Week 6 of Blast number 3 on Tier 2, which is the highest I have gone and meets my requirements so far.
I know FT is not set in stone and can be adapted to meet our own needs but I wonder on a couple of things.
I know generally its suggested to have a cruise period after 5 or max 6 weeks, but if I am recovering well and still feeling pretty good can I continue or should I force myself to take the cruise?
Prior to FT I was running Nortons PHAT for a long time and so I feel this set me up to be used to the physical exertion of FT so I think intensity is something I prefer.
My second question is with regards to loading exercise selections. I know we pick from a pool of 3 exercises rotating every week so the same exercise gets hit twice in say a 6 week blast. What is the theory with this? Wouldn't it be better to have a set exercise such as say Squats for thigh load and stick with it for 6 weeks to give a chance to really progress with it?
