Cheers Scott,
Your responses are fantastic no wonder so many people have so many great things to say about you personally and fortitude training.

As far as blast(s) this is my first one and having come from a high volume training program just thought what I had set up was what would work for me, but after reading more and more posts and your advice as well I'm looking for quick gains instead of following the process and progressing properly.

With my shifts at work we work 2 days on 8.00a.m till 7.00p.m then 2 nights on 7.00p.m till 8.00a.m next morning then 4 days off.

Personally I want to start from the beginning and do Tier 1 basic and work through the Tiers and follow the fortitude training plan that works best to pack on as much muscle as possible and if training once a day is the best you have found in terms of recovery I will go with that I will follow what you suggest on recovery and gains etc.
My problem is I can train every day of the week apart from Saturday which is a no go unfortunately.
I no you suggest doing the family man would you set that up as below

Mon upper loading lower pump
Tue off
Wed lower loading upper pump
Thursday off
Friday Muscle Round
Saturday off
Sunday off
Or would you do it differently ie swap the muscle round to Wednesday etc.

I would prefer to do the Full program of training 4 days tho,again starting at Basic Tier 1 like you suggest but I can't get my head round how I would structure the week with not being able to train at all on the Saturday how could I structure the program to fit , I'm sure I read in another post I dont no if it was you your advice tho that someone could train as below and would that work.

Mon upper loading
Tuesday lower pump
Wed Lower loading
Thursday upper pump
Friday Lower MS
Saturday off
Sunday Upper MS

Then start again on Monday but with lower loading and work through the week again would this work as good or would it not be great as in recovery etc


I really appreciated your time thanks Almo.

No problem!

I still don't understand you Schedule, though, TBH

With my shifts at work we work 2 days on 8.00a.m till 7.00p.m then 2 nights on 7.00p.m till 8.00a.m next morning then 4 days off.

Let's say you work Mondays, would that then goL

Mon: 8AM - 7PM
Tue: 8AM - 7PM
Wed-THurs - 7PM -> 8AM
Thur-Friday 7PM --> 8AM

Then Sat you're busy (work or something else)?...

Not sure where the 4 days fit or how the days and night shifts are sequenced.

It sounds like your shifts rotate on something other than a 7 day period (4 work days... and then 4 days off?...)

Before I can help, I'd need to know your schedule.

You've not even mentioned gym equipment at the station vs. elsewhere.
