Question about Hypertrophy

[slenamond]

My son and I did STS disc 1-12 using the rotation where you did each disc for two weeks for a total of 8 weeks.

Is the Hypertrophy section made to where we can do it that way or should we just do it only one time through?

Which is best?

Thanks,

You can definitely do it either way, many people are doing all 3 mesos twice through in the manner you did meso1, some are just doing 1 or 2 of the mesocycles twice through. I'm not sure there is a better way, it's more of a preference. I'm kind of impatient, so I've been doing these all one time through, I'll finish up meso2 this week.

I think that Cathe said she'd originally conceived of STS being done that way (where each meso takes 8 weeks) but felt that many people wouldn't want to commit to a 6 month rotation. So you shouldn't hesitate to keep doing the rest of STS the way you've done it so far.

I don't know which is best, but I'm doing the 6 month and am in week 1 of Meso 2. I plan to do each week twice as I did for Meso 1. For me, the second time I do a workout is always more effective and I think it helps before I move on to the next week. Part of it may be mental preparation but whatever it is, it's more effective and I feel I can push myself more.
