FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Hey Scott.

Yes it's me again.

On the muscle rounds....I find if I don't fail till the 6th set the first few sets are quite light....

Would it be better to say fail at the 4th set then drop the weight for the remaining 2 sets?

Just slightly confused as I know you should hit failure once during MR.

Hope that makes sense.

Just up the weight so that you fail in the 4th to 6th.

This is another form of variation that I wanted to have, at least as an option, in the system to permit progressive overload iwht the MR's for those who really favor and do well with progressive overload.

With a particular exercise (let's say it's one you Really like for MR's) you could start a sequence of workouts with a weight that barely lets you get past the 3rd set without failing.

You'll likely find it takes several workouts to move from getting just 3 sets (failing in the 4th) to getting strong enough to get 4 reps in the 6th set.

------------

So, if you prefer to go heavier, just do so, but I'd still suggest keeping with the MR set up where you get at least the 1st three sets of 4. (What can happen if you go too heavy is that if you drop the weight such that you could get the rest of the sets of, then the set after the failure set is too light. If someone fails in the 2nd set and picks a weight they could get 3 more sets of 4 with, the 3 and 4th set will be pretty easy, and it's a bit too complicated IMO, to turn the MR's into triple drop sets.

The diet aspect of the ebook is amazing!

I feel the programme is so cheap for what you offer as the amount of info you have provided is probably more than you would learn off an online coach in several months.

If you do a voice over explaining it that would be very useful

I was working on that but am caught up not just keeping basics together while I prepare a course I'll be teaching next month.

(Hopefully, I'll be able to get some FT seminars together middle of next year.)
