Thanks for such a in depth response. I started not to post the question due to it sounding like I was wanting to change your system before even finishing my first blast. But that really wasn't the case. You have a system that is very deep and soundly constructed. There is nothing my little feeble mind could come up with that could improve upon it. It's actually my love for the routine that got me thinking about how I could incorporate many of it's facets when taking a timed break from FT.
I know it might sound silly to plan on stopping something that is productive, but after 30 years of lifting I have found that switching off a (even a productive) routine keeps things interesting and makes me enjoy the routine even more when I come back to it. I'm into lifting for the joy of it, so if doing a time break makes me continue enjoying working out then I can't see much wrong with it.
I was thinking that it would be a lot to do all 3 methods for each muscle group if I were to attempt the 3 way split. But lets say I do a push day and did all 3 methods for chest, I would probably just do a MR for shoulders and maybe finish off with just a pump for triceps. Since the shoulders and triceps will have already gotten some benefits from the load, MR and pump for chest.
I do apologize if it seemed like I was in anyway implying that your routine isn't sufficient, was not my intention. I was just throwing some ideas out there. And I couldn't think of a better mind to bounce it off from than you.
I hope you had a great New Year. And I'm looking forward to many years of FT.
