FT Questions....

[Altamir]

What I'm interested in finding out is do any of the other members out there regulate their workouts like this to keep pace with their life outside the gym or do you guys stick to 3 to 6 week blasts come what may before tapering off???

Oh and before I forget Hi to all my fellow FT'ers out there - greetings from sunny India!! Dr S it's official now - FT is a global phenomenon from the US to Asia!!

Hi!! So in response to your first question. I usually just blast from 4 to 6 weeks and then cruise. That is not to say that I don't make adjustments week to week (or training session to training session). My job is not quite as stressful as yours, so I have not had to take such measures. But I have in the past taken my training down a tier mid blast, or selected easier lifts for MRs or pump sets if I have been feeling running down.

For example at the end of my last blast my hips were just killing me. So ungodly tight and sore. So I ended to doing quad and hamstring MRs first, and then thighs. And I modified the thigh MRs so that it was less stress on my hips.

What plays I think the biggest part for me is the cruises. I feel like a new man after one, and I still make progress lowering the volume all the way down to tier 1. I would have to run the program VERY differently if I either ignored them, or they weren't part of it.

Hope this helps!
