FT Questions....

Quick question

when running Turbo how would you set up scheduling

My current is pretty much
Lower Load\Upper Pump
Off
Upper Load\Lower Pump
Off
Upper MR
Lower MR
Off
Off or restart depending on how i'm feeling

But with Turbo would you need a rest day between Muscle Rounds? or could you in theory run as above.
Lower Load\Upper Pump

Hey!

First off I would personally suggest modifying tiers or types of pump sets or other variables before taking an additional day off. One of the key elements to FT is frequency mixed with intensity. By taking additional days off you are reducing the frequency. You are more likely to get more out of it by lowering volume tier and keeping the 4 on / 3 off schedule.

All of that being said. Yeah there is just going to be, I have no better way to call it than a "choke point", with Turbo. You are going to have to run two days back to back, and it's difficult. Thankfully the choice is yours as to where to place the difficulty. So really the discussion comes down to weak points, strong points, recovery abilities, schedule, etc. (Which we can happily discuss here)

To give you maybe a little bit of insight into how I chose my days for turbo. I personally run my loading days back to back. This seriously sucks, but I've adapted. I do this mostly based on schedule, since weekends I train in the morning, and have the gym mostly to myself. So I can zig-zag and use the equipment I want for loading. To try and offset how difficult this is and the fact that my legs are a strong point. I run upper loading first, and try and keep my tiers for legs at a point where they can recover and progress.

Hope this helps and gives some insight as to how you might do your own weekly schedule. If it all sounds maybe a bit to daunting, perhaps sticking with basic is better. Let me know if you have any problems or questions.
