Hi Guys,
Wanting some advice on how to set up loading days and zigzagging in a commercial gym. Lets look at legs for example
I've set up my 3 different exercises for thighs, quads and hams all ready to rotate and know that its super important to rotate exercises - however sometimes the equipment I need for these loading sets are taken.
Is it still okay to go into a session, knowing that loading will be on the legs and instead of going with a plan, adjust ad hoc depending on whatever equipment is free, (trying as best as possible not to have 2 sessions the same loading in a row) - I ask this because sometimes the squat and smith racks are taken for upwards of 40 mins, so if I have on my program to do squats - I could literally be at the gym for 3+ hours
also in terms of zigzagging at higher tiers - I know for a session of 2 sets of thighs, 1 set quads and 1 set ham, you would preferably go
Squat - leg extension (Failure) - squat (failure) - ham curl (failure)..
...because of the above issue with my gym, would it still be just as beneficial if I am unable to get to those machines to go
squat - squat (failure) - leg extension (failure) - ham curl (failure)
How do/did you guys get over training in busy commercial gyms?? Thanks everyone!
