FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Thanks for the reply DR SS, your a superstar!

Coming from high volume, tier 1 on paper seemed like a walk in the park, but i admit after starting on tier 2 that i was wrong!

I ended up doing day 4 workout minus the back workout. I will do the back exercises today. Doms in biceps doesnt feel so extreme like yesterday.

I want to pick your brain about protein but I will find the appropriate forum for it!

LOL - That's man. Glad to help. Sounds like I could have just waited a day or so to respond.

This is the forum to respond, but it sounds like your question might require a new thread(?).

I personally prefer to train the least to get the most if that makes sense. Back when I used to moderate on a lot of boards like ironaddicts, I saw A LOT of people that wanted to do more volume, training sessions and so on with high intensity programs like DC (and I'm sure FT if this program came out years ago lol) but the truth of the matter is not so much what you can personally put your body through 5-6 times a week but what you can recover from (and I'm not talking workout to workout either - I'm talking long term through the riggors of a six week blast). If your biceps are sore enough to where you had to drop all the back work the following day, there's your guide b/c you are right, on paper it looks minimal esp if coming from a split/high volume, but your not holding yourself back to fit volume in, you're going all out every set which is a brand new stimulus, and anything new typically equals DOMS.

Just relating my mindset which I think would help (as long as Scott doesn't mind my saying so).

I totally welcome and appreciate your input, DH.
