FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Altamir and Sermolupi
thank you guys for bringing the big picture to Scott

Scott - as usual brilliant answer

1. I had my own suspicions and you prove me right
but I was curious that maybe there were also some scientific data to contradict (seems you had this idea as well - I had some concern that there might be some interference effect that could occur here) mixing things together - looks we are still in research territory with this

There was a training system called "Holistic Training" that included "pyramids" so to speak of sets ranging from about 5-8 to I think 15-20 reps (With an intermediate set in between). This is something that an old training partner of Lyle McDonald's used many moons ago.

I am crossing fingers for Altamir and his experiment since for me it will take some extra dedication and mind power

2. I am glad you are not excluding RP - DC style because at the end of some workouts - especially with biceps and triceps - I am using them (done for more then a year DC classic split before finding out and falling in love with FT - and also like you mentioned mixing rep ranges )

seems there there is a lot of ones experimentation within FT

thank you all !

I'm definitely for what works, and of course, the CNS taxation with arm training to failure isn't nearly as severe as when training larger muscle groups, so there's lesser worry there.
