    Slingshot Training Question

    I'm starting ANABOLIC CRUISE exercise bellow and wanted to know if I had to do a warm up set for them since its 4 sets each.


    Day 7: Monday (21 sets).

    1) Chest: The 15 degree Incline bench press (secondary exercise). Work set # 1 would be a high rep set to good failure. Work set # 2 would be a medium rep set to good failure. Work set # 3 is a medium rep set to good failure. Work set # 4 is a low rep set to good failure. (4 sets)

    2) Shoulders: Leaning uni-lateral medial deltoid laterals on a about a 45 degree incline bench (secondary exercise). Work set # 1 would be a high rep set to good failure. Work set # 2 would be a medium rep set to good failure. Work set # 3 is medium rep set to good failure. Work set # 4 is a low rep set to good failure. (4 sets)

    3) Triceps: Uni-lateral machine press downs (secondary exercise). Work set # 1 would be a high rep set to good failure. Work set # 2 would be a medium rep set to good failure. Work set # 3 is a medium rep set to good failure. Work set # 4 is a low rep set to good failure. (4 sets)

    4) Lat width: Close grip pull-downs (secondary exercise). Work set # 1 would be a high rep set to good failure. Work set # 2 would be a medium rep set to good failure. Work set # 3 is a medium rep set to good failure. Work set # 4 is a low rep set to good failure. (4 sets)

    5) Biceps: Unilateral inverted preacher curls (secondary exercise). Work set # 1 would be a high rep set to good failure. Work set # 2 would be a medium rep set to good failure. Work set # 3 is a medium rep set to good failure. Work set # 4 is a low rep set to good failure. (4 sets)

    6) Brachialis/Outer forearms: Reverse barbell curls (secondary exercise). Work set # 1 is a high rep set to good failure. (1 set)

    DNSource, you do not need a warm up set for the exercises you listed above because they are "secondary exercises". Warm ups are mandatory for "key exercises" only.

    Keep in mind that key exercises are to be used in conjunction with the secondary exercises listed above during all 3 training phases (PRIME/BLAST/CRUISE). Just wanted to clarify.

    Good luck

    Ronnie

    Ohh wow! I started completely wrong yesterday I just did it as it said there (just the secondary ones). So from what I'm getting now I have to do the primary exercises for each one of those in the BLAST... If thats the case, do I do the sets in the same combination??

    I'm not understanding your question in regard to the same combination.

    In the blast you would do:
    Primary Exercise first. For how many sets it is laid out at

    then do

    Secondary Exercise for how many sets it is laid out for.

    This is for each bodypart you are training in what ever split you are using.
