So as an update, I’m now on my second training blast on this rotating cycle. I had kicked around the idea of going with the family man plan, so the schedule wouldn’t have to rotate but Scott suggested that trying to fit all the muscle groups into one session would perhaps involve a little too much compromise and frankly, I agree. We also discussed potentially breaking from the upper/lower split and dividing into Push, Pull, Legs on the weeks I train 3 days straight, which I incorporated this week for Muscle Rounds. This worked fantastically well! I am definitely hellaciously sore going into the weekend!
On the load/pump days I train 3 days straight, I’ve been using the rotation of Upper Pump Day, Lower Load Day and then Upper Load/Lower Pump on day 3. I find that the pump sessions get me more sore than the load sessions, so I like to do Pump day first to give myself an extra day of rest before the load session. This has all been put together fairly intuitively week to week and with the help of some ideas thrown out both here and on Instagram by Scott himself. I’ll continue to update this thread when new ideas come to mind and have been successfully (or unsuccessfully) been put into practice. You can also check out my log if you’re curious to the specifics of how I’ve executed this up to this point!
