FT Questions....

[dens228]

My guess is Scott came up with this method for a reason.
Doing it the way you described is still working out, but it's not Fortitude training.

Scott - Is it wrong to not zig zag exercises and to rest longer? For example today i did leg press, then leg extensions, then leg curls such as the following:

Day 1/4
Volume Tier 2
Basic FT

(In order)

Leg press 1 set x 12
~4 min rest ~
Leg press 1 set x 8 failure
~2 min rest~
Leg Extension 1 set x 12 failure
~2 min rest~
Leg Curl 1 set x 10 failure

Is performing loading days in this manner counterproductive because of our muscle rounds being so heavy? Doing the workout in this manner allowed me to do the same workout as per the manual but put up much higher numbers because I had more rest time and did not include a leg extension in between my presses. Doing this workout by the book makes me use less weight but gives me a much bigger pump.

For those wondering the workout I exampled would be done by the book like this:


Leg press 1 set not reaching failure
~2 min rest~
Leg extension failure
~2 min rest~
Leg press failure
~2 min rest~
Leg curl failure
