FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Hey Scott,

More of a curious "nuts and bolts" question for the FT program, not an actual "help me out" question. I'm REALLY digging Turbo, far more than basic. I'm seeing great results from the very little extra work my biceps get on days #4 (plus the extra back sets). Can you share the reason why triceps weren't included on day #3 (for a total of hitting them directly twice a week), while biceps were added on day #4 (for a total of hitting them directly three times a week)?

Also dug your article on EliteFTS today. Looking forward to the rest of the series!

Hey Bud,

That's really your call. Day #4 was Triceps and/or Biceps, which was about adding the option to have Biceps in there a 4th time. IMO, most folks would be just fine with just doing triceps on Day #4, but b/c biceps can be a favorite I put that in there as an option.

The other main reason is overtraining triceps / getting triceps tendinitis can interfere with both chest and delta and seems to (just my general impression) more of an issue over for BB'er. You'll see lots of guys can still train the biceps (Arnold S, Charles P. are two guys who keep them up as "show muscles" it seems), but if you overdo triceps, this can bring training to a screeching halt.

Glad you liked the article! (Glad it's finally out!)
