ripped, rugged and dense 2.0: few questions

[jax]

i've got a few questions about RR&D. if anyone has any answers or suggestions, i appreciate it. here's the workout if you're not familiar with it:

http://www.ruggedmag.com/index.php?type=Article&i=3&a=8

-how much rest should there in be between exercise? sets? tempo?

-i don't have access to a legpress machine for the calve press. would standing dumbell calve raise be an ok substitute, or should do something else?

-day 3 calls for "pullups". in the accompanying demo photos, they show the guy doing them with an underhand grip. should they be done that way (seems like a lot of emphasis on bis since there are curls on day 1) or would overhand be better.

thanks a lot.

#1. when i did it, i gave it 90 seconds. you do alternating sets. meaning, do exercise one, rest 90 seconds, then do exercise 2, rest 90 seconds, then back to exercise 1. the tempo i used was 311. but, check the article again, as if i recall, the tempo was different with just the calf raises and the sumo deadlift exercises.

#2. the standing DB calf raises are fine.

#3. i believe i did these in the traditional pull up way, with a pronated (overhand) grip.

#1, I did 60 second rests for alternating sets. Total rest between sets for the same exercise ended up being about 2 mins, 30 seconds. I too, tried to use 311.

#2, I subsituted standing 1-leg db calf raise. I did them on the stairs.

#3, I used an underhand grip like he recommends.

sorry jax. i was thinking of version 1.0, not 2.0. so ya, the chin-ups work instead of the pull ups.

no problem.... thank you both for the input.
