FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Dr Scott

I know that the primary objective of FT is adding size. Are there any adaptations to make when the primary objective is to shed fat and lean out? My primary objective for the next 4 months will be to add mass (3-4 pounds of lean weight that I'll track by a monthly body fat test and weekly weigh ins). When its time to shift to losing body fat I have always had good results with a 5 day per week split featuring one bodypart per day. I also would use progressively cutting calories and adding cardio to push the weight lose. In your experience, should I stick with FT and just manipulate diet/cardio or are there other factors within FT that need to be changed given the addition of cardio and restricted calories? I haven't seen anything too specific on this topic in the forum/ebook so I figured I should ask the question directly.

Thank you again!

Hey Carl!

This one's answered in the book on page 131 (last of the FAQ). I also have a FAQ in there about cardio. (In brief, train as much as you can get away with, which may mean dropping down a Tier, and use diet, not cardio to shed body fat.)
