ive been getting into strength training lately...However, after looking at HST type routines I see that affects Mass...so heres my question..im currently doing a 3 Day Full Body...if i approach reps/sets the same way you do with HST, you think i should gain some serious mass? or should i just ditch the Full BOdy and go with HST. i mean, HST looks pretty tempting. but i like 3 day full body idea.

For example the HST rep/set range;
first week: 2x15
2nd week 2x10
3rd & 4th week 3x10
5th week 2x10
6th & 7th 5x5
8th week 3x5
and so on and so forth...

and heres my 3 Day Full Body: (*=isolation exercises)
Monday:
Squat
Incline Bench
DB/BB Military Prwess
Pullups
BB/DB Row
*pushdowns
*calf raises

Wednesday:
Deadlift/shrugs
Flat Bench
Arnolds
Pullups
Cable Rows
*Reverse pec-deck
*calf raisess

Friday:
Squat
Incline Bench or Dips
BB/DB Row
Pullups
Hang Clean & Press
*Preachers
*calf raises

also, im also confused about adding weight..im such a newb when it comes to the technical side of weight lifting! Smile

Thanks in advance

The HST is just a set of training principles you follow and adjust your routine too.

You could turn that routine into an HST routine thats fine.

Basically the adding weight part is simple. Each mini cycle is seperate from the others, so 15's, 10's, 5's is all different.

you have 6 workouts per mini cycle, 3 days a week, 2 week mini cycle. 3x2 is 6. Each workout you want to progress in weight.

Now if you get to the 6th workout and you can keep adding weight to your lifts, keep going with that cycle until you reach failure.
