Scott,
Not doing FT now but seriously looking into it in the future. Currently I am having great success with the practice of over warming up. So let's say for squat I'm looking to get maybe 12 reps of 365. I'll warm up to 405 for a single and then after a short rest, drop back down to 365 and bang out the reps. Every single time the weight feels light and fresh and I almost always get more reps in this way than traditional pyramid warm up structure.
I hate to be "that guy" and start bastardizing your program and adding things to it that you did not write, but could this warm up structure be adding to loading sets for the more complex barbell movements? (Squat, bench, etc, I also do them for chins, but not rows or deads). Thanks for your time, knowledge, and the great book.
