Sussing out FT

[Scott Stevenson]

THANKS TO DENS for helping out on this one!

With this in mind it says in the book that the log is not totally essential with muscle rounds as long as you keep a note of the pool of exercises so when you return to one you know what your starting point is weight wise so I guess this answers my above question?!

The log book is where one would keep notes as to MR exercises and progression.

You could put a page for each muscle group in the back of your book and add things there, or write them in the day of the workout and refer back if you have the secretarial skills to find your previous records easily.

You are right it doesn't say that, it states about keeping a "pool" of exercises for MRs and then beating them! So the opposite to what I am thinking!

I think I may find an option for each body part and then hammer away to get stronger, then a second option for when I move up a tier (if!)

This is from the book on MR's:

"Rotating Exercises: Perform only one MR for a given exercise in a workout. Your exercise selection will be intuitive: Do exercises that you feel work best for your physique, in the context of how previous workouts went (and where you are sore, etc.), and making sure (as with PUMP SETS) to avoid those exercises that might cause or exacerbate joint or tendon pain. Muscle Round exercises should chosen be to “fll in the holes” in your physique. You don’t need to regularly do any particular exercises, keeping it very random and fresh. On the other hand, you might choose to hammer away at a given exercise until you grow quite strong in that movement and this is refected in your physique."

Here's what the book says about Pump Sets:

"Exercise Selection: Vary the exercises often and avoid any exercise that irritates a particularly sore area or a structure where you may be developing or tend to develop arthragia (joint pain) or tendinitis. Pump sets would be done mostly with (joint and tendon friendly) machines and cables with the intention to isolate the
muscle."
