FT Questions....

[patjohnhyde]

Big Picture question: How would you possibly know how you need to tweak things in a program that you've never even done?...

Maybe you will get plenty of Loading with just the Day 1 and Day 2 of the program as is, once you try it (and even make faster strength gains)?...

Have you considered how you'll vary Volume Tier or what you can do in terms of both Exercise selection as well as load seleection and progression with MR's?

While Dead and BB squats are not a good choice for MRs (which I think you know), you can do BO rows and smith and machine squatting movements here.

Also, there is the option with MR's to keep the loading such that you're just barely getting to the 4th set of the MR when failing (as opposed to failing int he latter part of the 6th set or even perpetually getting 4+ reps in the 6th set of the MR). This way, your loading is heavier during the MR, which will favor strength gains.

Thanks for the quick reply!

All points taken on board and all make complete sense; I'm sure youve considered 1000's of variants in the prouction of what is now FT

Probably just my ego itching for hitting big numbers sooner on the more "traditional" lifts with the tweak I outlined in my previous post

As a side note, what do you think creates the largest caloric expenditure out of the different sessions?
