I'm a bit confused on something. The FAQ pdf I'm reading here http://users.telenet.be/aaitee/HST Faq_book.pdf says if you don't have a partner for negatives you should do your 5rpm for the remaining 2 weeks. It says you can increase the weight some if you want just don't go to failure.
What has me confused is if you are doing negatives as described in that PDF (using your 2RPM weight), I'd think that would be as taxing as on your muscles as doing a standard set to failure? I guess I'm wrong there? Every time I've done negatives in the past they seemed to cause DOM which is fine.. but 3 days a week of the same muscle group?
