I've been weight training for the last seven years and mostly doing a body part a day, 5 days a week. I found that very taxing on my body, so about a month ago I stumbled upon this website and I thought I'd give HST a try. I've read the articles and this is a routine I came up with, a lot of the exercises are taken from the list on the HST example routine. I don't know if I'm planning on doing too much, should I simplify things more, I also plan to alternate the two routines.
A
Squat
Incline Bench Press
Cable Pull downs (Can't do many pull-ups, only about 5 or 6)
Shrugs
Shoulder Press (dumbbell)
Cable Bicep Curls
Cable Tri Ext.
Standing Calf Raises
Abs
B
Deadlift
Decline Press (in substitute of dips, I can only get 8 reps doing dips)
Cable Rows (should I do barbell?)
Shrugs
Shoulder Press (dumbbell)
Preacher Curls
Lying Tri Ext.
Standing Calf Raises
Abs
I plan to do 2 sets of 15 reps, 2 sets of 10 reps and 2 or 3 sets of 5 reps. I did some circuit training over the summer. I would do a set of legs, rest for 30 sec, a set for chest, rest for 30 sec, a set for back, rest for 30 sec, a set for shoulders, rest for 30 sec, a set for biceps, rest for 30 sec, and a set for triceps and rest for 30 sec. I would then ride the stationary bike for 5 minutes, and then repeat. I would do 3 sets, 3 times a week (MWF).
Should I do all sets for one exercise before moving on? Should I rest a little more between sets? I'm a little confused by some of the readings. Again, I would like to thank you for you advice/input.
