Hi folks
I'm 3 weeks into my first blast following the 3 day variation from the book - starting at Tier 1 but feeling ready to move onto Tier 2.
Some of the concepts are still a bit fuzzy, for example zig zagging - If anyone could take a look
at my proposed Tier 2 (3 day) routine and offer any feedback that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and I look forward to participating in the forums
Day 1 - Upper Loading/Lower Pump
————————————————
For loading sets (Back x 3, Chest x 2, Delts x 2) I'm unsure re zig zagging. I understand that zig zags are per muscle group followed by a stretch so for example would it be:
BB Rows x 1 (not to failure)
Weighted Pullups x 1 (Failure)
BB Rows x 1 (Failure)
For Chest & Delts would this be 2 sets of the same exercise (with only one going to failure) - or would the recommendation be 2 separate exercises per bodypart (1 set compound & 1 set isolation) each going to failure?
For the lower pump set am I right in thinking this would be a non stop superset, so for example 15-25 reps each of the following?
Leg Press x 1
Leg Ext x 1
Ham Curl x 1
Calf Raise x 1
Leg Press x 1
Day 2 - Lower Loading/Upper Pump
————————————————-
For Lower loading, am I correct in thinking that Thigh/Quad/Ham are treated as a superset - so for example:
Smith Squat x 1 (not to failure)
Leg Ext x 1 (failure)
SLDL x 1 (failure)
Smith Squat x 1 (failure)
Followed by:
Calfs x 4
Adductor RP 1 x 20-30
Upper pump supersets are straightforward enough, no questions there
Chest/Back x 2
Shoulder/Abs x 2
Bi's/Tri's x 1
Day 3 - MR's
———————
No questions on Muscle Rounds:
Hammer Strength Iso Row x 1
Low Pulley Row x 1
Lat Pulldown x 1
Hammer Strength Decline Press x 1
Pec Deck x 1
Hammer Strenght Shoulder Press x 1
Weighted Dips x 1
Preacher Curl (machine) x 1
Leg Ext x 1
Calf Raise x 1
Abs 1 x Pump
