Sounds good Ill take a video monday.
I switched to FT to try something different really, feel like I was stuck in the same mindset of continuously doing what helped me to get the beginner gains and never really switching it up other than exercises and trying to increase the weights.
I believe FT works through allowing for greater hard sets due to the low amount of total sets and keeping MPS up in the muscles throughout the week due to the 24hr post workout increase. Higher frequency training has also been shown to be more beneficial.
Guess the post did go through after all, not sure why I keep getting those error messages after posting.
So as far as getting a pump, failing to do so (I think), and then kind of jumping ship (this is what I getting happened based on your post), it sounds like you're basing your decision to continue or not on "getting a pump" in the gym.
I've not seen anyone really go for it with FT and not feeling each Set Type (excepting perhaps the Loading sets that are intentionally not taken to failure) being very taxing (relative to that person's perception). The point here is that the training is only as hard as you make it...
It sounds like one thing you're not taking into account is the importance of progressive overload. You'll see the results of this until months down the road and notice them on a workout by workout basis until you've come around to the beat the log book on Loading sets and MR's...
(You had a duplicate post that I erased. That error is a Tapatalk thing that I have to fix periodically it seems, but your posts go through, even though it seems they're not.)
