HST Cycle 3: Day 1

I've decided to adhere more strictly to the HST program instead of switching to an Upper/Lower body split.  Essentially what that means is that I will still training the whole body 3 times a week instead of just 2 times.    I have added the standing push presses, leg presses, and an alternate calf movement.  However, since I am keeping the db military presses, squats, and the other calf movement my workout has me switching between the two from day to day.  This means I am doing squats either once a week or twice a week etc. etc.  One thing I have noticed however is that the heavier weights are used much faster.  It's basically as if I am already starting on the second week's weights.  This might mean I have to not alternate the exercises too much or I should make the increments larger.  OR, assuming the weights I am using for the alternating exercise effectively prepares me for the next workout it should be fine.

Today's numbers:

Cable row: 100 for 15
Pull-up: 0 for 15
DB military press: 35 for 15
DB bench: 45 for 15
Squat: 135: for 15
Calf: 90 for 15
Abs: 15

Simple, but it's necessary to have an easy day to get back into the gym.

Short and sweet as well.
