Few questions before i start :)

Johnny,

First thought is that you are overanalyzing here a bit. This is common with bodybuilders (myself included) and can get in the way... for years and years, actually. Bodybuilding can be great to scratch that itch when it comes to being detail oriented, but if you scratch too much...

The best way to answer these questions is sometimes simply to do it, rather than thinking about what to do.


I would advise you start with Tier I, Basic as written out - 4 days per week, for at least a couple weeks (for the reason I mention above). Chances are, FT is a bit different than anything you've done before, so this will give you a nice introduction to the frequency component. After a few weeks of that, you can adjust.



Yes, you have pointed that out in private message.

I intentionally made the call to not to mention this explicitly in the book to avoid confusion. Thus far is worked so far, which I presume is because one can see the pattern that in place across the three Volume Tiers on day 3 and 4 (or that people have been super setting the pump sets, which is fine, too).

You can do those Pump sets in any way you like, but if you don't superset them on Day 3, then you have a better shot of getting the machine you want, i.e., you won't have issues with holding down two machines.


Sure!

Firstly, I'd read this: Integrative Bodybuilding: When It Comes to Diet, One Size Fits One / Elite FTS

Secondly, if you are not gaining weight with a given caloric intake, that would be previously caused weight gain then I would 1.) Look to expenditure (is your training program different <hint> <hint>?) and 2.) Consider eating more <hint> <hint>.

Thanks scott for the reply. I am starting the programme Monday and really looking forward to it , I have been previously using the Y3T training programme if you have herd of it , So hoping the change in training frequency will give me some good gains again especially of the tail end of a calorie deflect of 6 months.

As I said about the weight loss , my expedature hasn't changed or has my taining infact I took a 2 week break at the end to go on holiday and increased my calories from 1,800 to 3,500 min each day and have only gained around 4lb weight in 2 weeks. I was expecting a lot more if I was honest but maybe my body is processing food better now it is leaner. As you say who knows trial and error I guess.
