light weights)
Squats - 15 reps x 2 sets
Deadlift - 15 reps x 2 sets
Flat Bench Press - 15 reps x 2 sets
Chinups/pullups (or pulldowns) - 15 reps x 2 sets
Dips - 15 reps x 2 sets
Arnolds (instead of Military Press to get back to strength) - 15 reps x 2 sets
Abs (hanging abs) - 15 reps x 2 sets
(time permitting - bike intervals 20 minutes)
ANY suggestions or assistance on how to go from zero to HST would be much appreciated.
Thank you
