I have seen Scott and other experienced guys mentioning people should start on tier 1 basic and work up if they can handle it. I come from a high volume program but have too much wool on my back to be a hero and will be starting tier 1 after my deload. In relation to loading phase on tier -1 the book says last compound to failure and iso if safe to do so. I gather I can go H.A.M on all three excercises as I only have one set ? I'm not sure how i would get sufficient stimulus otherwise. Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.
Does anybody have any other tips for people new to FT ? I appreciate this has a steep learning curve but like we everyone on here I want to get it right and maximize my returns as soon as possible.
Thanks

Hey man, good call on starting with Tier 1. I'm three weeks into my first blast, coming from a relatively high volume background myself, and am still blasting away on Tier 1 without any plans/need to bump it up. With regards to your question, which three exercises are you referring to? On lower body load, there's one work set a piece for thigh, quad, ham. That's one set of compound (thigh), and quads and hams are iso exercises, so yea, balls out on your work set of each exercise here. On the upper body loading day, you have 4 compound movements (back thickness, back width, chest, delt), so go H.A.M on your work set of each. My advice for starting out is to do everything by the book and as Scott has intended for a while before trying to modify anything.
