Hey guys just want to get your opinion on this. I am a conditioned lifter now for over decade. I have found a volume that works great for me with HST 3 days a week. The current volume routine I am very very happy with and looks like this.
Chest 4 sets Back 4 sets
Shoulders 3 sets Legs 2 sets
Bicpes 2 sets Triceps 2 sets Thats it.
Now I am extremely pleased with my results. But just like anyone i get in a rut sometimes and find it difficult/boring or just not as motivated to hit the gym. Although the spells will hit me only 2 or 3 times a year...I always battle through them and go any way.
I am not overtraining or anything its more a matter of getting lazy a couple times a year. So here is were my question comes into play. HST advises to use as much volume that you can handle and being coditioned I use more than the average lifter. But what would happen if when I get unmotivated or slightly lazy twice a year I just cut back and do 1 set total for each muscle group?
I mean its better than nothing....but even with proper SD would this be effective?
Thanks and Merry christmas everyone!
