Do the exercises listed per week (Exercise 1, Exercise 2, and Exercise 3) need to be performed in that order, or can they be swapped around? I had done hack squats first today because the bench with the safety bars was taken, but that put the DB flat bench and the BB normal grip touch-n-gos back-to-back, and I actually ended up completely failing my BB touch-n-gos after doing the DB set, pretty miserably. Are the hack squats placed between them to prevent a risk of failure that potentially comes with performing two chest exercises consecutively like that? Also, what is your recommended minimum rest time between exercises?
Outside of workout performance potentially being altered based on doing 1 exercise before another, I don’t think it matters. Outside of maybe having to use less weight by shifting the order, you should be good.
I don’t recommend any rest between exercises. You just need to set up, warm up, then lift.
You can run GPP work right after a main lifting session in this program, yes? I had to switch today (which would have been Day 3) to an Off day, and I plan on hitting Day 3’s lifts tomorrow and immediately follow it up with GPP if that’s recommended/viable.
Nevermind, I see that in the .PDF it says you can run a GPP workout right after running a main lifting day’s session.
Question about GPP: so, I’m not that interested as of right now with integrating the HIIT programming into my training. I would like to just carry on with the steady state cardio. How detrimental is this going to be to my overall health and future strength training development?
