Hi guys, since I am new to the world of HST, I have some questions. My first question would be: Is there any benefit in switching between exercises (e.g. Squat and Leg Press) between 2 workouts ? My plan with which I want to start the following Tuesday would look like this: Squats Legpress (alternative) Legcurl Incline Bench Chins Dips Bent Row Lateral Raise Rear Delt Raise Preacher Curls Triceps Extension Shrugs Calves Abs (machine) If there is any Benefit, I would alternate Squats and Legpress, maybe also, if it makes any sense Bent Row with a Machine Row. Furthermore : Is it any good to do Legcurls, Lateral/Rear Delt Raise and Bi's and Tri's with only 5 reps ? I hope someone can help me and appreciate any comment on my questions and routine. Thanks for any help and the great community!
Welcome to HST @moonman How many days are you training and how many sets / reps per session are you planning to do per rep block? 1 - I would stick with Squats every workout rather than alternate with leg press, if you are going to alternate squats with anything I would recommend deadlifts, but I would prefer that you add deadlifts to every workout and drop leg curls. 2 - I would not / do not do leg curls, lateral / rear delts or any bicep and tricep exercises at any rep range, is there a reason why you do no overhead press movement in your routine? Personally I would do the following Quads - Squats Hams / Lower Back - Deadlift Calves - not really necessary as covered by the above but ok to include if you must Chest - Flat Bench (rather than incline as you can use more load) and Dips Shoulders - Overhead Press Back - Chins and Bent over Rows (prefer Pendlay Rows) Traps - shrugs not necessary as more than covered by deadlifts but ok to include if you must Biceps - not necessary as covered with all the back exercises Triceps - not necessary covered with bench, dips and OH press Good luck
