Reply With Quotewell i just finished up the 10 RM phase and i'm moving on to the 5RM phase tomorrow. its pretty good. its different, definatly different. the one thing i don't like about is that it gets kind of boring after this long, the exact same exercises every workout for 6 weeks. but that being said, my muscles have grown more using this program than any other.

HST Question...
To those that have tried...or to those that have knowledge of it... Why did you or did you NOT like it?
How did the program work for you...or didn't it?
Thanks.Maximus:

kp, were you able to avoid "zig-zagging" when going from the 15s to the 10s? If not...did it seem to matter?

You actually don't have to do the same exercise everytime. As long as you work out each muscle. For example the rear delts WO for the 15RM phase could be

correct stu... that's essentially like having two different workouts...A & B, for example...
Then during each microcycle, you alternate A,B,A,B,A,B - basically doing each one 3 times during each microcycle.
I'm contemplating doing that, but I think for the 15s, I'm only going to use compound movements. Once i get to the 10s, i'll throw in some iso movements.Maximus:

Zigg-zagging is if you repeat workouts at the end of the 15s, for example, in the beggining of the 10s. Originally Posted by KPorter

yeha it happens all the time. it didn't really bother me though. i know that the first 1 or 2 workouts of any given rep scheme aren't going to be very difficult. i mean i could add more weight to make it different, but then that would affect the rest of my workouts for the week.
