From High Volume to Fortitude

I gained 3 lbs of straight up muscle from this blast! I made plenty of progress over the years using higher volume however would no longer get such rapid growth out of it, the frequency of FT definitely shocked my muscles with a stimulus they had never been exposed to before and they responded. I have lagging arms as well and they have definitely seen growth, again even using Tier 1 basic volume. After an FT session the question you ask yourself shouldn’t be “did I do enough”, it should be “was every set that I did as intense as possible” regardless of volume tier. IMO, there’s no need to move up in tier unless you can answer that question with an emphatic yes and also feel like you can do more sets at that same level. So far, I don’t feel as if I can (do more sets), but as long as I produce maximum intensity I’m confident that I’m stimulating growth.
This is great to hear, and I can totally relate! I think the change will do me good honestly, and I really agree with the "was that workout intense enough" mentality.
