I guess that makes sense, as long as you keep the same order for the entire cycle segment. Is that the official recommendation of the HST program?
The RMs for all 3 rep ranges are supposed to be established prior to beginning the entire cycle so I need to somehow determine all this at the same time. I think I'll take a week off and do this in 3 different sessions...these discovery sessions will serve as a workout themselves, I believe.
For the next cycle I just add 5-10lbs for each exercise and rep range? Is that fixed or is it ok to add a little more if you feel you've gained enough strength to do so?
Also, if you choose to do 2 more weeks of 5s rather than doing negatives (I'll will probably do a mix of eccentrics and concentrics), should you keep the additional 2 weeks of 5s at the same weight as the last workout of 5s (the 5 rep max established at the beginning of the cycle) and possibly rep out on drop sets or increase the weight a little if strength has increased?
Thanks,
Randy
