I think we'll stick with the same order for a week or two, then switch as you suggest.

In your case, I'd still want you doing the leg press last since you're not quite used to doing this style of training yet and the upper body fatigue isn't going to cause any problems for your leg press. However, I'd recommend flipping the order from Row/CP/PD/OP to PD/OP/Row/CP.<br /><br />This would overcome the fatigue you're experiencing on the OP late in the routine, as you already have had 3 sets in front of it. In effect, you're focusing on vertical pull/push one month and horizontal pull/push the other.<br /><br />Best,<br />SkylerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163554012880183003.post-54835738402092036442009-07-29T21:15:06.162+01:002009-07-29T21:15:06.162+01:00Bryce - yes, we normally alternate - but we have b...Bryce - yes, we normally alternate - but we have been talking about following each other from exercise to exercise to reduce the rest time. At the moment we don't do any spotting anyway, so this would work fine. However, I do like the idea of taking it in turns and this may become necessary if we start implementing any of the methods that require assistance from a partner.Methuselahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09134860337125242027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3163554012880183003.post-34760432649090072122009-07-29T13:29:20.985+01:002009-07-29T13:29:20.985+01:00Hey Methuselah,
Glad to see your progress. I noti...Hey Methuselah,<br /><br />Glad to see your progress. I noticed you said that you were able to move quickly between exercises because you had no training partner.<br /><br />Do I take it correctly that you normally alternate who is exercising and who is spotting between exercises? As in: you row, he rows, you press, he presses, etc.<br /><br />If that's the case, I wonder if you wouldn't benefit from doing all of your exercises before he does any, as it recommends in BBS. <br /><br />Just curious.Brycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07485589400686017338noreply@blogger.com
