I haven't done any weights in about 10 months, about to get back into it, and my first HST cycle. I was thinking of keeping it really simple for my first cycle, and then adding in more exercises in subsequent cycles. I was thinking of doing (in order):
dumbbell bench
cable row
squats
lat pulldown
military press
I am going to follow the 15's/10's/5's routine, doing mostly 2 sets for all exercises in the first week, and probably both weeks in the 15's. I am going to go by how I feel mostly to judge when to do 2 sets. I think I have most of the major muscle groups in there. My thinking was that because I am so deconditioned, it shouldn't take much to get some growth happening, and I would only add in more exercises to hit muscles more than once after my body had adapted to this routine. Does this fit in with HST principles and sound like a good idea?
