In this particular workout, the shoulder press works the anterior deltoids to the greatest degree. You can add a greater emphasis by very slightly adjusting the incline of the bench you're sat on (no more than about 20 degrees though, or the stress will be thrown predominantly to the upper pec's I believe).

I didn't realize they went back and re-worded the workouts. They use to say 2 sets (or 3 depending on the exercise) of 12-15 reps and one set of rest pause. I did phase 2, week 5, day 32 the wrong way. When it said 4 sets of 12-15 reps, and Rest-pause on final set, I did 4 sets THEN the set of rest-pause. No wonder my workout was extremely hard tonight!!

That's how I understand it. 4 sets of 12-15 reps, then rest pause after the last set. That's how i've been doing it since the beginning.

You could be doing up to 7 "sets" for the first exercise of the muscle group. He suggests 1-2 warm-up sets THEN to do your working sets (3-4) THEN either a rest-pause or drop set.

You use the first exercise for the muscle group which is always a compound lift (i.e. Shoulder Press in this case) as you bench mark for strength. You'll notice that it's used in all three phases. So basically any of the ones with 4 sets are the same throughout the 12 weeks are what you need to look at.

i logged in at a little under 2 hours doing this workout, doing cardioacceleration and supersetting calves and forearms. I have no idea how to reduce my time at the gym, as I didn't dilly-dally or anything. Hardly took breaks if any. I added forearms to shoulders(2 exercises of 4 sets each). I use straps, so my forearms don't get enough of a workout, which is why I added forearms to shoulder day.

I really have to hustle if I want to keep it under 2 hours, too. I was never one to take more than a minute between sets, but seems like the full rest between lifts is key, so I'm really taking my time which results in a long day.

That said, seems to be worth it so far!
