I do the 15-12-10-8-5-5-5-5 variation, and am in the middle of my 8's right now. Maybe my experiences can be interesting for other people relatively new to HST.
Some reflections so far:
- More energetic between workouts compared to my prior every-muscle-once-a-week-routine.
- Tighter/harder muscles, more pumped look.
- Have gained about 3-4 lbs of weight.
- 15's and 12's was hard work, but felt good. I will most likely continue doing them, one way or the other. My old routine made me feel totally drained sometimes.
- Have a feeling I probably still do to much volume - about 3 sets per muscle group (2 compound, 1 isolation).
Comments welcome!
