havent tried it. i think jeff was thinking about it. ill look into it

the idea i have is while i believe it takes a minute or 2 between sets to rest you muscle group, instead of sitting there, that time can be spent doing a counter movement using a different muscle (push vs pull). that counter movement, i believe, helps the quick recovery of the muscle by doing a mirror opposite movement, and also partially stretching between each set. plus it keeps the heart going and the blood pumping and the mind in the zone.

i dont think this type of training is holding me back at all. for example today i did sets of 85lbs dumbell shoulder presses with wide grip chin ups in between with very little rest. i dont think id be lifting too much more had i just sat there resting instead of doing the chins in between.

also i should mention that we dont always do every exercise on that day of the routine. we always do the important ones, but today for example, i didnt do front raises or abs or shrugs. ill do abs and shrugs tomorrow instead. and sometimes maybe 3 sets instead of 4 and things like that. its not a super strict routine. i listen to what my body is telling me and make adjustments.
