HST Question - Last 2 weeks...

[AirWolf]

I'm about to enter the last 2 weeks of my HST program and I'm wondering how to go about it. In my 6th week I've worked my way up to my 5 rep maxes.

Do I essentially drop back down and repeat weeks 5 and 6?

Well, some people will say to do a week of negatives... I never do that.

What I do is keep doing my day 6 of 5 rep max for an additional 1-2 weeks, then take a week off.. or up to 10 days.. then start over with the 10 rep max day 1.

I don't do the negatives either. I usually just use my max weight or add weight if I can for another 2 weeks.

Yep...this is what I do too.

For me personally HST does add strength,..So I'll continue with upping my weight for another week or two. On excersises I've hit my max on I'll start doing negs. Ya gotta have a good training partner or someone you trust to spot you though when doing negs.
