Help Basic Tier II Setup

[Scott Stevenson]

I appreciate the response. Where I am a bit lost is what is the difference between 1MR and 2MR? I have delts 2 MR listed are you saying don’t do two exercises when it comes to delts for muscle rounds, or are you saying don’t don’t two exercises that are the same.

I'm saying don't do the same exercise for two MR's. If you have two MR's on a given day for a given muscle, do exercises that hit that muscle differently in most cases. (Would you really want to do two rear delt exercises on nothing for the middle and/or front heads of the delt?)

Page 95 in the book.

. For instance I should only do rear delt on the pec fly for 1MR and then my 2nd MR would be a different selection of an exercise like lateral raises? Since it should be one muscle round set for a specific muscle?

Maybe.

If you see page 95 in the book, I've really explained it the best way I can, TBH.

Also for zig zagging, should I only zig zag one muscle group per work out, or only zig zag when I am done with a muscle group? For instance let’s say chest was first and then back. Would this be acceptable?

Chest smith machine
Cable fly

Stretch

Back

Rows 2x6-12
No zig zag preferred here, or zig zag here with an isolation because I am done with chest.

Stretch

Delts etc.

I hope it makes sense.

I get the sense you're not reading the book and looking at the examples there.

The figure on page 94 shows you how you'd zig-zag Day 2 loading sets.

There are also examples on page 89 and 90.

Zig-Zagging is just the alternation between a compound and an isolation movement for a given muscle group.


You're NOT going to do LOADING sets for a back exercise, then a chest exercise then a delt exercise, and etc.
