Introduce Yourself: If you've never Posted, Post here please...
New member here. Always trained with a sport or powerlifting mind set. Thought I would try out ft for long term joint health and a more scientific approach. Thanks Scott for all that you do.

First time posting. Purchased the ebook to use in my next off season after I compete at Jr Nats in Bodybuilding and possible one other local show. I'm my own harshest critic so I see a lot of lagging bodyparts so being able to use this program to hit them more often sounds like a no brainer.

I'm new to all this - including any form of training - 6 months to be exact.

I've lost a total of 50bls since July through doing weight training, cardio and clean eating.

Anyone that's interested in my journey you can find me on instagram Smile

Just started my thread on here to document my own FT training so any advice/help appreciated Smile

Great to see you here, Katie!

(For those reading, Katie is stepping up big time! She tagged me on instagram, we interacted briefly, an 2d later she's got a log running. She's getting after it!)

Hi all, just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Alix, 31yrs old, currently weigh about 75kg, I used to be a professional Muay Thai fighter at around 63kg so been on a quest to put muscle on ever since then. Would like to be lean at over 82kg but only ever been up there once. I run a CrossFit gym in Hong Kong, orginally from the UK and been here nearly 8 years now. I haven't really trained CrossFit in about 3 years and have mainly been doing body comp style stuff and borrowing lots from bodybuilding recently. As a CrossFit gym I've got loads of machines, hack squat, ham curl, hammer row, cables etc, so I can get the best of both worlds.

I did a John Meadows program and worked with one of his nutrition coaches, really enjoyed that. I found Scott through some posts in the UK from working with JP, read up lots and bought the FT ebook, and have read through it already, great material! I was going to sign up for the VV program but as I regularly programm training and nutrition for others and have a good understanding of programs I thought I would have a stab at it myself and resort back to coaching once I have experimented for a few weeks.

I would have given my left arm to attend the seminar in the UK but wont be back home there until June for summer so missed that Sad Any more planned please give me a shout. Over the last couple of years Ive really focused on muscle contraction and using muscles rather than just moving through a movement, its helped lots but still feel some muscle groups give me a harder time and especially contraction in leg muscles evades me, its something I will keep working on but feel some practical time at seminars could help.

Hope to learn lots on here and share my experiences with the program. No doubt I'll make a few mistakes but happy to ride this program out for a while and get some good returns from it Smile

Hi new FT and think I'm nearly there with it just Very quickly I have searched the forum and have got a little confused. Tier 1 basic. I have gone with hack squat, Iso leg press, barbell slb and adductor cables. These are straight sets warmup sets for hack squat then 1 all out set? Then the same for the other exercises apart from adductor where I will go dc style. On some forum posts it mentions a kind of zig zag for thigh exercises on week 1 tier 1. If that's the case do I just warmup on all exercises then do my all out set of hack 2 mins rest then hit an all out set on leg press rest then an all out set on bb sld?. Cheers

Hi mate, I am no expert but the way I have translated it is do whatever warm up needed to hit that all out work set to failure without it affecting the work set.

Zig zags are when you have more than one set per body part which wouldn't be relevant until higher tiers.

Thanks for the reply I interpreted it a bit different in that even on tier 1 you would warm up on all exercises then once warm you would do your all out set rest 2 mins then your other all out set rest 2 mins then all out again. This was only for thighs though on tier 1 basic. Not sure which way to go!!
