Fortitude training

[fireguy10720]

Not sure if this is the right spot to ask, so if not forgive me.

But I'm thinking of buying the fortitude book and trying something new out. All the reviews and things I've read have been great.
Question is I had read that it can be tailored to a 3 day split.
Looking for info from anyone who has tried the 3 day.
Or even those that have the book, your thoughts on how you think it would work.
I've tried a lot of things, and I still can't get my damn weak parts (arms, legs) to grow.
This may be worth a shot.
For me, odd work schedule and wife and kids, a 3 day split is optimal for me.

Thanks for any input !

The E-book has a 3-day family man plan. Well worth the money.

I have the ebook, and did the 4 day split for a couple blasts. Though I have no experience with the 3 day split, IMO, Scott created a brilliant program that is getting great results for many people, so I would think that the 3 day split would also be effective.

It's from Scott Stevenson, it will work....

Right on.
Thank you to all who replied.
I'll be buying it this week.

Curious if anyone out there has tried the 3 day split and your thoughts.

There are a few guys who are doing that to my knowledge (The Family Man Plan).

The person for whom I wrote that up did quite well. "National level" guy (lives outside the U.S.) who was in his mid- / Late 40's. (He set some PRs on some lifts during that time - stronger than ever in his entire life... I was even a bit incredulous...)

Bought this a few months ago and skimmed through it. Really looking forward to giving it a shot in the offseason.

Bought it last night.
Skimmed through it.
Holy cow there is a ton of info. My plan is to start this in the next 4 weeks after a cruise. Thank you for what looks like a great product can't wait to dive into it.
one quick question. Are the templates in the back printable.? Thanks

I've done 2 solid blasts now(each blast is ~6 weeks) and have put about 10 quality pounds on thus far. I'm very sold on the book & the system. Very thorough

Scott has printable templates on his website, so grab them there. And you are going to love it. It's hard gut busting work at the gym but it's fun, interesting, and produces results.

While I haven't put as much weight on as PF, I tend to put on about as much fat as I do muscle when I go to the gym. But so far training on FT it's been mostly all lean gains. I'm sweating bullets most nights after my post work out meal and there have been a few times I've had to roll my window down on the drive back from then gym (average temp right now here in NY is about 15 degrees) because I was so damn hot. Gets your metabolism fired up

You're welcome!

As Altamir mentioned, the Free Overview Sheets can be downloaded where you picked up the book.

RIGHT ON!!! (Man, that makes me very happy.).

Yes, this is pretty much a universal finding.

What if I train at a very Powerlifting type gym with zero machines? Can it work with such a barebones setup?
