Mike Ross Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 So I am glad to see an array of options within the GB platform now with many options A couple things...I am someone who doesn't like things to feel randomized and likes things programmed specifically with end points and entrance points. my goals 1) Trying to maximize strength and put on some muscle 2) My mobility needs a ton of work For Programming going forward: Is doing the F1 exercises twice a week enough/too much with some added in stretch and weighted mobility? I always throw in 2 cardio days for heart and respiratory health reasons Bonus question: My legs have become much skinnier and I feel need some more attention than they are getting in F1...is there any accessory work I can add into my F1 training to help my legs get stronger (and bigger...chicken leg syndrome lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 HI MIke, the situation is complex, in the sense that building muscles require also a decent nutrition approach, without that you cannot maximize muscle gain. Another point is that without good motor schema you cannot properly engage muscles and stress them in order to obtain hypertrophy adaptations. strength training (like GST) promotes a motor schema refinement and it is an essential basic capacity for future muscle hypertrophy. So as Coach Sommer says "first things, first". foundations first. then you can think about the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ross Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks I guess my main question that remains is how many times a week should I Be doing the F1 exercises? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Bittner Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 @Mike Ross We typically recommend starting out by doing each Foundation workout one time per week. Once your body has gotten used to the exercises, you are welcome to add in another day if needed. Keep in mind that everyone's body is different. While some people benefit from more frequency on their Foundation workouts, other's might find they need more rest between sessions. You will have to find what works best for your body and your individual needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Stanwyck Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 When I started adding a second time each week, I began by doing 1/2 the assigned reps. Trying to do a full set a second time left me not recovered at the start of the next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
