I have had success in the past with 2x15, 3x10, 4x5, and 20 reps max-stimulation set

Lately 3 times every 2 weeks, so about half as frequent as vanilla HST. My career, my kids and my relatively weak constitution have so far prevented me from recovering in 48 hours, I am making great progress the way I’m doing it, so I will keep it up.

I do similar, I recently made a post about not zig-zagging and essentially doing progression how you described it, only difference is I’m doing 20-30 reps of volume, which I believe is superior, but then again I also can’t seem to do high frequency, so I make up for it with volume.

HST log Stronger across the board. [emoji2] •Rack Pulls: 365x20 reps Max-stimulation style. (1 rep, pause, 1 rep, pause, repeat until 20 reps) •s/l standing calf raise: 75x20 reps max-stim All other exercises: 4 sets of 5 reps •iso-lateral Pulldown: 195 (8-9) •Iso-lateral decline Bench: 200 (9)...

Absolutely. My rib cage is tiny, as well as the associated muscles..pectorals and lats, my arm bones are large, as well as my arm muscles.

It’s funny how all of us have different anatomy and genetics. I have the exact opposite problem: very weak, small pectoral muscles but large strong triceps. go figure

Good stuff Jester

Those rack pulls really hard to recover from, nervous system, muscles and everything. I think I’m going to take jesters advice and work on some more glute ham raises and Barbell hyper extensions, sit-ups, work on the core as an isolation more

If you really wanna focus on triceps strength for transfers over to benching I would seriously recommend board presses and lockouts using a close grip. I know a lot of powerlifters do that to get their lockout strength up and beef up the triceps and it’s definitely going to focus on those more...

Good benching, Need to work on those dips broham.

Those rack pulls were awesome, everything is a bit sore from my traps down to my knees! Even my abs are a little sore after those!

Nice chins. Love Max-stim pulling stuff.

I think that is a Great idea. A foot lift in my shoe works for me, the rack pulls are not a problem at all. It is only when I go deep to the floor that my hips just sort of fail. The foot lift works great, but my hips are pretty much ruined for deep pulling and squatting after 30 years of the...

HST log Decided to try some traditional deads, now that I’ve got some conditioning under my belt from a few weeks of RDLs. Deadlift: 235x1, 285xfail, 255x1, legs could easily handle it, lower back sucks... as usual with my chronic hip issues, (hip tightness and lumbar misalignment from...

Considering I did 4 sets of 5 reps with very little rest between sets, 120kg is not bad. I will work my way up soon enough.

Have a lot of stress and anger in my life lately specially today, it’s exciting that I’ll get to take it out attacking heavy weights tonight

Yeah, having kids destroyed my hobbies... lol

HST log 4 sets of 5 reps On all exercises. •split squat: 105 •Romanian deadlift: 265 120kg, felt really heavy, you guys doing 200kg+ regularly are back beasts. •iso-lateral Pulldown: 190 Last rep of last set was near failure. •Iso-lateral decline Bench: 190 •Standing DB row: 45 Metabolic...

Awesome. Largest I ever got was 16” cold at about 12% bodyfat. 18” pumped is phenomenal

That looks like a good program to me. Good exercise choices and good amount of volume.
