Now that I have went through all exercises you outlined for the bulkers routine (besides hamstring raises...no machine) I have a question for you.
I notice that in the vids you did awhile back that you are using a Smith Machine for Flat Bench, Incline Bench, Close Grip, and Military Press. Do you prefer the Smith with HRT? I seem to have some issues with my stabilizers on the forced negatives when doing it with a regular barbell. It seems like me and the spotter are constantly trying to work the bar into the correct position while he is pushing down and me resisting. Which would be better for HRT?
Thanks,
Derek
I cover this point in the video series we are doing. This is a great question Derek and it tells me that you have been working hard on this program. For your heavier lifts, use a machine such as a Smith machine. For example, I also use Hack squats in place of BB squats on leg day. The machines provide more stability for these heavier lifts not to mention the safety aspects.
Im 18 years old and am looking for the best training routine and this hell raiser training has caught my eye, the only problem with it I see (for me) is the 3 days off, will this still work for me even tho my muscle recovery time is very quick since I am so young, I usually only take 1 day off or maybe 2 depending on my soreness per week

You'll need the time off, even at 18. The bigger question is have you been training for a minimum of 2 years straight in the gym...consistant lifting? You need at least that long for your joints and tendons to be well prepared for HRT.

About that, if i started HRT now and only have 1 year behind me, would it affect the results in a negative way? If so, why?

Thanks again.
A year is good. Two or more is better. The reason is that your tendons, ligaments, joints and skeletal muscle will need to be well conditioned to handle this HRT system without sustaining an injury. I would suggest only doing SST/N. Basically it's HRT without the forced negative portion of the movement and only negatives.

ya man ive been trainin hard since 15, this is where i left pushups and body weight stuff to actual weightlifting, i did one bodybuilding comp when i was 17 and take plenty of joint medicine, always been able to handle insane workouts and I actually have been doing HRT for a week now and love it, its the perfect amount of rest and am already beginning to see results!!!

Hello Rage, I have two quick questions regarding HRT, which I`m trying out for few months now.
1. I don`t have training partner. I`m working 8 normal reps, and last 4 "negatives" I slow the negative motion as much as possible. I just resist the gravity. It hurts as hell, but I wonder is it any good because I`m working alone, and my negatives are not forced?
2. I do two compound exercises per muscle group, each 10 effective sets; It`s total 20 effective sets (without warm-up) of HRT. I prefer doing 10set exercises as it focuses my muscles better than 4-6sets. Now I wonder if this regime is ok to combine with HRT?

It is effective and I call this SST/N. Hell..even picking up a weight and just doing something with it actually will accomplish at least something. Doing SST/N is very effective and a perfect way to get some of the benefits of split set training.

I always recommend no more than 6 working sets per body part when working split set training, but an extra couple sets won't hurt anything. 10 is a bit much in my opinion.
but which part did you work on your daily routine?
