Hopefully I can continue adding muscle.
It's a method designed by Blade. He is an old school member of the Original HST board, very smart dude. There are a few places you can read about it if you google Myo reps, there are a few links to Lyle McDonald's board. That's where I found a link to a translated (he's Norwegian) article.

It uses HST progression, and rest pause reps. You do one "activation" set to the prescribed number of reps, rest 10 seconds, do 2-4 reps, repeat this until you hit the prescribed number of reps. The volume stays pretty consistent throughout the 8 weeks going from 30 ish total reps to 24 during the heaviest weeks. There is more to it, but that's the gist of it. I just finished 8 weeks of it using the Asteroid stack and put on 5lbs and maintained my BF levels. Most of my gains came during the heavy weeks, but that was how HST worked for me too.
After 9 days off, I just started a new cycle sans Prime
ever heard of cluster-hst?people usually start with about 60% of 1rm and do 30 total reps.these are usually split up in 6 clusters of 5 reps.then you can either continously increase the volume(meaning you would do 6x5 for a few workouts, then increase weight and do, say, 8x4 and so on) or you can do something like increasing to 10x5, then increase weight and drop back to 6x5.the further the weight increases the lower you can go with the reps per cluster.some people go as far as doing 50 singles, but for me i prefer not to go lower than 3 reps.negative can be effectively used this way too, and for exercises like dips and chin ups you wont need a spotter either.
hm, i think i explained this badly
