Famine phase workout queries

[kribnutz]

Hello everybody,

I have some question regarding the workouts for the Famine phase, and am hoping someone would clear them for me. It is a long post so apologies before hand - just want to make sure I have got everything spot on!


FAMINE
(i) Have I understood the superset structure correctly here?
For Monday:
LEG/ BACK
a. 1 superset consists of 1 set of 4-6 reps of leg press/ squat PLUS 1 set 4-6 reps of seated cable/ t-bar/ single arm dumbbell rows ( no rest in between)
b. followed by 2 minutes of rest
c. followed by 2 more supersets in similar fashion
d. Take a 5 minute break
e. Start next superset: 1 superset consists of 1 set of 4-6 reps of seated cable/ t-bar/ single arm dumbbell rows PLUS 1 set of 4-6 reps of chin-ups (isn’t 4-6 low for chin-ups?)/ pull-downs
f. Take a 5 minute break
BICEPS:
g. 1 superset consists of 1 set of 4-6 reps of standing barbell curl PLUS 1 set of 4-6 reps of incline dumbbell curls PLUS 1 set of 4-6 reps of preacher curls ( no rest in between)
h. Followed by 2 minutes of rest
i. followed by 2 more supersets in similar fashion
j. done for the day
For Wednesday (this is where I get confused):
CHEST/ SHOULDER
k. 1 superset consists of 1 set of wide-grip bench press PLUS 1 set of incline press PLUS 1 set of decline press PLUS 1 set of shoulder press, all 8-10 reps each ?! Isn’t that a bit much?
l. followed by 1 minute of rest
m. followed by 2 more supersets in similar fashion
n. Take a 5 minute break
TRICEPS:
o. 1 superset consists of 1 set of decline close grip bench presses PLUS 1 set of skull crushers/ lying triceps extension PLUS 1 set of cable press-downs, all 8-10 reps each
p. followed by 1 minute of rest
q. followed by 2 more supersets in similar fashion
r. done for the day

Please let me know if the above workout regimen is spot on or if I have messed up somewhere royally!

Thanks a ton!

You have most of this right, some of it wrong (that's OK, it's natural).

Here are your guidelines, all in one convenient place:

Let me know if that clarifies things. If it doesn't, I'll go back tonight and answer each individual question for you.

Ok I think I have understood most of it correctly. Just one last query w.r.t Famine:
- everytime I do a jumpset or a isolation movement, I complete 3 to 4 sets of the same (as suggested for that day) before moving onto the next jumpset/ isolation movement - is this correct?

yes sir that is correct!!
