>Seems like everything old is new again. I remember reading similar things in misc.fitness.weights about 20 years ago, and a workout routine called Hypertrophy Specific Training was the suggestion. The idea is to do full body workouts every time, starting with 2 weeks of 15 reps, each workout increasing the weight until you reach your max, then 2 weeks of 10 reps, then 2 weeks of 5, then 2 weeks of rest. This workout routine tackles many of the problem points that the article points out.

Yes, Bryan Haycock popularized HST. It's a science-backed routine that you can pick up easily, without expensive training programs. Progressive loading increases each session for two weeks to your 15RM on the last session, the next two week cycle you progress to your 10RM, and the final, you progress to your 5RM. The last cycle is the hardest of all, haha.
