FT Questions....

Thanks for your input Pumped.


Sure.

Main thing for me to say is that you can of course do what you like I'm all for folks doing whatever makes them happy. I know many people who I suspect like to train more than they like to progress (various reasons for this) b/c they knowingly train more than the feel they should for optimal progress. They simply can't help themselves and the trade-off is worth it.


Volume is better conceptualized over the course of a series of workouts, not a single workout IMO, because that's how your body experiences them.

I mention that splitting the volume up with simply make for short workouts, e.g. if you only do Pump sets on a given day. For some, taking, let's say 15 min to get to the gym and 15min to get home (ir not longer) just for a 30 min workout, might not be worthwhile.



Why don't you move up a Volume Tier a/o switch to Turbo?


How we express ourselves can be quite telling.

You say that cardio does "seem" like it achieves anything, but then go on to say it does. This fits with what I'm seeing here where it seems like you're (maybe) more fixed on the feeling of being in the gym, feeling like you're doing something vs. training in a way that forwards you best as a bodybuilder.


I would move up to Tier III a/o switch to Turbo and see how you do.


You've got my answer above but if you want to train more often, simply going to John's programs will allow you to do that by adding in his optional workouts. (He's got a new phone app that seems pretty cool.)

Have you tried MD training?

Perhaps you tried it or another program that had you in the gym more often or training with higher volume and didn't progress as you'd like?... And maybe FT is working for you, but you would also like to be in the gym more as well?...

thanks Scott for the detailed responce.. you seem to touch some interesting points for me which i didnt put so much thought on them..
i came to FT after completing 3 3 month programs of john meadows and i have to say i prety liked the volume aprroach and kind of used to train almost every day betewen pump workouts and basic..
but right now i consider that the gains i have made wasnt came as pure muscle mass( something i regret )rather came as more leaness more density and maybe thicknes and roundness to my muscles ..but no extra mass..definetely a better look for my body but no extra mass ..
my best muscle gains came through dorian yates style workouts in the past..
i beleive in order to proggress in muscle i need a programm with a progressive overload..for this reason i jumbed to FT..
YOU SEEM TO LEAN TOWARD TO LESS DAYS IN THE GYM BUT IN GREATER INTENSITY IN THOSE DAYS -WORKOUTS WITH NOT SO MUCH VOLUME ..
i think i prescribed a bitt my situation and waiting for your advise and wisdom please as to what t do at last to acchive the goals i have set my mind to..
