After doing some research on different methods of lifting with muscle mass/hypertrophy as the ultimate goal, it seems like a good idea to give HST a try. Being that I'm still a beginner, I've got a few questions that hopefully can get answered. I'll just list them off:
-On 2x10 sets, how long should the rest period be?
-What is a good way to do the abs? I have been using the negative incline bench with two 35lb weights stacked on my chest, but I can do a lot more than 2x10 with that, and it's hard to stack bigger (45lb) or more (3x35's) weights, so perhaps there's a better way to do abs?
-The rest are mainly definitions of specific exercises and how to do them. Those would be
.stiff leg deads
.rows
.shoulder press
.lat raises
.rear delts

There's one of the links I'm working off of. Thanks in advance for the advice/help, any other thoughts are also appreciated.
