HST - Don't have sufficient weights. Suggestions?
Hi,
With all the hype regarding the HST training method, I figured I would give it a try. The problem is, however, because of time, money, and other factors, I workout at home with a limited amount of equipment.
In particular, I don't have sufficients weights to get heavy enough for a 5 Rep Max. In a couple cases, I can only get the weight heavy enough for a 10 Rep Max. What would you suggest I do during the 5 RM phase of HST for these particular exercises? Should I just do them with 10 RM as though they were 5 RM? Should I do an additional set or two at 10 reps?
Thanks for any suggestions you might have.

Just change the rep ranges around. So instead of 15, 10, 5. Try 15, 12, 10.
"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

"Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."
