Introduce Yourself: If you've never Posted, Post here please...

I've spent a good part of this weekend getting a decent handle on FT. I think I've got enough of the basics down that I can design a program to begin the week after this coming one. However, I've tried a couple of times now to download the "Free Overview Sheets and Logs"; I get a message saying that I will receive an e-mail with my download link, but it never happens. I have checked my e-mail address for accuracy. Anyone else had trouble with this?

Huh. You got the book OK, though? Not in your junk mail folder?

I'm going to PM you a direct link in just a second.

Hello everyone. I purchased the FT e-book a couple months ago. I've weight trained since 2009 and competitive bodybuilding since 2010. Currently at 235lbs at 5'10". Thought I was in good shape until FT. Having trouble finishing basic tier II leg emphasis day without hacking up my intra after thighs (squat 405 lbs x 12 rep x 2 sets). Tried turbo tier II leg emphasis after intensive cruise with no intra and I'm still hacking. I struggle to finish my training afterwards. Maybe I'm not doing it right... I don't like to eat 2-3 hours before training.

There isn't a thing wrong with that. That just tells me you're training your ass off. I've mentioned before that one of the most advanced guys to do FT (a beta tester) had to use Tier I. He had had been a pro wrestler and was no stranger to really hard training. I'd rather see someone tell me what you're saying that someone who is less advanced using lighter weight and doing Tier III.

If you're not making gains and are eating your ass off, then going down a tier (or alternating Tier II and I throughout a Blast) may be in order.
