fortitude flexibility

[Scott Stevenson]

hey scott,

great advice thanks alot, where me and my training partner are both ex powerlifters we like the heavy basics but obviously these take more plates. my gym also isnt the best with machine placement for example the squat rack and isolation leg machines are at the other side of the gym! but in the spirit of FT you adapt and grow so now we lunge more and my legs are blowing!!

I find it strange how some gyms are set up. THere's one here in town that I just re-joined b/c its like 8min away. Long story, but they ended up getting rid of some machines and adding a few others, which included dismantling a few in the move. (I can tell this b/c a few of the weight stacks no longer have the plates numbered sequentially... LOL)

The machines are almost entirely randomly "arranged" in one room, which is kind of funny (and a bit sad actually...) LOL

in all honesty after i made the post yesterday i trained and me and my partner got through the workout so quick i had to check to see we hadn't missed anything but i guess this is week 6 so we know where we are with loadages and rest times. how long do your sessions last?

Good - glad it went faster.

I'm closer to 2hr, but I'm using Tier III for the most part (and training alone, so all that plate moving around slows me a bit, too). I could probably knock it down 15-20 min (and have), but lately I'm shooting a little video and purposefully trying to experiment with new exercises, ways to do them, etc. (Sometimes I don't actually come up with anything, but I'll intentionally spend an extra minute or so letting the creative juices flow during the course of the workout. The gym is kind of my lab. )
