|  Which program do you think I should do? Should I do a program like this: Mon: Biceps, triceps, shoulders, abs Tues: Chest, back, legs, abs Wed: Same as Mon Thurs: Same as Tues Friday: Same as Mon Sunday: Same as Tues That is what my friend is doing. Or should I do 0311's idea of: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you really want to do HST, I suggest you do the basic program. Something like this: 2 weeks 15 reps 2 weeks 10 reps 3 weeks 5 reps First 2 weeks, everything is 15 reps per set. 1 set per exercise. Three workouts per week every other day. Example: Monday, Wednesday, Friday. [1 x 15] Squats [1 x 15] Bench [1 x 15] Shoulder Press [1 x 15] Pulldowns [1 x 15] Rows [1 x 15] Barbell Curls [2 x 15] Calves Second 2 weeks, everything drops to 10 reps per set, but now you get to do 2 sets per exercise. Still three workouts per week. [2 x 10] Squats [2 x 10] Hamstring Curls [2 x 10] Bench [2 x 10] Shoulder Press [2 x 10] Pulldowns [2 x 10] Rows [2 x 10] Barbell Curls [3 x 10] Calves (Just my preference to keep volume high for calves) Final 3 weeks, everything once again drops down, this time to 5 reps per set. Now you can do 2-3 sets per exercise. Still three workouts in a week. [3 x 5] Squats [2 x 5] Hamstring Curls [3 x 5] Bench [3 x 5] Shoulder Press [3 x 5] Pulldowns [3 x 5] Rows [3 x 5] Barbell Curls [3 x 5] Triceps Extensions [3 x 10] Calves But the thing is on this one he doesn't even have triceps. So which one do you think I should do? |

Gut reaction is that working out 6 days a week and doing 3 muscle groups per workout (abs dont count) is bullshit...stick with HST. Quote:

| LOL, HST has a plan (and fairly good one). That first thing isn't even a workout, it's some days of the week and labels of bodyparts - there's no plan for progression or getting better at anything (this is why they call it training), no organization, no exercises, no predetermined volume or weights. You are going to go in, do some crap and hope to be rewarded for it. Personally, chaos theory and random walk are crap because you randomly go nowhere and you want to be going in a straight line. The only reason newbs get any results is because all that stuff at least takes place in the gym with weight and they haven't spent any time there before. |
