Basic Tier II - Day 2

[Scott Stevenson]

Ok I'm confused on this because I've always done them in 2 supersets with 1 minute rest, it actually says to do 2 supersets with 1 minute rest in the Virgin Voyage on basic tier 2.

That's an inconsistency but don't be confused.

(It was a monstrous PITA to make that Virgin Voyage program in the way I did and that was something I simply didn't change in the Filemaker Pro database when building up the templates I used to make the program. This is why I've not made any more of those Daily Trainers b/c an Overview sheet is much easier to follow and 10000000x easier to create. And the Daily Trainer robs the individual of auto regulation of exercise selection in a way that I'm less less in favor of, the more FT has been around.)

So, please do go with the Overview sheets as the default, but also read the below.

Let's not miss the forest from the trees here. The point is to create metabolic stress in the muscles trained and couple the sets together (superset), for the sake of this, as well as time.

If you do all the sets right in a row or do two supersets, in this one particular instance, either way is going to get the job done.

(FWIW, I personally prefer to separate out the calve pump sets if doing two of them, training calves separately from thighs - with 1:00 rest in between).

[[[The is what I intimated in my last post, as well: "For Tier II, you could split it up into a superset for thighs only and then just a single pump set for calves, if you wanted. This would put the stretches in closer temporal proximity to the sets for the given muscle groups (e.g., you'd not be stretching calves after you've' done several minutes of Thigh stretching after the set for calves)"]]]

Some days, in some situations, you may have not choice but to do it differently.

So, flairjobber, I apologize for the inconsistency between the VV and the Overview sheets. Hopefully your confusion has been alleviated.
