    Hit the gym two days ago after cutting 1,000/day calories out of my diet. My TDEE (per online website TDEE calculators) is 2,700/day. When I was bulking I was eating +500 calories (so 3,200/day), but now I'm consuming only 2,200 calories/day. Holy heck I have no energy for my workout. I was...

    Just finished my first eight weeks with HST (two weeks with 15s, two weeks with 10s, two weeks with 5s, and two additional weeks with 5s stopping when I wasn't able to increase the weight). I then re-evaluated my 15 and 10 rep maxes to prep for starting again after my de-load. I have an A and B...

    Will Working Out Every 48 Hrs Induce Over Training With Hst?

    What about also upping to three sets per exercise? So jumping from 18 to 21 workouts over a six week period, and increasing sets from two per exercise to three (at eight exercises per work out be going from 16 sets to 24).

    Will Working Out Every 48 Hrs Induce Over Training With Hst?

    I did two sets per exercise, and eight exercises per workout, so sixteen sets total per workout. These were about half compound lifts (squat, bench press, etc.) and half isolation lifts (curls, skull crushers, etc.). Here is my typical workout (2 sets of each): squats, BB bench press, leg curls...

    Will Working Out Every 48 Hrs Induce Over Training With Hst?

    I recently finished my first six week HST course and did the three days per week routine. Granted it was only six weeks, but I didn't feel like there was enough volume with the program (I'd consider myself an intermediate lifter). I'm thinking of upping the number of days I work out from three...

    Am I Doing Hst Wrong? New To It And Could Use Some Help!

    Good to know. One more thing struck me while I was thinking more about this...and that is I just completed my fourth week of HST (my 10 reps), and for many/most of my exercises I could have done more reps or weight, which tells me I've already exceeded some of the 10 rep maxes I established...

    Am I Doing Hst Wrong? New To It And Could Use Some Help!

    Thanks for the feedback, and I will keep the Myo Reps in mind. Since I've just started HST, and am only 4 weeks in (having just completed my 15s and 10s), I think I'm going to stick with it [at least] through my 5s and reassess. If after this if I feel like it's just not enough volume what do...

    They feel too light. Until the final two days of a two week cycle (e.g. day # 5 & 6), everything else just feels like a light warm-up set that takes little effort.

    Am I Doing Hst Wrong? New To It And Could Use Some Help!

    Best of luck on your procedure. When I was doing my 15s for chin ups I did them on the assisted pull-up/dip machine, but for my 10s since I can do 10 unassisted (at body weight) pull ups I've just been doing 10 unassisted pull ups at body weight each day, versus building up to it. So for my 10s...

    Am I Doing Hst Wrong? New To It And Could Use Some Help!

    Sorry, not understanding your question. Are you asking how much weight (as a percent of my rep max) I'm increasing each day leading up to my max rep for the 15s, 10s, and 5? For example, if my 5 rep max for squat is 225 lbs then I'm doing 185 x 5, 205 x 5, and finally 225 x 5. So increasing the...

    Am I Doing Hst Wrong? New To It And Could Use Some Help!

    Thanks! I like the idea of upping the volume. Unfortunately I can't do incline bench, weighted dips, or close grip bench press. I have arthritis and bone spurs in my shoulders and those three exercises just hurt too much. Also, when it comes to pull ups I'm not good at them. Meaning, I can do...

    Am I Doing Hst Wrong? New To It And Could Use Some Help!

    Thank you for the quick reply! I've read the book (before I started the HST program four weeks ago). I'm following the recommended workout frequency of 3 times per week (workout Monday (Day 1 routine), Wednesday (Day 2 routine), and Friday (Day 1 routine), and rest Tuesday, Thursday, and...

    Am I Doing Hst Wrong? New To It And Could Use Some Help!

    After coming across an article on T-Nation about HST I was intrigued by the premise of the program, and a little Googling lead me to Brian Haycock's Official HST site. The preceding year I was doing a reverse pyramid push/pull routine. Each main muscle group got three exercises comprised of...
