LOL! I literally laughed out loud when I read your first post regarding HST I'm quit unfamiliar with cluster HST, actually this is the second time Im hearing about it really. MOTHERFVCKER 20 sets with 90%, thats your 3 rm done for 20 REPS!! If that shit aint intense I don't know what is.. That would fvckin kill anyone who's any less than insane. How long are u supposed to rest in between reps? (i assume they are done 1 rep at a time?) Do u deadlift every workout? (I imagine this is the most draining part) Does the frequency of the workouts change? And most important of all questions, WERE U ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE WHOLE FVCKING THING? LOL
Oh, also if u have a link where i can read up on it that would be much appreciated.
Hehe, you're right on everything. Rests between sets is 2-3 minutes. All four exercises are done every workout. Which means, deadlifts and squats every time.
i did it only twice, from 60% to 90%.
90% workouts really last a few hours, because you do 1 rep, rest 2-3 minutes, 1 rep, and so on.
I think at the time i did it i cut down to 15 reps on dips and chin ups, because i simply could not do more. Joints aching on dips and forearms giving up on chinups.
I want to do it again, but you have to take a vacation to do it.
At least for the 80-90% part.
