Mountain Dog Training to Fortitude Training

[Scott Stevenson]

Hey Lisa,

Some quick thoughts:

You'll need to have a three rotation exercise selection for the Loading Sets (Day 1 and 2). You'll want to then couple those exercises in a way that makes sense for you gym / equipment availability. (I've posted a few times on this here).

For instance, if you want to do sumo squats, then commandeering the leg press and a glute ham raise might be tough.

OTOH, you could do the squat, and then drop the load down to do a Barbell HACK squat and follow that with a BB stiff-legged dead lift. (Or even put the SLDL first, as the weight might be intermediate to the squat and hack squat.)

I'd not do (sumo) deads for a MR - just a low back safety issue as form tends to fail there with rounding of the low back, which is asking for nasty injury.

I think you can probably just go right into Tier I from the MD program and adjust Tier as necessary.
