FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Hi folks,

Little questions before going back to FT tomorrow

I'd like to add some athletic movements, power clean and/or snatch.
What would be ur recommandation ? I was thinking incorporating one of them as a MR for back width but dunno how/when add the 2nd...

Cleans and snatches don't lend themselves to being performed when fatigued: There is a high injury risk d/t form breakdown. Trying to take either movement to something that evokes muscular failure in the way we're trying to do during a MR (to produce a hypertrophic stimulus) is asking for an injury, IMO.

Final questions,
Was wondering about the diet, currently bulking, 5.5' 154lbs, 3000 kcal ( carbs ~350; fat ~80g, prot ~190g),

I've been reading Norton and applying his recommandations since few months, seems working :
meal every 4h-6h (7pm, 12pm, 4am, 8pm) with bcaa and carbs between meals (5g P + 10g G)
Only 5g BCAA before and 10g after workout.

But after rereading Scott's stuff around the forum, eliteFS, and the bible (FT book) was wondering to remove the periworkout bcaa and add some IW instead because with 4 meals it's difficult for me to go further 3000kcal, and it seems that the IW is the new PW

I was thinking of this :
15 min before workout start sipping this till the end :

50g Waxy Maize (plan to buy some HBCD or maltodextrin but I have to finish the WM stock)
15g Peptopro
10g BCAA
5g Glutamin
5g Creatin
2g Glycerol

Who is Norton?... (Layne?...)

I don't see the question in the above.

Lasssst question, when I'll have to start dieting, I was thinking to cut carbs on non training days (as mentionned in the bible), so i'll drop 350g carbs + IW, still remaining less than 1800kcal.
When I'll reach a plateau and stop dropping bf, It may be wise to cut carbs far from training, so I was thinking on breakfast and then lunch ? would you agree ?

Cheers

Page 131 of the book answers your question, I think.
