FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Yea, I think that was my original question was about the 2-3 groupings, clearly the idea is to keep the same ones in rotation as long as possible, but what I've not personally wrapped my head around (until now) is that, for me, it isn't possible, or even worth the mental masturbation as I'll not be 100% sure on the gym I'll choose in DR (I have obviously scoped out a few options that all seem pretty suitable though)

I think I was also seeking permission to do the 2 groupings when as you say, it's not really needed - my situation is unique and problematic so "perfect" just doesnt exist!

Glad we're getting on the same page!

Yea I did a terrible job explaining myself again, I was referring to single leg / pistol squat-type where balance becomes an issue, I've really liked keeping my rear foot on the bench as that helps the stability. But yea, I explained that poorly.

Nothing wrong with balancing as long as that balancing foot doesn't gradually creep in as a contributor to performance.

Front squats are in for Saturday's MR day and Smith sissy hacks too! Thanks for the feedback.

You can use the same exercise for both loading sets and MRs.

The belt would've been a good variation (and was one I was originally scoping) but the gym took that away too... If I wasn't traveling a bunch I'd invest in a belt of some sort.

Overall though, you're 100% right and whilst it would be great to keep the same/similar exercises in varying gyms, from a loading progression it just wouldn't make sense to overthink it!

My iron mind super squats belt travels with me in my gym bag.

Much love to you and thank you for your patience with me

No problemo!
