FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

haha. I do my best to train with "controlled insanity", at least from my perspective (probably just insane from others)

I will probably be getting something VERY close to this.

I'm pretty lucky as my work will order it for me and foot the bill. Quite a few people have already got them and seem to like them.

Ah, that's a simple set up. Nice.

And I've never gotten DOMs quite in the way that I get DOMs with FT. With whole body training and the frequency the soreness seems to "settle" over me. Working from one part of the body to the other as the day progresses. Chest is always last. Shoulders and arms always first, back seems to stick with me the longest. It's strange (though as you said DOMs is overall), but it's sort of useful. For example, I know a did a KILLER job on my bicep and tricep pump sets on upper pump day, if I get DOMs in them on upper loading the very next day, just from the compound lifts.

and I sometimes, but not really, miss newbie DOMs. I need to be able to function

Very well said. The question is asked all the time r.e. the value of DOMS for monitoring training progress and inroads and this is a great example of making use of soreness when you're really attuned to what you're doing.

I do wonder what folks who don't train think about all the grunting and groaning I do sometimes... LOL

Leg training followed by AYCE sushi and sitting for a couple hours is an absolute guarantee for a labored effort to get up from my chair!
