FT Questions....

[thethinker48]

THANK YOU so much for that, man! Glad to help - it's just part of my mission, but it's great to hear kind feedback like this.

(There was someone who posted here and sent me some nasty emails who basically told me to "F" off - actually he did say that - b/c he wanted to be told what to do. I refunded his book purchase, of course. )


John configures each of his programs differently, so I'm not sure how that one would lend itself to adjusting downward.

A few thoughts:

I would personally try to ride it out until you're quite certain you need to adjust downward. I think he uses a subjective scale to tell you how hard to push on many of those sets, so you may need to really ponder that and perhaps put in you mind the idea that there is not a kind of "work set" that is somewhere intermediate to a purely preparatory warm-up and how you'd carry out sets in FT (to failure or stopping with 1-2 reps in reserve). Think of those another kind of flexlble Set Type that's MD training specific. :

Does he say in this program that you can drop one of the extra days?... (That's a common feature of his programs.) If so, that would be the way to go (as needed), as his programs are well thought out. I'd not drop the extra day that's the focus of the training block, though, as it sounds like that's the key feature of this program?....

Also, he's got a FB group where you can post Q's. I'm an admin there (I think) so I can get you in to get some feedback if you like.

Thank you!

I think I'll take your advice and I'll ride it out for a bit before making any adjustments. It almost becomes second nature to tweak things now due to FT.

I did substitute a back exercise that utilized more biceps than the one John had in there, and a response my biceps took more of a beating from that one session (they usually respond to volume by flattening out)... everything's carefully put in there

Having fast access to people like you or John nowadays can almost be a double edged sword [emoji846]

Thanks again
