FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

GREAT Feedback, Altamir!!!

THANK YOU!

Some thoughts on cruising to add to what you've said:

Just in case - the Intensive Cruise duration is based on he length of the blast, i.e., would be about ⅓ the length of the blast, so 4 week blast would mean maybe an 8 - 10 day cruise, but a 6 week blast would require about a 2 week cruise.

Also, in your case, some tweaks to the cruise could help you out, too:
1.)Consider how you spread the training out in terms of the days off at the end of he cruise (~⅓ of cruise period). You might stretch your training days over something more like ¾ of the cruise period, so that you're not taking 4 days away from the gym entirely, for instance.

2.) If you're dieting down in caloric deficit, using the cruise period to INCREASE kcal and produce some weight gain can be very effective. I've dieted a lot of folks this way (long before FT): Diet for 3-4 weeks and then have a week with higher carb and kcal to re-set motivation, restore thyroid and gain a bit of muscle with an overreaching effect. This woudl fit really well with a 4 week blast set up, I think, esp. as you get leaner and need to be more careful about muscle loss.
