frorider -- you want to take a week and find the numbers

Pick the exercises you want, figure out how much weight you can do for 15, 10, and 5 reps. Find the 15's on monday, 10's on wed, 5's on friday. That way you rest in between and they're accurate

THEN take 9 days off, start the HST cycle the following monday and use the weights you determined

i got a question....

casualbb, i'm gonna start this program, and i was just wondering if you have to hit the gym everyday, or is there a split (like mon, wed, friday)?

btw, i'm gonna use the exercises u posted for ur specific training and see how they work, cuz it seems like it covers pretty much everything.

Read the damn FAQs on the HST website. Jesus. Questions like this needn't be asked.

i have a few questions that i have not seen answered. okay it says to find ur maxes for each rep range, in this example i will use incline bench and we will assume the max for 1x10 is 200. after u find ur max and its 200x10 and u reverse it back and that would have u doing 150 for ur first week. but it says to do 2x10 for incline bench, so what weight would u use for the second set? same weight or what? thanks

The same weight. You don't have to do two sets, though.

Question: Will daily cardio adversely affect my HST cycle?
I do various cardio including:
-grappling/wrestling
-boxing
-judo
-running
-swimming

Can ya guys let me know about that?

Also, how many days rest should I take after I'm done with my last week with negatives?

 

[casualbb]

you should eat more to compensate

and after negatives rest at least 9 days, preferably 12

Another quick question, after I get my numbers. Let's say I'm doing reverse flies and I'm using dumbbells. They go 10,11,12,13,14,15 for 15's. What do I do if they don't have 11,13 or 14 to use as dumbbell weights? Just repeat?
