FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Okay that's exactly what I was trying to figure out, just honestly wanted to hear the methodology behind the loading sets again when it comes to the loading goal and the CNS. I will go back to doing it strictly as prescribed. Was more of an experimental day for myself.

I truly appreciate you taking your time to answer questions like this, sorry if mine was redundant. I just couldn't find this explanation in the book despite my best efforts of ~an hour and a half of review haha. I'm sure it's in there, i'm just a dunce sometimes. Thanks again!
Loving the program, broke 230 lbs bw today!!!

230 - AWESOME!!! VERY Glad to hear that. (Is this is your highest BW ever?...)

No worries - it was a good question. (And you're welcome. )

I gained a heightened awareness of how rest interval (if you pick the right one) can help with limiting CNS drain from doing Titan training. I don't recall, but I think I'm pretty close on the rest intervals he set out in there. I played around with doing it differently (longer as you have mostly, but also a time or two with shorter rest intervals) and these seemed to be a good fit (and I figured they would be a good starting point for most folks.)

The one thing that folks don't realize if coming from a program like DC or another where the focus is on eliminating fatigue before a few # of go to sets, is that you will get used to training more quickly and the loads will go up. I'm sure you were (as I was) acutely aware of how gassed you were getting (esp. with legs and back) when you first started training this way, and that you could handle more weight had you rested more.

You'll develop a good tolerance if you stick with it. IT'll still be hard as all hell, but you might be surprised at what you can do.
