Repeating exercises for block 2

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hello,

I’m about to start the Hypertrophy I template and to that end I had a couple of questions come up:

  1. I believe I’d be happiest trying to keep the template a little more consistent - just for the first time around - to better evaluate my progress. As such, would there be any significant drawback to repeating block 1 exercises in the 2nd block?

  2. Would it be possible to fit pull-ups into the training days as this is something I really want to improve at? If yes, how so? Quite niche, but I intend on using GPP days as Bouldering days (my main, but not only, goal is improving my physique to climb better), so doing pull-ups on days such as that would not work as it’d hurt the session itself. I’d also have to work out a way to fit in arm work but I hope to fit that in as possibly a 2nd supplemental

Hey Shad,

I think the movement variation is a great idea for hypertrophy, but if you want to keep the main lifts the same, that’s fine with me.

I’d swap the isolation leg exercises for pull-ups, but keep the rep, RPE, and volume scheme the same to control fatigue. You may have to use assistance with some of the higher rep schemes.
