To be honest I would never recommend something so complicated so that someone could work that hard trying NOT to really get stronger. To me it's a whole lof of trouble to go to trying to fit "science" to programming when an effective strength/mass program for beginners, coupled with a proper diet will work wonders. And that strength base will make ALL the difference in the long run, as 0311 was saying. All that trougle just to work up to a max that you aren't really good at making in the first place because of neural effiency, like he said, it doesn't really make sense.

To be honest I think HST is an overcomplicated fad that takes one of the fun parts of lifting away purposely. The whole thing hinges on strategic deconditioning and that is going to have different effects on different people. Without that all you have is a short linear periodised program with a lot of pretty science attached to it. IMO, I think short linear periodied setups suck for the most part, anyway. Sure people get results but you can get results and also have more strength to show for it. And being stronger is GOOD for you.

Anyway, I did HST and got nada for "results".

Right now you'd probably be happiest if you focus one some fairly short term strength goals, reach them and move on. Just try to appreciate those numbers going up and that will make the gaining part all the easier in the long run. But never forget that strength and mass are intimately connected.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
