Question on Load Sets - xlg123 - 07-12-2015

I am starting Tier 2 Basic and have a quick question. On Day two for chest, it says 3 sets are done (load sets). Just to make sure I am reading this right, to do three following Zig zagging would look like this:

A w/o
Incline BP (6-12)
rest
Flat DB Fly (6-Fail)
rest
Incline BP (6-F)

Just making sure I only hit the flys once, and that is the basic setup. I guess the odd number of sets through me off. Thanks.

Yep, that's the "standard" way to set it up. Perfect. Smile

Thanks!!! Still sorting through and setting up, excited for tomorrow to start it.

I come from four years of DC which was good..... but I found burnout happening more and more often with it.

Sure!

If this is your first FT Progressive Blast, I'd stay with Tier I for a couple weeks to see how you're handling things.

Could have used this advice two hours ago, before the throw up feeling set in. Those pump sets are no joke!!!!! So yeah, Tier 1 for this week and next and will add on from there. WTF, I havn't tossed during a workout in years.

Thanks!!
