FT Questions....

Thanks buddy, super excited to make some progress with fortitude, did my first session last night but struggled to get a pump which kinda sucked, and ended up hitting failure prior too. Is there anything that can assist in this, such as increased blood flow ?

Also am I right in thinking that these pump sets are not pre determined and more of a see what machine is available at the time sort of thing ? Essentially making each day/week completely random, even the days where I repeat the A,B,C week.

Again whats the crack with the muscle rounds also, is this a pick a load of muscle rounds based on the criteria stated in the book (easily rackable etc) and then on the day choose one?

Just a side note, as your main question has been answered:

This is going to be a tough sequence of exercises to do, practically speaking, unless you plan to use a selectorized leg press (stack and pin) and your gym maybe has a couple of those (in case someone jumps in on you).

You could stick in the rack and do this:

BB Back squat.
BB HACK Squat (bar behind the back) - You might need to learn how to do these first, in which case I'd do them before back squats.
BB RDL (or simply do DB ham curls, which would save your back a bit.)

This will keep you in one area. Remember to start your rest interval jus when you start actually recovering / resting. So, for instance, after the back squats you'd strip down the bar, position it for BB hack squat and THEN start timing the rest interval.
