would this work?

Mifody · 01-22-2002, 03:32 AM

would a routine like this work?

monday:

squats: 2 sets
leg curls: 2 sets
flat bench: 2 sets
incline bench: 1 set
bb rows: 2 sets
pullups: 2 sets
db shoulder press: 2 sets
rear delt flys: 1 set
tris: 1 set
bis: 1 set

wednesday: repeat

saturday: repeat

reps between 6-12.. depending how i'm feeling.

maybe alternate squats with deads

loooks like alot kinda doing each body part 3 times a week but its very minimal volume. high intensity of course

any thoughts?

Mifody what are you trying to do with yourself.......

MAYBE YOU COULD WORK TWO BODY PARTS PER SESSION(ONCE A WEEK) AND REALLY GO AFTER IT DURING THOSE SESSIONS. MULTIPLE SETS AND EXERCISES PER BODY PART. YOU WOULD PROBABLY GAIN MORE BY WORKING THAT MUSCLE GROUP COMPLETLY, ONCE A WEEK, THAN TO HIT IT LIGHTLY 3 TIMES A WEEK

What you have described looks a lot like HST - Hypertrophy Specific Training.

Here is a link to give you all the info.

ya basically thats where i got it from.. HST just modified slightly.
maybe it wont work if i dont do the reps right dunno

i wanna gain about 20 pounds lean as possible as i'm already at 16% bf
i know i should cut up some but whenever i start i give up right quick cause i think i'm not big enough.. need more muscle!
only 180 lbs 5'10"

like what the hell am i doing cutting when i wanna be 230, 5%

I would say you absolutely MUST do the right reps and weight increases as they are set out.

A few guys I know on another board have finished and say it is amazing.

I thought I`d give it a go, and am now half way through my second week, and it`s killing me.

You cannot cut up on this plan though as you must eat sooooo much just to recover for the next workout.

Believe me, the 15 reps are agony.

Certainly not a routine I would pick, but you have to give it a fair shot in order to see if it works FOR YOU. Keep us informed!
