FT Questions....

[JLarge1989]

I believe all of these questions have been answered here.

You are correct on # of sets.

Low volume is how one might perceive it on Tier I, yes.

Whether or not you wait for your GF to finish her supersets is up to you and how closely you want to train with her, encourage her and make sure she's doing things correctly.

You rest 1:00 between pump set super sets if you're doing more than one Pump superset for a given pair / group of muscles.

Stretch after you've finished all the training a given muscle group for that day. (Stretching is not resting.)

Zig zagging is a term I chose to refer specifically to Loading sets only. This will be a practical consideration really anytime you come back to the same exercise and do another loading set for it. This would mean Tier II and III. (You don't really probably need to zig zag calf exercises, e.g., alternate between two exercises on one day. Just do one exercise on a given day for all the Loading sets on that day. If you're lucky enough to have a gym where you can zig zag them, and want to, go for it.)

Hey Scott,

You said "Stretching is not resting"

So basically without me sounding stupid, if that's possible, haha..

You do the loading set or sets depending on tier for say back then stretch then start the 90seconds rest, then onto the next exercise?

JLarge, ready through pages 94-96 again. It calls for "as much rest as needed between to be prepared for the next MR" I believe if I attempted to do 4 MRs in a row my heart would leap out of my chest. For me personally, I keep moving at a pretty steady clip. Between moving from machine to machine, loading weights, warming up the new movement. Its a minute or two, and I'm good to go. Granted, I'm brand new at this program, so take what I'm doing with that knowledge

As far as order, you do each muscle group, and then stretch. So for that day, back would be 3 MRs, then stretch, chest 2, then stretch, etc, etc.

Hey Buddy, thanks.
I thought that but then in the rest it says this

"if you're doing a Muscle Round every 10 minutes, you're moving at a decent pace"

That's why it confused me



I've Written out Day 1 Tier 2 on Basic to see if i'm getting it right.

Day 1 – Lower Body Loading + Upper Body Pump

Loading Sets 6-12reps
Bulgarian Split Squats 1 x 6-12 – 2mins rest
Leg Extensions 1 x 6-12(failure) – 2mins rest
Barbell Squats 1 x 6-12(failure) – 2mins rest
Hamstring Curl 1 x 6-12(failure) – 2mins rest
Adductors 1 x Rest Pause 15-20reps
(Stretch Lower Body Here) – OR would you stretch after each set?

Seated Calf Raise 2 x 6-12 – 1min rest
Standing Calf Raise 2 x 6-12 – 1min rest
(Stretch Calfs here?)

Pump Sets 15-25reps (Supersets)
Cable Crossovers / Low Pulley Row - 1min rest x 2sets
Lateral Raises / Leg Raises – 1min rest x 1 sets then Hammer Strength Press / Roman Chair Ab Raises x 1set
Barbell Curl / Skullcrushers x 1set
(Stretch above here or stretch after each superset then start 1min rest?)


Personally i think after Completing say quads ill stretch, after hamstrings ill stretch....i won't wait until i've done thigh, quad and hamstrings before i start stretching?
Same with the super set, im guessing i stretch after i've done both the chest/back superset, then rest 1min and progress onto the shoulder and abs superset then stretch again?
