FT Questions....

Sure!

You'd not be the first person to say that after the two MR days in a row, he felt like he needed an entire day of "eating up" or at least a couple cheat meals.


That's a decent peri protocol, but if your kcal are not enough to keep you gaining, then this is where I'd focus nonetheless. If you can eat more in those post-WO meals, I'd do so, esp. after upper MR's. (You might even make that a day when you hit an AYCE buffet or what have you and eat roughly the same thing each time so you can meter this and increase it.The idea would be to keep this meal a very large one, but of a known factor you can vary by adding to and at least not eat less kcal on days your appetite might be low. In other words, it would not be an ad libitum meal, where the kcal would / could actually go down.)


This is good, of course but you want the weight to move up as well. :) (IT's possible you're dropping body fat, so weight isn't the end all / be all of course, but I'd not expect that at 3yr into training and having done FT for a bit now.)

Thanks for this Scott! Noticed a bit of a plateau in strength today during my lower loading session so progress I think is slowing down from my initial jump in strength, so hopefully it us just nutrition related and not nervous system fatigue as I originally was thinking. Will bump up carbs this week post workout for sure and see if that helps!
