FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Scott,

I'll take a look, thanks. To be honest I feel my chest looks much fuller and surprisingly my legs look better even though I'm playing it cautious because of my hip flexors. Also feel my delts have came up slightly.

I have a very hard work ethic and coming off of JM program I can tell you I know how to push myself. I may have to ease up when I feel pain with my legs but besides that all bets are off for the rest of my body. I have done DC in the past as well and I know how to push myself to that limit and especially past it. Nevertheless, I will make sure that I remind myself of your post before each workout in order for it to really make sure I am giving it all I got.

Well, I'm glad you made some progress.

I wasn't calling your work ethic or in the gym intensity in question. (If anything, it was the opposite).

But if you get through 6 weeks at Tier I, make minimal gains and still feel like you don't really need a Cruise, then your'e probably under training.

De facto, something is not in place b/c you're not making gains.

I don't think I've seen anyone not make gains or not feel like they didn't need a cruise around the 6 week out mark, but most folks would have at least tried to move up a Tier (although it's not that the world is coming to an end that you didn't , as you were getting stronger.)

Main thing is that you didn't make body comp changes (maybe filled out a bit, which can happen with this program d/t glycogen storage). I was just guessing that if you weren't doing Hockey, you'd have upped it a Tier with FT and probably adjusted diet, and have made better gains (d/t better recovery w/o the hockey and the training stimulus being hypertrophy specialized - only wt. training).
