Quad is a bit more isolated, but can go beyond leg extensions into things like hack squats or leg presses that target the quad more?
Thanks and like ARS haven't been this excited about a program in ages
Sure!
Firstly, FT is intentionally modifiable to focus on weak spots, literally to body'build' as needed.
So, in my experience (and that of thousands of others), you're gonna get good growth from doing "thigh" movements: COmpoiund pressing / squatting movements focused on knee and hip motion. "Big leg" stuff (although the "leg" anatomically is below the knee.... Never mind that... LOL)
You're dead on with the thigh movements. in particular, squats will be done for loading sets and MR's. This is for safety reasons (although smith squats are doable), to save the low back and b/c high rep squats can whack the CNS pretty good.
You can target the quad on compound "thigh" movements by putting feet closer together on a leg press, a/or lower on a the foot plate, for instance.
You can also do things like smith sissy hack squats
Or sommersault squats
Regular old sissy squats can also be used and if you have a sissy squat machine (holds the feet in place) or can makeshift one (can be done with a something to hold the feet in place and something behind the knee - I've seen this done in smith machine, and the knee pads for various selectorized machines - behind the knee)
Even DB deadlifts withe heals up can be done, too, as a quad-focused thigh movement.
Hope that helps!

When doing the muscle rounds how should we choose the amount of weight that we use? I know I missed, and sorry for the dumb question.

Hey guys I might of missed this in the book, but I have never heard of occlusion stretching.
Do you guys have some examples you can point me to or a page in the book where there are sample occluded stretches?
Thanks

MF,
Thanks - its great to have some help with this.
The only thing of note on some of those is that the early MR's may show me with some pauses during the sets of 4, which is not how I'd like them done, generally speaking (unless the pause is needed to re-set oneself, for balance, or what have you, but not to "rest" within a set of 4).

Scott,
On page 85 (choosing between basic vs. turbo) you mentioned bringing up a muscle group. Sort of creating a hybrid between basic and turbo.
If one is doing basic version could they simply do a MR for shoulders (weak body part) on day 3 and reduce the MR on day 4 to keep total volume the same?

When one set of back is listed, do we choose one exercise for width or thickness or do one of each?
