Hmm, i never noticed that before, lol. It didn't seem to matter terribly when i was doing it, but if you'd feel better doing a push and a pull for lower body on each session i don't see how it would hurt. Can you handle squatting and deadlifting that often?
Glad you're liking the program, though!did you just do a maximal day?
I've been doing a 3-day full body split with one compound per plane of motion, so I have been sqatting (in some form) and deadlifting (in some form) 3 times a week and on the same day. It's not an issue, really, I'm sure this method is fine. I thought I'd just look into it. I'll stick to the program as is.
Ya, I did maximal lift day yesterday. It went really well. Went with the DB Military Press instread of BB. Never done it with DBs, but I loved it! Feels a lot less awkward.
Also, did Dead Press for the first time. It's brutal! I haven't BB benched in about 4 months, but already by last summer my 10 rep was 185, though that was bring my arms to just below 90. Yesterday I set the safety racks to well below parellel; the bar was about a half-inch from my chest, and I was maxing out for 3 x 3 on 185!!! And, today my chest is just gone!! Amazing lift. I've never felt myself stuggled in the beginning phase of the concentric like that. This is definitely the plateau buster I've been looking for.
And, get this....for the first time ever I forgot to do an exercise! I don't know how, but I forgot to do my second lower pull. Didn't realize until this morning on the way to work. My girlfriend was driving me to work and I go "OH FUCK! I FORGOT TO DO AN EXERCISE AT THE GYM YESTERDAY." She goes, "oookk?" lol.
