Dumb question: I’m just now starting the invictus programming. When it says 3 sets of deadlifts rest 45 shoulder press rest 45 etc, does it mean do all 3 sets of deadlift before moving on to press? Or does it mean do 1 set of deadlift, rest 45, then press, rest 45, then lunges, and eventually cycle through all the exercises 3 times?
