In a few weeks going to give HST another shot...

If you want it to work you can't do the ME or speed days. Without getting too long-winded, pushing so much weight would basically ruin the growth potential of your other chest stuff. The point of the weight progression is to overcome tissue conditioning to elongate growth.

What you could do is just do the four-week hypertrophy phase and then restart your ME and DE stuff.

care to elaborate on "the point of the weight progression is to overcome tissue conditioning to elongate growth"?

Also, would doing a 5x5 type progression every other day on selected exercises work in increasing size & strength, in your opinion?
