FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Hi Scott,
I'm 54 and been at this lifting stuff a long time. Several surgeries over the years (back twice, shoulder), but have always been able to bounce back. FT has been a godsend in self regulation and changing stimulus in an orderly way to avoid excessive joint pain. I'm into my 4th blast and the program is almost too good as my strength is rising on almost every lift. Problem is as my leg strength is going up, my knees are aching. I can handle moderate loads on various leg movements but heavier stuff leaves me aching. My thoughts were to raise my load reps to 20-25 and change MR's to 6x8. I have tried pre exhaust super sets of leg ext and leg curl but not sure of effect over the long haul. I want to keep progressing but at my stage of the game, I need to protect my knees. I would appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.

Thanks for posting this up here, man.

So now I've got people complaining that FT has made them too strong... Oh Jeez.... LOL

JUST KIDDING!!!!

What part of your knee hurts? Deep in the joint, some part(s) of the joint or around the joint, or under the patella?

Do you have a medical or self-diagnosis for this pain?...

What have you been doing to reduce the pain / treat it?...

Do you have prior knee injuries?

What makes it worse and what makes it better (other than rotating exercises / stimuli and not going to heavy)?...
