FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

I’m not following the family man plan mate. My normal days I train is Monday Tuesday ,( loading and pump). Thursday and Friday ( mr) as I can’t train on weekends.

Also Scott how would you say would be the best to split the sessions across 5 days .
Thanks for reply btw

OK, with such little time, this is an option for you - essentially the Family man plan distributed over 5 days.:

Mon Load Lower
Tues Pump Upper
Wed Pump Lower
Thur Load Upper
Friday: MR's full body (focus lower)

Depending on where you want to focus your training, you could flip the Lower / Upper order of the above and

Mon: Load Upper
Tue: Pump Lower
Wed: Pump Upper
Thur: Load Lower
Friday: Full body MR's with focus on Upper

(You could also start with Pump sets on Monday and alternate that way. Heck you could even Put your Two loading Set days up front on Mon / Tues and then Pump sets on Wed & Thurs, and then finish the week with MR's

Mon: Load Lower
Tues: Load Upper
Wed: Pump Lower
Thurs: Pump Upper
Friday: Full body MRs

You'll probably have to be sure that you use selectorized machines for your MR's and pump sets, simply for the sake of brevity (saves time vs. loading plates on to a bar / machine).

Again, I'd rather see a day off during the week there, but with so little time, you're in a bind for time... Remember though that training without enough recovery doesn't serve you, so if you need to do this differently , then I would, either by dropping down a Tier and/or setting up the split differently.

My guess it that if you're leaving so early that you'll not be missing out on a lot of quality time with the family, so it's not a huge loss in training 5 x/ week.
