I switched to HST after a long time of doing typical weight training routines and now do 1-2 sets per body part each time I'm in the gym. It's not nearly as extreme as what he's describing but I've cut my workouts down to 3 40 minute sessions each week and my gains have increased a LOT. Of course when I tell people that they freak out because there's an irrational belief that you have to put in tons of sets to see benefits.
Interesting stuff.
- dpritchett 16y agoI'm enjoying a two days a week interpretation of Starting Strength. It also focuses on progressive loading and low rep, high weight sets. http://startingstrength.wikia.com http://startingstrength.wikia.com
- zacharycohn 16y agoStarting Strength is amazing. Paired with GOMAD and it is hands down the most effective strength building program I've ever come across. Enjoy it!
- kscaldef 16y agoJust wondering... Does anyone actually want to look like that guy on the HST page? I took one look at that and said "this is not the workout routine for me".
