FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Yes you got the shift pattern correct bang on we work 4 on 4 off,

Monday day shift
Tuesday day shift
Wednesday night shift
Thursday night shift
Friday off
Saturday off
Sunday off
Monday off

Start all again Tuesday the next week and so on.

I can do Fortitude training every day of the week apart from Saturdays as I play Cricket.

And what about Saturdays when you're working?...

So i cannot train on a Saturday at all any week, every other day I am ok to train hope that makes sense.

I think it does and if you're really trying to make the most of FT, this will create a complexity, as it will cut into your recovery. (I'm presuming you're playing so hard that training is just not going to be possible.)

I go to my local spit and sawdust gym that has everything and at work we have a good selection of everything as well so I would be able to train at work and when I'm off with how you have organised Fortitude.
Our station is busy but there is always time to train and get a session in at work.
I no you suggested the family man plan 3 days a week but i would ideally like to do the Basic Tier 1 4 day a week just on week days tho.
Would this work or would you structure it differently.

Mon lower muscle round
Tue upper loading lower pump
Wednesday off
Thursday upper muscle round
Friday lower loading upper pump
Saturday off
Sunday off

Hope all this makes sense I'm so excited to start training again properly, as my youngest starts school tomorrow so I'm back to hitting everything Fortitude has for me I cant wait to get stuck in, I will just follow your advice as how you think best to structure the sessions into my week Cheers Alex.

You don't have a set weekly schedule (the week lasts 7 days, but you're on an 8 day rotation), so it would make sense to train using an 8 day rotation, so you can come back to loading sets using the same exercises (at the same gym) over time.

My advice is to create a FT inspired program based on your 8 day schedule:

I'd do Day 1 and 2 during your 4 days off work (Loading / Pump)

and Day 3 and 4 (MRs) when at work.
