Im starting my first HST routine tomorrow, I just have one last question...should I alternate exercises every other workout within a 2 week period? Im asking becouse the HST calculator has 6 slots per rep phase for each exercise, im assuming its for each workout of the phase which implies that you should stick with the same movements thoughout the whole 8 weeks. I know you could switch exercises thoughout but im asking if you should for a very basic HST routine.
Also, what is 'metabolic work' Ive seen it mentioned in the forums.
Here's my HST calculator, this is pretty much what I plan on doing thoughout the cycle. Please let me know what you think.
What I would like to do is work out a way to get some more exercise variety in there..not much just a few like deadlifts, incline bench, and some other stuff.
What if I did something like this:
Looking at legs only, id alternate the squat and leg curl every workout for the first 2 weeks, the stiff legged deadlift and leg press, for the next 2, then the squat and deadlift, for the next two, and maybe squat and leg extension for the last two. Id do a similar template for the the chest and back as well. How does that sound for a first cycle.
