FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

I was wondering everyone's thoughts about the following scenario:
I'm a natural BB competitor and currently under Tier II for VV, so pretty decent amount of volume. My recovery is pretty good, I may add some extra carbs to periworkout to combat any growing soreness (cardio is currently 2 days/week LISS 30 min). My question is: I'll be doing a 16 week prep starting December, most likely HIIT and LISS almost every day. Should I scale back on volume when starting a prep under FT? I did not do FT last prep but high volume and towards the end I really felt drained. I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks!

This will give you some thoughts.

I'd do as little cardio as possible and as much weight training as possible, using your diet (and daily activity in the form of NEAT - just staying active doing day to day activities, even if you have to take up a hobby of sorts) to create the needed deficit.
