    HST principals with 5x5/SFT

    I don't plan on doing a 5x5 anytime soon... probably not until August when I can start bulking again. I am cutting till then with high frequency HST cycles - 8x (compound/iso split, AM/PM), 6x/week, 912, etc..) How long does a typical 5x5 cycle go for?

    HST principals with 5x5/SFT

    all day training

    The routine seems sound! It would definitely be a good idea for someone who works at the gym.

    My first workout!

    Go for 8 weeks by adding 2 weeks of negatives.. if for certain exercises you cannot do negs, then continue using your 5RM (or even progress on top of that)... use techniques such as pulsing, drop sets, static holds. Deadlifts are sweet.. as long as your lower back can handle them.

    My first workout!

    Deadlifts? Instead of alternating weekly, I would go for every other workout, so you experience light and heavy weights for all exercises. You will also have larger increments by doing this.

    Just starting the HST thing and have a couple Q's

    I'm on the run, so I gotta be quick... 12 exercises may seem like a lot, but if you have the energy then you should be good.. maybe dump the iso's As far as dips and chins go for adding weight.. if you goto a gym and there is an assisted machine that can add weight, then that would work... if...
