i am actually in the middle of an article about HST. it is good for begginners & as a maintenance phase (just to maintain/not bulk). i will use this between bulking phases for 2 reasons. 1) you cant be on a bulking routine 100% of the time- too much stress on the body & joints for me. 2) its good to change routines & when i go back to bulking my body gets a good shock & i get good results.
but i refined the hst routine to upper body one day / lower body the next & added more sets to all the exercises. i need my warm up sets .
i will trade off hst to maintain only, my bulking routine & a true rest pause routine
