Help Upper lower FT split

[Scott Stevenson]

Hey Laurance!

Time well tell (if you're meticulous with tracking and and paying attention to signs of progress), but that's certainly an approach that could very well work for you.

Lumping the volume into few training sessions during the week as you have below is a training frequency that matches very closely to the DC training two way split, which is VERY successful. 

Over a Week, DC would look like:

M: Lower (& Biceps)
W: Upper
F: Lower (and Biceps)


What you're doing:
M: Lower (Loading and Pump)
W: Upper (Loading and Pump)
F: Lower Muscle Rounds
S: Upper Muscle Rounds

I intentionally set up FT so that these kinds of variations would be easy to implement, i.e., the structuring into Blocks of Set Types makes mixing and matching easy to do and still use the Volume Tiers as I've laid them out.

The other option that folks like, which you probably found when searching, for those who like to train (or be in the gym rather) more frequently is to stretch Day 1 and Day 2 out over 4 days by doing Loading (lower), Pump (upper), Pump (lower), Loading (upper) spread out over 4 days respectively.

I tried searching this topic and scrolling thru the forum but was unable to find anything.  I don’t know if it’s because I’m using a phone app….

I attempted Tier 1 blast as written but my legs are unable to recover between the first two loading / pump days.  Im not a fan of training sore and have a tendency to get very tired and lots of brain fog if I push it to hard and too often. I really like the way FT is laid out and want to use this training style so  I started doing the loading and pump for upper on day 1 and loading and pump for lower on day 2.  Is this the best approach or is there an other option?  I’ve read the book and the re read it because I’ll admit I am a slow learner and over thinker  haha

If it has been discussed and someone is kind enough to direct me to the post that would appreciated. 

Thanks
