THIS IS THE FORTE of Fortitude Training - It allows you to customize the training to focus on weaknesses in your physique.
First and foremost, I suggest folks work within the program. You can do this with:
* Exercise Selection and Order
---Adjust exercise order to pre-fatigue the weak muscle groups: DO ISOLATION EXERCISES FIRST for Loading, Pump AND Muscle Round Set Types.
---Find the EXERCISES THAT WORK FOR YOU, where you can tell your annihilating the muscle.
---Finding exercises that may overlap in a way that increases volume for the muscles you want to bring up. (E.g., use a high Incline press for chest to get more anterior delt involved, if those are week. Focus on high rowing exercises to get the posterior delts involved with back training.)
---Train weak muscle groups early in the workout if this means you'll be have greater loading for the given muscle. It’s OK to put Chest before Back on Day 2 and 4.
* Pump sets
—Making the Pump Sets really work for you with things like 5's into the Hole, etc. Go to town on these and make them ridiculously difficult (but still continuous in nature, per the description in the book).
* Stretches
—Really focus on the stretches, going for Extreme or Occlusion stretches on weak muscle groups, holding them for 90 seconds. (Just be SAFE on Extreme stretches of course.)
