Hi everyone. Just a bit of quick background, I started lifting two years ago, but for the first year and a bit I was just figuring things out and didn’t really make good gains. In the last year/six months I’ve learnt a lot about lifting and nutrition, so I’m not a complete novice. For the last 6 weeks I’ve been doing a 5x5 type program, but I’m getting small injuries, for instance I got a knee injury while warming up for squats, I just don’t think my body can tolerate the heavy loads week after week. I heard about HST for a while now, and now I’ve decided I should give it a go.
Tell me if you think the following program looks ok:
Squat
SL deadlift
Flat bench
Flyes
Chin ups
Bent over barbell rows
Barbell shrugs
Military press
Lateral raises
Bicep curls
Tricep pushdowns
Cable crunches
I haven’t added any direct rear delt exercises because I feel that chins and rows hit rear delts properly, but correct me if I’m wrong. I would do skullcrushers but they aggravate a shoulder issue I’ve been having.
