Hi Coach, refering below, to the example you gave for isolation circuits for the upper body, in a past thread, do you perform all these circuits after your heavy lifting - depending on heavy lifting volume - or limit it to 1-2 circuits?
B1. DB deadstart lateral raise 8 reps
B2. DB standing lateral raise max reps with same weight
20 seconds rest
B3. DB deadstart front raise max reps with same weight
B4. DB standing lateral raise max reps with same weight
Perform circuit 3 times
C1. Decline DB triceps extension 6 reps
C2. Rope triceps extension 6 reps
C3. Overhead DB triceps extension 6 reps
My apologies coach, i should have been more specific in my question. I use a training template that is based on HPM principles, where if i recall, isolation circuits could be utilised. I was just wondering if i could use some or all isolation circuits listed above, after the heavy upper pressing work for the main pressing muscles? I hope that makes sense.
My current training split is as follows:
Mon Upper Pressing - 3 main exercises
Tue Lower Pressing - 2 main exercises
Wed Foundation
Thu Neural Charge
Fri Upper Pressing
Sat Lower Pressing
Sun Neural Charge
No, you didnāt hijack it at all. I was thinking about doing the tricep isolation circuit at the end of the Upper Pressing session on the Monday, and the shoulder and chest isolation circuit at the end of the second Upper Pressing session, performed later in the week. I figure doing all the isolation circuits at the end of both Upper Pressing sessions would be overkill.
