Hello, just found this website a couple of weeks ago, and have been
reading up on the hst training since then.
I have looked on the website and in the faq, but can't find
how you can find what the lightest load can be when you start up training after the SD.
I imagine it would be best to start up with the lightest possible weight that will stimulate growth in the muscle.
Use lighter weight than that, and the muscle will not grow,
and if you use heavier you are not getting as much growth as
you potentially could? is that right or does it not really
matter ?
I guess what i'm really after is a number, In % of your 5 RM or something ?
Anyways, are showing you a sample of my program so you could tell me if something is wrong here.
(just picking one exercise)
Benchpress, Measured 5RM: 85kg, 10RM: 72,5kg (actually 75kg 9rep) 15RM: 60KG
(Have to admit I made a mistake and only measured 5RM and 10RM, but I assume
the differce between 10RM and 5RM are about the same as 10RM and 15RM?)
15's: Day 1: 42,5kg 2: 45kg 3: 47,5kg 4: 50kg 5: 55kg 6: 60kg
10's: Day 1: 52,5kg 2: 57,5kg 3: 62,5kg 4: 67,5kg 5: 67,5kg 6: 72,5kg
5's Day 1: 65kg 2: 70kg 3: 75kg 4: 80kg 5: 80kg 6: 85kg
Guess what I'm really wondering about is if 42,5kg is too light or too heavy
when my 5RM is 85kg.
And if the increments look good. Have tried to set it up as is explained here on the site,
but it's difficult when the RM is so close. I tried to use the HST calculator, but
then the weights was under my 10RM in the first 3 workouts
when I start on the 5's feks.
Have to say this training program/theory looks real promising, and maybe I
can start to see some real gains now after years of miserable results.
Well, thanks to anyone who is answering me
Will start on this program in a couple of days. about 12 days of SD then
reading up on the hst training since then.
