Interesting topic, as this has been something that has been on my mind as a potential tweak to the program to make it suit my personal needs a little better.
Due to work commitments, the days that I am able to get a training session in can vary hugely. As a result, workouts can end up having to be bunched up on consecutive days without me being able to plan in advance which days are going to be rest days that week. I kind of just have to get to the gym when the day ends up allowing it.
Something that never feels quite right to me is having the load/pump days back to back, which got me thinking about moving the upper pump work onto the upper load day and the same with lower.
In my mind the potential down sides to this are:
1) there is a slightly reduced frequency of hitting each muscle.
2) maybe the pump sets cannot be hit with quite the same intensity due to the muscle already being fatigued from the loading work (although I actually see this as preferable to hitting the pump sets when sore from loading the previous day).
In my mind the above potential down sides are unlikely to hinder progress and just make the system a bit more suitable to my particular situation.
I would be very interested in your take on the above Scott as I suspect that this was a setup that you may have even considered when designing the program, but ended up ruling it out.
Cheers, Ad.
