to zigzag or not to zigzag

BG,

If you're doing TIER I, you're only doing 1 set of squats.

I'd simply at yet another warm-up using squats before your first working sets for that exercise. Warming up is doing whatever it takes to warm up, so simply do that.

Zig-zagging is a form or pre-fatiguing and/or adding more focused stimulus and volume to a give muscle group without taxing the nervous system as much doing compound exercises would. You get variety of stimulus, focused (isolation exercise) and/or pre fatiguing depending on how you order the exercises.

Thanks for answering Scott, see I told you id join up :-p
I know tier 1 is just 1 set of squats, 1 quad and a ham exercise. I just mean in the warming up process, when I move from the squat and warm up the other stuff and then return to the squat, I seem to of been pulled out of my groove for them.

I think the root of my knee problem is this bar path I seem to develop once and a while, plus I notice from a back shot my inner ankles collapse but still with knees following toes flared out if That makes sense....so all that adds pressure on my inner knee joint.

It's an issue I'm trying to correct currently. I just wanna feel my damn quads when I squat, not my knees goddamn it lol.
