    Hey coach
    i would like to ask if running a HLM for an athlete like me (basketball player) will work (have a weekly increase of weight on the bar) if i followed a rep and set plan like the one below while an athlete
    is practicing on tue/thu/sat and train at the same time ex: training followed by a bball practice or maybe like:
