OK Ronnie, at the same time I've been reading this thread, I keep getting pulled over to your STS training guide. You've really kept me busy reading the last few days!

I've got a couple of questions regarding STS. First, am I correct that these splits (copied & pasted) are listed in the order from least physiologically demanding to most physiologically demanding?:

Three-Four Day Per Week Split For Beginners
19. Three Day Per Week Split For "Once A Week" Muscle Training
20. Three Day Per Week Split For "Twice A Week" Muscle Training
21. Four Day Per Week Split For "Once A Week" Muscle Training
22. Four day per week Split For "Twice A Week" Muscle Training
23. Five Day Per Week Split For "Once A Week" And "Twice A Week" Muscle Training
24. Six Day Per Week Split For "Once A Week" And "Twice A Week" Muscle Training
25. The "Super Blast
& if so, I've got an idea of working it like this. Please tell me if this looks stupid to you:

Weeks 1-4 of reload: Three Day Per Week Split For "Once A Week" Muscle Training
Weeks 5-8 of reload: Three Day Per Week Split For "Twice A Week" Muscle Training
Weeks 9-10 (deload): Cut the # of sets in half for the Three Day Per Week Split For "Twice A Week" Muscle Training
Weeks 11-14 of reload: Four Day Per Week Split For "Once A Week" Muscle Training
Weeks 15-18 of reload: Four day per week Split For "Twice A Week" Muscle Training
Weeks 19-20 (deload): ** Start of full 10 week pct**Cut the set volume in half for the Four day per week Split For "Twice A Week" Muscle Training
Weeks 20-28 Reload: I'm a bit torn on this one, as I'll be doing this without any anabolics, but probably back to the Three Day Per Week Split For "Once A Week" Muscle Training

I know I'm probably taking something simple & turning it into something complicated, but my thinking is to gradually build my work capacity as I progress through the program. Of course, if I get to a particular split & I over-train on it, I'll know I've gone too far & back off.
