I am starting on basic tier 1 so first day is lower load upper pump.. I was going to select these exercises for my "A" group as its my first week.
Load:
Squat (Thigh)
Close stance leg press or leg press (Quads)
BB RDL's (Hams)
Adductor Machine
Seated calf raise.
Pump:
ISO Chest press machine
Superset
ISO Seated row machine
ISO Shoulder press machine
Superset
Ab Crunch Machine
Cable Rope Hammer Curl
Superset
Cable Tricep Pushdowns
Now the issue I have is how do I progress? Looking at the book it says a typical blast lasts 6 weeks and there is a diagram at the bottom of pg.83 showing
1st week tier 1
2nd week tier 2
3rd week tier 3
4th & 5th week can be any tier depending how I feel recovery wise.
Next week (my second on the program) am I meant to go onto tier 2 A exercises then in my third week Tier 3 A exercises? then say if I revert back to Tier 2 for week 4 do I then Hit the B set of exercises or revert back to the A and try beat my lifts (progressive overload)?
I am confused as when to use the different set of exercises A,B,C.
Many thanks.
A,B,C is rotated week to week
Its suggested to stick to one tier the first time then gauge progress.... what you're talking about is just a way one can advice through a blast, yet it isn't needed if you find good growth from just a single tier... mainly s good way to autoregulate
