Help Upper lower FT split

[Laurance gerard]

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’ve been running FT this way since this post and it’s been a huge success recovery wise. I want to take my training to 3 days a week (busy dad split) to allow some increased intensity or volume, while keeping the upper lower training. Would the following be the best approach?

M upper loading and pump

W lower loading and pump

F upper MR

M lower muscle rounds

I also considered doing turbo day 3 or 4 for the F session depending on how I feel. However I recently attempted to run the busy dad split as written and felt burnt out after 2 weeks.

Thanks!
