This is probably an old question but I will ask...
could one use the HST method for strength, but using a lower set of reps.
EG 2 weeks at 10, 2 weeks at 6, 4 weeks at 3.
Is this less valuable than a 5x5 approach?
I think one of the big questions in training is the use of supplemental exercises. On a 5x5 or a korte 3x3 the supplemental exercises are not very represented, but using a HST programme could allow one to use Good mornings, leg press, front squats, chins etc etc every session.
I am not saying it is better or worse than sticking mainly to the classic lifts.
