Well, theoretically you could. Its just that with weight loads so light during the 15s, there is not enough time under tension to really elicit any kind of real response by the tissue.
Plus, although load is the primary goal in HST, there are certainly benefits from the metabolic stress of higher reps.

I understand that the sets of 15 reps are more for your joints, but if you dont have these problems, why not just stick to 5 reps all the way through? |
