oh yes, the zig zag is on... but I kinda like it. It's like a mini deload... sorta.. most of the weight for the smaller lifts I don't increment as much and repeat workout weight, but the big lifts are definitely zig zag. The only reason I don't really care about the zig-zag too much is because of the cutting. If I were going for Hypotrophy then I would calculate the numbers differently. Not only that, but the reps are so close together, 15/12/10/8, you almost have to zig-zag unlike the "traditional", 15/10/5, where it is 5 rep. decreases.
