I tried the basic HST routine a year ago and thought it was an okey way to train but i sort of fell off the wagon with it. Iv been training almost 5 years now and think i maybe nearing my natural genetic limit. Iv used roids all and all the rest of it, I no longer keep the gains very long after the cycle is over so i assume im near what i can hold naturly and that is no where near where i want to be. Other than staying on roids all the time i cant see a solution to problem and i dont want to go that route. Anyway iv found i can make a little progress naturaly by doing frequent non failure periodized routines and thats what draws me back to HST. The full body workout 3 times per week appeals to me although the basic routine does not seem quite right for me personaly. So iv came up with this :
Ill be following the basic 3 times per week plan, only instead of doing 15,10,5 i was thinking of 1 week each of the following 12,10,8,6,5 then maybe the 3 rep range or negatives ect as suggested in the original. It would still be a 6 week cycle then SD only id be changing rep ranges each week as shown. The workout would be the following:
squats
stiff leg deadlifts
bench press
militery press
skull curshers or close grip bench press
bent rows
chins/pulldowns
curls
calf raises
all would get 2 sets on the 12,10,8 and id add more sets on 6,5,3 as i felt. This is just a modified form of HST I dont know if its more advanced or not than the basic. what do you guys think?
