I've never tested high for Hematocrit when on, and stay pretty hydrated (1.5+ gallon) everyday, probably a combination of factors.

That's not a bad speculation as far as omega-3's, given their noted anti-inflammatory and healthful effects, possibly helping prevent polycythemia. There does seem to be an age-related difference here, but exactly what's going on here isn't entirely clear:

FT Questions.... - Powerof2 - 04-12-2017
Just going to throw this out there. Tier 3 is no joke! Got threw week 3 of tier 2 turbo. Figured I would kick it up. Just finishing up week 3 of tier. It happened just like Scott said it would. All my numbers on load for lower dropped. Looks like I better read the cruse section of the book for next week. Made great progress in a very short time. I actually can't believe how much it improved my appearance so quick. I'm very critical of my self. This is the first time In long time I can really say I'm moving in the direction that I'm pleased with. Looking forward to see how far I car run with this.
Thanks doc!!

I could barely hang at basic tier 2; just barely on the cusp of overreaching. Recover fine from tier one. Training HIT style when I first started training really skewed my perception of a set.
Thanks doc!!

It's either leave the gym pissed because you didn't demolish yourself or wake up the next morning flat, smaller and super tired. Ahh the perils of being a nutcase

Thanks man. I feel u. Such a wicked disease. I think I might've overdone it with eating this weekend still weighing 6 pounds heavier today looking like a fat [emoji200]

You're welcome, man. I'm glad you've such a good groove going. Very cool.
Thanks, too, for the support over on the other board (pro muscle). There are some great guys over there, but sponsors and paying trainers have the ultimate say-so, so the "discussion" is highly "biased," let's say.
(You may have noticed that posts will often disappear. I've been censored, too, in one case where I felt the message I was sending was one that could save lives - literally. That's a whole over topic....)

This is the kind of training that I like to read about. Sounds like you're doing something right here.

I also have to say after 3weeks of TIER 1 i am very happy since i am breaking PR after PR.
I really have forgotten when starting FT was how going to failure felt, last routines was about volume and frequency. And was kind of boring .
With Tier 1 (not even thinking about shifting a level up tier2)
Because at tier 1 you have just one set to failure, a balls out set and you are done for the day. That i really like. With alot more volume for 1 muscle group you always keep some spare for the upcomming sets at least in my opinion.
Also like the fact that i don't have any DOMS or real noticeble soreness.
At week 2 tier 1 after the loading days i said to myself, after MR i will cruise.
And then after the MR's i feel fresh again for the next round
Really linking the exercise variations without having tendon or joint discomfort.
Ft is a real winner for me
