My boyfriend has been lifting weights for years and is quite muscular, but since he started this program 8 weeks ago, he is exhausted most of the time; it seems extreme and that you have to get your body into shock so it keeps growing and once you achieve that muscle growth, it will be less demanding to maintain it.
I train using your 3 day T.H.T program and I am getting great results!

@Travis. The way to test it, buddy, is to do an extra set and see if 48 hrs you can get more reps or use more weight. If you can’t, then you’ve overtrained and 2 sets would work better. If you can, then 3 sets is not too much for you. By all means, test it out for yourself.

Would it hurt anything to try and do 3 sets? Thanks for your comments

@Zoa. Yes, even a 1 rep increase. Are you sticking to the 2 sets per body part? Doing extra volume will increase recovery time and this might be your problem.

@Dan. Wow, I hope you’re feeling good now, buddy. What I suggest you do is download my free THT plan and start with the 3 day workout. You’ll love the results. If you’ve any questions about the workout, I’ll be happy to help. By the way, if you need to lose fat in the process, consider looking into my total six pack abs plan.
Anyway, stay strong, my friend.

BUT; with THT full-body-workout 3 times a week, I am not able to progress my reps/weight from Monday to Wednesday. Are we suppose to?

I suffered a stroke in March of 2014 and had a heart attack in October 2014. Now I’m ready to get back into exercising. Since the Stroke in March of 2014 I have been diagnose with type 2 Diabetes and I have quit smoking. My Doctors want me to exercises but I’m scared too. Please Mark I really need your advise?

@Ayman. Sure, that wouldn’t be a problem. Since he’s not heavy, his protein requirement wouldn’t be very high. So probably 1 shake after training would be all he needs.

@zoa. I’m not sure what your question is exactly, but yes you can grow over the 5 days. And you train to failure on each and every set. If you haven’t downloaded and read the THT training manual, you should check that out ASAP.
Thanks.

I mean, can you grow from Monday to Wednesday? Every week ?

@Matt. Yes I’ve been doing back to back 3-day cycles. So if you’re continuing to get stronger, you can continue with the 3-day cycle.

You wrote an article a while back showing evidence that a 3 x per week full body workout was more effective than a 5 day split. I’m coming to the end of my tht 10 week full body 8 -12 rep workouts so should I still swap to 5 day split or move to full body 7 – 10 reps?

Not only did I change my routine all the time. I didn’t really even have a proper routine, and I wasn’t keeping a log of all my weights and reps. THT changed that back on 2013. Now I can leg and track everything and change every 10 weeks. It’s made a bigger difference than you could believe!
