Question on FT sets

[Scott Stevenson]

well 15 years (don't laugh..)

it doesn't say anything about drop set or extra set, but in cases when lets the first time you are not sure with the weight and you can keep going what is the suggested way to proceed (just forget about it and next time use more?) ?

I have missed writing about them, but I did do abductors and calfs.

Hey Bud!

(I know there's a language barrier here, but still wondering if you've tried to work through the book descriptions. They are better than what I'll type here on the fly.)

So, typically, if you're doing loading sets with your go to exercises you would not miss the mark on reps b/c those are exercises you have been doing or have a sense of your strength on.

If you get a few reps in and it's obvious you've mis-loaded for the intended rep range (someone roughly int he 6-12 range), then you might adjust. Otherwise, I'd just carry out the set as you otherwise would and note the reps.

you are right about delts, i keep confusing delts and traps (in english)

but I want to make sure i get the general concept right:...
so its basically warm up, then one rep to maximum kg for 6-12 reps every week you add kg, if you dont add for 2 consecutive weeks you change order or exercise.. also the zig zag method is from set to set ? i.e. u do warmup for all the muscle groups and for day 2 tier 1 - you do - back, bench press, delts and back again...

What I think might actually help here is to maybe find someone who speaks your mother tongue as well as English.

That being said...

You rotate groups of exercises for Loading sets (see the section in the book - the very LARGE figure).

As Robbie noted, zig-zagging is for a single muscle group and those examples are in the figures in the book.

PS: usually I do spend sometime reading, and planning my next workout but this time is one of those times that everything is planned on the fly.... i thought it would be easy to follow but it seems that I need to be more concentrated when reading and do a bit more research on the exercises.

Yes, I think so. The total amount of reading for the section on loading sets is only a couple pages or so, so I bet you can bang that out.

BTW, "planned on the fly" is a nice way of saying it. Is that different from being strategically spontaneous?...
