FT Questions....

Altamir gave you a fantastic answer!

I'd add that exercises you use for Loading sets should be your "go to" mass builders. This implies a few things:

• *Loading* sets - the exercise lends itself to HEAVY loading.
• "Go to" (and this is noted in the book) that these are tried and true exercises for you when it comes to heavy training. So, these would be exercises that you've been doing for a while (and thus can already answer the questions that Altamir noted).

(I think you might find depending on the hip sled machine you have that using those frog squats can feel a bit odd due to the tendency to slip off the hip pad.)

Now, this is not to say that you can't rotate in exercises that are new to you for loading sets. I do this all the time when a new piece arrives at a gym (or I go to a new gym, which just happened here in Tampa). The machines are a leverage squat and a hack squat, but pieces I've never used. But, I've been doing hack squats and leverage squats for decades. (I also tried this out first during a cruise that coincided with the opening of the gym.)

So, keep in mind that you've got pump set and MR's to do as well. Those "frog squats" immediately jump out as candidates for pump sets and MRs to me. (The are also a nice choice for Pump sets b/c you can do those and then do calves on the same machine during the super setted pump sets. )
