Welcome man! On MRs, you only hit failure once. So, if you fail before set 6 with your starting weight, you’ll lower the weight to one where you can finish the remaining mini-sets without failing again. It looks like you’ve been doing them correctly based on your log! It also looks like you were using appropriate loads, it’s ok to fail on set 4 and then aim to progress deeper the next time you use the exercise. As far as progressing FT with on a cut, some other members will have to chime in as I don’t have any experience with that yet.
Some things I noticed reading through your workouts, and I apologize if you did these intentionally:
-on Tier 1 upper body loading, the 2 work sets of back refers to one of a thickness exercise and one of a width exercise
-on that day you stretch each body part after you train it and before moving onto the next (ex. Loading sets for back ->stretch back -> loading sets for chest -> stretch chest etc)
-on the lower body pump session after upper loading, you choose to do quads OR hams, and do all 3 exercises for the day as one continuous superset and then stretch everything after (ex. Thigh exercise->quad exercise->calf exercise without rest, then stretch)
Let me know if you have questions on any of that.
Thanks for the response much appreciated. I read somewhere Scott said to decide how much time you needed between pump sets unlike the loading sets, I must have got confused with a higher tier - I will do the 3 as a super set tomorrow
