To be honest Dave, I dont know why your even considering any HST. Personally, I dont think hypertrophy is important anymore. I want strength, and strength endurance, I couldnt care less how big I look. Not to mention, HST is designed for hypertrophy gains as you move from rep range to rep range. I dont know that simply grabbing two weeks of 10's is gonna net any significant hypertrophy for you.

I like the phases, it keeps things moving, and allows you to focus on one thing at a time. It will also make this a program you can cycle through again and again. Improving each time IMO.

If it was me doing this (which it very well maybe once I get my shit together) I would start with DF 5x5, go to DF 3x3. And thats only because i'm not familiar enough with the WS template to know how to use it correctly in this.
