Why front squats? They dont provide as much over-all muscle and strength development as back squats do. You also need more back work then just chin-ups. Why not go on starting strength?

deadlifts, dont forget them. rowing too. hst is pretty simple: you find your 15, 10, and 5 rep maxes, plan out each set of reps for 2 weeks or so, so that oy hit your maxes at the end of the time length you choose...keep going if u can, or then add weight and decrease to 10 reps, etc. then 5 when you cannot keep adding and get 10 reps. the main idea is to continuing progressing in weight...so u keep adding weight and decreasing reps by about 5 once you cannot hit the goal rep range. rather than worry about bis and tris, i would do something like adding rowing and dips which would cove bis and tris too. i would alternate back squats in as well. deadlifts are a must. for example. squats/front squats 2X15 deadlifts: 1-2 X15 bench/incline 2X15 rows 2X15 ohp/push press 2X15 pullups - choose amount total to do and increase dips - choose an intial amount and add, unless you can do weighted 15 reps and add weight each time isolations if u want to, calves perhaps, or abs with higher reps like 15 i wouldnt do 4 sets, that will kill u. i did 3 sets and it took a big toll by the end of the round. as you get to 5 reps you can go to 3 sets, or on 10 if u want to as well hope that made sense
bulking/strength training soon to begin bill starr's 5X5 current maxes: squats: 255 deadlifts: 300 bench: 185 oh press: 125 goals for jan 1: squats: 300 deadlifts: 350 bench: 210 oh pressL 145

I've been doing back squats for too long, wanted to change a bit so I did So you say deadlift every workout? According to HST how many sets should I be doing per muscle group?
