Two quick questions -
1. The Giant recommends complexes in straight sets and also in ladders (Giant 1.2 and 2 are most similar). Why would you choose one over the other. I understand that GN states that ladders will allow for more volume and less fatigue, but would you choose one of these for one reason and the other for another, or is one (subjectively) better?
2. I can do 12 C&P with 20+24kg which would be ideal for the 1 series of programs. I can do 5 C&PP with 24+32kg.My priority is to build size (hypertrophy), strength as a secondary benefit. Should I go with one of the 1 series programs with 20+24 or go (really) heavy with 24+32 and do push presses for, lets face it, most of the reps. I might even have to end up doing jerks at the end of the workout.
Thanks for you thoughts in advance.
