If its the load that important in hst and not fatique, why not just do sets of 5 all the way through, starting with the normal starting weight of 15 reps, and just increase weight like you normaly would in HST?

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?

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.

For every method before HTS, you must buy a book, or a course, or a magazine, while HST is completely free, so this is something new and strange.....something to think about........
Every things that I discover effective about training and diet, on me and on other people, I don't give free to everybody.
Why HTS is completely free? I think this is the real difference....
