From High Volume to Fortitude

[urogenitalsubsection]

I'm with Pumped on this one. Never grew well on high volume and just started to dabble in high frequency , lower volume before FT came out. Switched over to FT and I saw much better results immediately in pretty much every aspect of my training.

I have weak arms as well and yes the "limited" volume for them can be a bit intimidating. But think of it in the opposite perspective. You have but a few sets to really get those bastards to grow. You are GOING to know exactly what is working is what is not working. Forget 12 sets for biceps and doing a million different lifts, and not really know what's making you progress and what's not. You'll know what's working, and from there and draw new conclusions and continue to hone and refine. That's one of the things that I love about FT. It has variety, but really cuts out ALL the bullshit sets and lifts and gets down to "what makes you grow". This sort of knowledge doesn't come right away, and I'm still coming across stuff that's working better for me now that when I started this program 3 years ago. Just last week I did the BEST bicep pump set I've ever done for FT. Did open palm machine preacher curls with 5's into the hole. Once I couldn't do any more partials open palmed, I then closed my grip and was able to pump out another 15 partials. It was a blistering set.

This is a great response, I can really connect with it. FT is so different than what everyone else preaches today, and I think that is what is psyching me out. But from what I've gathered, as long as you train your ass off and give every set 110%, you don't need to do super high volume... And for me, I tried to do both. I tried to really train intensely AND do a ton of volume, and it just crushed me. I'd be an hour into a workout and still have 4 exercises to do, and then I'd just end up half efforting them because the last 4 had completely wiped me.....


All of these responses are great, and as someone who hasn't really found that much progress from high volume, I am really hoping that FT will be the thing that really allows me to progress.
