Bryan, great example on using 15-20 reps throughout cycle. Could you give an example on how the weights would be used. Would you keep the weight the same at 10 reps and 5 reps?

To me HST is similar to my old competitive powerlifting days. My best gains in bodyweight, size and strength gains occured when i was powerlifting. Since I choose not to do singles anymore, I'll do the next best thing...HST

hey old&grey whatathink mine is similar to yours but i was thinking replacing the drop sets on the compounds (Squat, Bench & deadlift) with 3 reps this cycle. So it would be 15,15,10,10,5,5,3,3

frankG Geez I've just checked, my flat barbell bench alone (which is my weakest exercise) , its just a little over 100lbs.

(and remember : each *cycle* doesn't really need to be "heavier" than the one before to allow hypertrophy. That's the beauty of SD) not you got me confused.  You mean to tell me that I can stay with the same wieght as before and get bigger because of SD.  Where does HST say that?

Ignorant, how can anybody say you are lazy when your cycles last 2 weeks longer than normal cycles? However, you also short change yourself 1 cycle out of year. Nevertheless, I don't understand your theory of increasing weights only on the 5s. If I do not increase my 15s and 10s proportionally...

I increase my 15s, 10s and fives anywhere from 5-10lbs. The way I look at it is small increases reep large rewards. As for creatine, people make it a bigger product than what is really is. Finally, I would stay with the bench then incline. Why, because you can handle more wieght. Thats the name...

old and Grey Thanks for the reply, however, instead of doing sets of 5's the last two weeks I was thinking of doing set of 3's the last two weeks. So, I would do 2 weeks of 5"s and 2 weeks of 3"s.(must be my younger powerlifting days trying to make a come back) Nevertheless, I am not...

old & grey you would do 5rm with 2 dropsets during the 3 and 4 week of fives. So, week 3 and 4 will have no increase in weight? is this correct?
