Anyone ever tried HST (Hypertrophy-Specific Training)?

It sounds crazy, but I'm starting week 4 of the routine and it seems to be working pretty good so far. Apparently a lot of people have been good getting results from it as well.

Basically, you workout the entire body 3 days a week, 1-2 sets of 1-2 exercises per body part.. It's an 8 week program with 2 week cycles of weight and reps. The first 2 weeks you do 15 reps per exercise, increasing the weight to reach your 15 rep max by the last day (of those 2 weeks). The next week is 10 reps (working up to your 10 RM again), then 5's, then negatives.

Sounds like........................

the Arthur Jones / Ellington Darden routine that has been out for years! It does work, but after the 8 weeks you will come to a point that it will be too much and you will have to reduce your training. This type of routine is great for someone who is trying to lean-up and gain alittle mass.

What's the latest on the results people have been achieving with this workout?

How long have you all been training before you tried HST?
