I will start a log I think to gain some feedback along the way. Last question for a while, would you put a day between the muscle round days or the load days if you had to train 2on 1off 1on 1off 1on 1off ?
Same answer as before "it depends"
Serious answer. Most people seem to put a day between loading days and do muscle rounds back to back.
For me personally I do loading days back to back. I train early on the weekends, so the gym is empty and I can zig zag and super set all I want to with little worry about machines or squat racks being taken up. My MR days are in the afternoon on weekdays, so its busier, but MR days allow me to be more flexible. Also I have a bad shoulder, so putting upper pump days the day before upper loading days sort of gives me a little bit of a pre-fatigue.
Doing both Loading days back to back is at times BRUTAL. But we discussed this in a previous thread, that the sort of back to back full body days creates a peak of stress, but allows for you to be semi-rested by the time you get around to your last MR day.
Again, take a look at what your weak points / injuries are and think about how setting up the days might help or hinder those. And again, nothing set in stone. Run one blast one way, and the next the other. See if it makes a difference
