Sure - Post a link!

Chris is a good dude in my experience.

I don't know anything about this particular program. I'd want to see the evidence he has / know the rationale moreso to be able to evaluate this idea.

I would think that if you lowered training volume otherwise, so that those "supercharge" days are not in addition to a training volume from which you are teetering close to overreaching, this could work. But really, that's just changing the nature of your training regime, which isn't anything unusual (not some how supercharging the CNS...)

[Not sure if that's his term, but simply calling something "Supercharging" when it is supposedly rooted in a physiological phenomenon makes me immediately want to question legitimacy. When folks are making up new terms for biological phenonena - and you'll hear this from coaches and people in the industry trying to explain things with what is essentially Bro-science - it suggests they may not have a strong scientific background and/or base of information upon which to stand in that circumstance.)

I would imagine that supercharging was my own insertion on that one. If he used it then it was in the instructional video because it is not actually in the article. I definitely would not want to add these in if they would be detrimental to the FT methodology but felt good using them before on off days with a 4 day split. It was a different type of program with body parts getting hit twice a week but a little higher volume each training session. So the comparison would be like comparing apples to oranges on how it would work on off days for FT since training is different.

My thought was also two fold, First, does it actually 'charge' the CNS, or does it just activate the CNS more frequently without stressing which keeps it firing more efficiently.
Secondly I hate that when I start using TUT methods on lifts and what not that I tend to get slower. My reaction times just start to go down and reflexes are not as quick. However adding in some explosive movements really geared for speed kept me very explosive while still gaining muscle and being explosive and fast is very important to me.

If maintaining my speed is also important to me then I imagine I probably would not want to try these but once or twice a week and probably keep my self on Tier 1 if also doing them
