Hey Scott,
Figured this would be a better place for these questions than my log.
1. Two blasts in and things are for the most part going GREAT. Did both basic and turbo, seemed to grow better on turbo. All body parts seem to be responding very well to the program and are growing better than ever. There is one problem. Arms. Between two blasts they've gotten stronger, but growth has been about 3/16". (more in turbo, than basic) I understand, that ANY grow is good, even more so with stubborn body parts. But I am thinking about running arms at a higher volume tier that the rest of my body, hoping it can spur a little more growth. I know we also talked about this earlier, but was also thinking about adding triceps to Day #3, at least a pump set, to add additional stimulation. I understand that there is only one way to say if this works or not. (Just do it and try)
I am getting stronger on all my arm specific lifts. I feel like I am connecting with them better than ever with my pump sets, and am trying to take my intensity during my pump sets as far as I can while still staying in the design of the program. I am also finding and connecting very well with the extreme stretches. I'm not experiencing any elbow, or forearm tendentious, or joint discomfort at all in any of my two blasts so far. My body seems to be responding well increased frequency.
Just curious if you have encountered this with anyone else struggling to bring arms up and if this, or other modifications you have made to FT to help push them forward. Have also thought about dropping FT for a month and doing an arm specialization program to try and play catch up. (Thought I'm not a fan of this, as everything else is growing so well on FT, and agree that growing as a whole is the best option)
2. My chest has just died at the end of both blasts. Last 2 weeks or so progress on loading lifts seem to stall a bit, muscle rounds gains seem to continue but slow a bit. Then final day they regress. By the end of the intensive cruise they are good to go and keep moving forward again. Should I try and run chest at a lower volume tier? or this is just as intended from the program and I'm over reaching as designed? No other body part is doing this. Chest is still growing so its not a major issue.
Honestly, I'm just trying to tweak minor things. I'm pretty comfortable with the system now and if I ran it, as is, I'd be doing good, but as always we want to reach and tweak and optimize (and hopefully learn too!!)
