I'm doing my first cycle of HST, and have gotten through the 15's and 10's. What I'm finding is it's just too many exercises (esp. the compounds) for me to be doing in a single workout. This was evident in the 10's, when I was trying to get 2 sets per exercise. By the last workout I felt like I had lost a significant amount of strength. So I was considering splitting it into A & B workouts. Here's what I've been doing:
Mon and Fri:
Squat
Bench Press
Pendlay Rows
Overhead Press
Romanian Deadlift
Dips
Lat Pulldown/Pullups
Lying Tricep Extentions
BB Curls
Wed:
Front Squat
Conventional Deadlift
Bench Press
Pendlay Rows
Overhead Press
Dips
Lat Pulldown/Pullups
Lying Tricep Extentions
Bicep Curls
I'm thinking about changing to an alternating A and B workout, and adding incline bench. It would look something like this:
Workout A
Squat
Romanian Deadlift
Flat Bench
Overhead Press
Pendlay Rows
Lying Tricep Extentions
Workout b
Front Squat
Conventional Deadlift
Incline Bench
Dips
Pulldown/Pullups
BB Curls
I *think* that split's OK (plus I think it would give me room to add some direct ab work at the end), but any feedback from the experienced HST people would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
