[quote=mrmoo][quote=Juggernauttx]Another thing I have found effective in HST is to alternate exercises. I see Bryan frequently recommends this as well. So instead of doing one exercise for example in a 2 week block, you can do 2 different exercises and alternate them. <snip>

I'm not sure if I understand this.
If your doing 6 of the same excersize let's say the percentages break down something like this: 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%
If your doing 3 excersize for two different excersizes, the percentages would break down something like: 90%, 90%, 95%, 95%, 100%, 100%
Now wouldn't you be more likely to train to failure using the second method? Your working more frequently with near maximal weights.

You might just train to failure one more workout per 2 week block. This is nothing. There is nothing wrong with training to failure once or twice. It is when you do it every session. The rest you got right. In this variation, you will have more tension on the muscle, hence more of a stimulus for muscle growth.
