FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Question, I know the loading sets are the only pre set exercises...I'm wondering if people have better progress setting up MR set instinctive or pre set?...I'm writing up my next blast and am wondering the benefits. Im normally anal about doing what i set out to do, but it sucks when you have to wait on a piece of equipment. So does the variety from keeping the MR set open help?

This question is especially deserving of the very specific answer, "It depends..."



If you're working on a specific weakness, then using specific exercises (that are "pre-set" in that you use the more often than others) will be a good call. If you're lacking quad sweep, then you'll be using somersault squats, close-low foot placement leg presses and maybe even smith sissy squats.

OVerall, though, variety is a good thing for putting on size in general, as the activation patterns will differ, ensuring you're not spreading the stimulus love all about the muscle(s) you're training.

Simple example: Doing ONLY incline pressing would be a good way to bring up a weak upper chest, but not the best way for overall chest (pec) development.
