Hi all, hope you are doing good and I'm stoked to be part of the forum. My insta is @cswann89 if anyone wants to follow!
I'm a 28 year old bodybuilder, competed numerous times. I'm 6 foot 2, stage weight was 230lbs a few weeks back. Got another show in a few weeks!
This year I've not been allowed to compete as a novice anymore so been doing shows with the big boys, and although I placed runner up last week the feedback I had was I need to be bigger. I think I'm going to run fortitude training for my next push for size after my shows are done however I have a question regarding frequency.
I purchased the virgin voyager program and love the look of it, think I will run the basic tier 1 program to start.... However I feel like only being in the gym 4 days a week is not enough frequency for me. 2 rest days in a row would kill me.
I've traditionally done a 3 on 1 off rotation (push pull legs rest repeat) so I don't have 'set days' per se for training. (I.e Monday could be push one week and the next Monday would be a rest day) I quite like this as I have the luxury of being able to train whenever I want 7 days a week.
Question: would it be feasible for me to run the FT program as follows:
Lower load upper pump// upper load lower pump//rest // upper Mr// lower Mr// rest // repeat
This would mean the frequency is slightly increased from the basic program but I'm still getting in the gym as often as I'd like. I really struggle with taking 2 rest days in a row!
I feel like I'd still grow off this. I'm quite a big dude and strong already so i feel like the slightly increased frequency could be handled.
Thanks for any response guys ❤️
