Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

What follows is my next HST-cycle I will start in approx. 3 weeks. This is a work in progress, so feel free to advise me on what exercises should be omited or included..

I basically took bodybuilding.com's HST program (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/wotw39.htm) and stretched it to five days per week instead of three. Every day should consist of 8 exercises max.
Instead of using 2-week-cycles of 15s, 10s and 5s I use one week for 15s,12s,10s,8s and two for 5 plus two weeks with negatives and clusters (I'm still not sure how to handle the two extra-weeks).
