Been reading the FAQ's and forums for a while and decided to give HST a go with a hybrid version as my first attempt.
Before you all go "no, no, no" - I have been training several years with strength programs like Bill Starr's 5x5 due to our national game here in Aussie land - "Australian Rules Football". This will be a big leap for me with training and thinking so if all goes well I will set it up the correct way when I do it again.
I have 7 weeks before I am on holiday so I thought why not give this a go and test the theory in the next few weeks. Going into 3 weeks of 5's then 3-4 weeks of neg's/clusters. 5RM is basically where I have trained for a long time so I am comfortable in this range and coming off a Christmas layoff it will let me back down the weight so I can ramp up for 3 weeks and hit my 5RM's.
Well keep you updated as I start to poke my nose around the place.
Great site.
