FT Questions....

[Scott Stevenson]

Hi Guys,

I would know how much time does a FT training session takes for you?

I am currently in the "three day a week program" - third Tier and a workout takes me about 2 hours, with proper warm-up and stretching.

For example this week :

- Tuesday (upper load and lower pump ) : about 1 hour and 45 minutes
- Thursday (lower load and upper pump ) : 2 hours and I haven't been able to do the last superset (arms) because of the gym closure
- Saturday (muscle round) : 2hours and 10 minutes

Is this normal or am I too slow?

Thanks

That's not far off, depending as well on how strong you are, too, which will (for most) dictate how many warm-ups you need to do. If your'e going to 12 plates / side on a leg press, then you might need to warm up with 3, 6, 8, and 10 plates / side (and perhaps some knee extensions, etc.).

A time saver for you:

After finishing the training for a muscle (group), move quickly to the next exercise for the next muscle group, secure the machine and get your first warm-up set in. THEN do your stretch for the muscle group, either at that station (e.g., ham stretch with your leg on a calf press machine) or elsewhere, but leaving your stuff - belt, wraps, etc. on the machine you'll be using. This would look something like this:

Finish training Back with Back Width MR.
Move to chest machine and do 1st warm-up.
Stretch 1 Lat (if doing Unilateral lat stretch
Next chest warm-up
Stretch other Lat.
Last chest warm-up
Chest MR.
