This has been a long time in the works gentlemen. I have developed a HRT system for beginners and for those training solo. The gains aren't quite as dramatic as those using HRT in it's intermediate form, but still very effective nonetheless. On the flip side, I have also developed an advanced HRT system which will have it's own thread. So here we go.

HRT for beginners is based on Split Set Training with Negatives (SST/N). The individual performs in this case 8 positive reps and follows them immediately with 6 negative reps (8+6), unlike HRT for Intermediates which is 8+4. With SST/N it's necessary to put the muscles through a couple more negative reps to come close to emptying the tank since there are no forced reps involved which completely exhaust the muscle under load. After performing the initial 8 reps in the positive portion of the movement you will still perform the negatives at a steady rate of a 5 count. You will still choose a weight thats between 60 and 80% of your 1 rep max and remember this is just a guide for determining the right weight to choose. You can increase or decrease the weight based on how well you are able to perform the exercise on any given lift.

So if you've been wanting to give HRT a test drive, now's your chance. Unlike HRT for Intermediate or Advanced athletes, you can start right away and do not need to have a minimum of 2 years experience in the gym or a training partner. You can reap the benefits of HRT starting today.

Lets go to work...
