How much time should I rest between sets on the generation 2 low fatigue program? (I apologize if this has been answered already, and also for such a long winded question for what is probably a much easier answer).
With generation 1 low fatigue, most of the exercises alternated between upper body and lower body (e.g bench and squat) or between antagonist muscle groups (e.g. dips and chins). I know this was not always the case, but for the most part, it seems to work out that way. I would typically do a set of squats, wait 2 to 3 minutes and do a set of bench, and then wait again two minutes and do a set of squats again. This allowed me to give my legs about 4-5 minutes of recovery between sets and my chest and 4-5 minutes of recovery. I felt this was an overall better use of my downtime instead of just waiting 4-5 minutes for every single set prescribed.
With generation 2, I have noticed that most days there are quite a few programs that focus on the same muscle group in a row (e.g. day 1 could go from competition bench press followed by Larson press, followed by a three second eccentric bench press, and then again followed by tricep extensions). If I would try to super set two of these exercises back to back, even if I’m causing 2 to 3 minutes between sets, that muscle group isn’t getting the same recovery as it was when I was doing generation one super sets. With generation 2 are you advocating for less super setting, and would like followers to go in order of the prescribed exercises, and wait 4 to 5 minutes between each exercise? Or do you feel super setting a Larson press and an eccentric bench press with roughly 2 to 3 minutes between sets would be ample enough recovery?
I hope this question makes sense! Thank you for your time!
