    Hypertrophy

    i have been studying up on HST http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/hst_index.html

    sounds very interesting, but does a full body w/o 3x a week seem pretty excessive, and would it work for a natural?

    Full body workouts 3x'a a week are awsome. They are really dificult but they make your body really adapt to a different trainig stimulus and a different level of performance. Yes it will work for a nutural. I say give it a shot.

    The volume is low however. If you search this board, there are plenty of posts on it, I tried it out long ago, made some changes though.

    I liked it, but I wont use it all the time. When you need a change of pace, then sure I would use it.

    Negative on overtraining, the volume on the program is low. I am on a 5 day rotation right now, which is a balance between volume and frequency that I like. If you are feeling burnt out I would take time off yes. I added sets for legs, traps I think, and added in forearms/neck. It was a long time ago though.
