I'm jealous .

If I ate that much, sure I'd be BIG, I'm guessing in the low 200lb range.
I don't even eat 1/2 that amount, prolly closer to 1/3rd.
I'd be strong. But I'd look like a snowball and my BF would be close to 20%.

And that would be the worst thing I could do at this point in my life.

It sucks getting old :banghead:.

But I say GO FOR IT MENTAL!!!!!!!! That's awesome and so are YOU!!!!!!!!!!

How long was your cruise? We are 6 days in...

I'm up a solid 15 lbs, still have defined glutes, vascular and tight abs and defined quads... I actually put on some shirts that were previously loose on my arms and now they are tight. My lats have some meat to them as well.

It took some time to find the right diet (macro wise) for me and never did I expect to be hovering around 5k calories a day , that's 4 700 - 800kcal meals, one 1000+ kcal meal (PWO), one or two 300kcal shakes, 300kcals intra w/o and a 700kcal meal at 2am

I poop a lot lol

MT, I'm trying to hit 180lbs by January... That's 4 months to gain 40 lbs.

I definitely won't be nearly as lean but if I want to be the size I want to be, it's gotta happen

My cruise was 2 weeks, the few days off at the end I was going nuts, and spilling over...but It was a good cruise.

You're eating 1.5k more calories than me...your metabolism is much faster than mine. I put on about 6lbs of quality mass in 8 weeks.... this is very good for me especially on 1/3 of the gear I've been running

I don't think I would leave the bathroom with 5k calories from healthy foods, lol but your doing great! keep it up.

I ate close to that to get to 230 and ugly, when i bounced at the rough clubs. getting older i knew i couldnt keep that up and stay healthy, 3200calories keep me around 200 12% But the BF is changing while the weight is staying around 200-205

Do it while your young. I used to get away with big jumps and could drop the BF much easier now. when your older you'll have to deal with smaller improvements to stay healthy...Us older guys are living vicariously thru you....dont let us down lol

Just did my first FT workout. It was deceiving more difficult than I thought it would be. The lower body loading sets were as expected. However, doing exercises in a superset format created a unique challenge.

It was the pump sets that surprised me. High reps with low reset periods really pushes your endurance. My gym was also too hot, but this all made for a great workout.

Looking forward to day 2 tomorrow.

Wait till your into the program a few weeks, the pumps are sick, and so is the progress

Im in week 1 of my second blast....its probably going to be even better than the first since im a slow learner and it took a bit of a learning curve.

I'm with you on that......a couple days and I'm going to be back at it.
A few minor details I need to stick to, upping the peri-workout calories, adding some set extenders to the pump sets........Looking forward to this next go!

I hear you on that, I started peri with 50gr carbs 20 EAA. Ended the blast witg 40gr EAA 100gr Karbolyn and 45g glycerin. Started out this blast with it and its going good.

Buy week 6 I worked up to drop sets of 5x20 with partials at the end fun times!


How did you blast treat you Dens?

I loved it. Had some knee problems but hopefully that's behind me.

Yesterday would have been an off day, but for 3 days I wont be able to make it to the gym, due to work . So I didn't want to have 4 days off just starting my blast. So I did Day 1 Week B yesterday. Three days in a row of FT is no joke!

Are you still using FT? Getting good results?

I´m starting today, looking forward to try something new.

 

[Mini Truck]

Hey Frito,

Thanks for resurrecting this thread!

I sure am still doing the FT.
It has really been a great experience.
I usually do 2 weeks of Turbo Tier 2, followed by 4-6 weeks of Turbo Tier 3,
followed by 2 weeks of Progressive Blasts (just MR work).

I may throw a week of Tier 2 in during the 4-6 weeks of Tier 3, depending on
how I feel.

I haven't yet felt the need for some "time off", I'm really never very sore,
and feel amped up for each session.

The only adjustment I do is that I train all body parts 4 x's week.
My arms seem to like it, so I'm pleased.

If you have any questions, shout out!
There are several Think Tankers doing FT who'd be glad to help.

Have fun!

Thank you for the quick reply

Just got back from the first session, Tier 1 is quick, but when I got home I realized I forgot the whole stretching part, so that might make the session a bit longer. Think I will do Tier 1 for the firs 2 weeks and then move up depending on how I feel.

In my experience with FT. The best tier to be on is the one that is challenging but the one workout is killing you, but 4 in a week will lay you out if calories arnt high if that makes sense. I've played around with different Tiers and now pretty much do the same thing MT is doing without the extra sets.

Hey guys. I'm thinking about giving this a shot.
I train before work so my time is limited except on the weekends.
How long do these workouts generally last?
Thx

 

[Mini Truck]

Hey Sand!

Give it a shot.
It is so very different and well planned, you will grow!

I do Days 1 and 2 on Sat and Sunday because they take a little longer,
especially for me to get through the warm up sets.
Depending on Tier level, 90 minutes tops, once you get used to it.

Day 3 (for me, Tues) and Day 4 (Thurs) are MR days which takes me
about 70 minutes.

Keep us posted Bro!
