Another pump set thread

[Delt123]

Yes, some, but certainly not all folks doing DC would run into that issue with backsliding during the intensive cruise (and many were getting really beat up and spending too much of the cruise NOT training...)

Jordan was doing the Pump sets just as straight sets in the 15-20 rep range, and his sense was that staying with higher tension and pushing the loads were the way to go for him.

I can't recall all the details, but at one point, too, he was also taking all of the loading sets to failure (rather than leaving 1-2 reps in the tank) and when he started doing that, he started progressing more rapidly....

Really, though, I can't speak for Jordan, but I'd not read too much into that. I know Jordan really likes DC training, but I also don't have the sense that he advocated widow makers a great deal. My guess is context / volume / stimulus of the other aspects of his programming are such that doing WM's wouldn't make sense, but again - only Jordan can say...

Thank you for your quick reply Scott! basically, he developped his own style.

As for the pumpsets: Should we really do it on the fly and as we feel that day? I can imagine it is harder to track progress that way? Or should we rotate through exercises? And by rotate I mean some kind of system in them?

Thanks in advance man!
