In preparation, I need to decide upon 3 compound exercises for the various body parts for loading purposes. Ie: Thighs might be Safety bar squat / back squat / 45deg leg press and I would then rotate these week by week? So lower loading week 1 may be 1 failure set of safety squat then obv quad, ham etc then the following week would be back squat to failure and so on.
Does this mean I am trying to progress in a particular lift only once every 3 weeks?
Warm ups - Obv I would warm up as much as I need to safely lift the main set but would you still be warming up on pump exercises and also muscle round days?
You are generally correct on the rotating lifts, and hitting them once every three weeks.
As far as warm ups. I warm up ALL muscle rounds.
Most pump sets I do NOT warm up. The weight should be light enough for you to just "hit it". and generally if you have to warm up, you're going to heavy. It also breaks up the flow of your super sets. if you feel you need a little bit of a general warm up before hitting them. I'd suggest doing that first, and then just jump into your pump sets and bang them out.
The only pump set I DO warm up is the first thigh. Just don't like hitting all that weight "cold"
