At this point I decided to try something I thought about a while back. So last week I ran Tier II load/pump days. Then ran Tier 1 muscle round days. Worked pretty well for me and going to continue it this week.
Just thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone else has thought about or tried this.
And I figure Dr Scott will either applaud my trying to customize it for myself, or bury his head in his hands and cry a little in disgust. Either way...
I'm currently doing something similar to this in my current blast but running the Loading/Pump days at Tier 1 and the MR days at Tier 2. I've got a tenancy to absolutely bury myself on my loading sets so having one all out seems to fit with this quite well (think this mentality comes from years of DC training). Plus, I have loading lower on Sat and Upper on Sun.
The real proof in the pudding that this is working though is the strength jumps I'm making on each loading exercise at the moment: 10-15kg on pressing movements and 15-30kg on pulls per blast compared to 5-10 and 5-10 respectively when I was running the loading sets at tier 2.
