Great info. I personally have been using a 5-3-2 strength program incorporating it with FST-7. On chest day for instance (Bench press) 5×5 3min rest between sets, then (Incline press) 3×8-10 60-90 rest between sets, followed by (Flys) 7×7 30sec rest between sets. One body part per day. I guess that would be a little fire and water. Would like some feedback.

I am definetly a either a fire trainer or a #4 type of trainer. I do 5×5 2-3 times a week with multi-joint exercises. like squat and bench press.

I found it very interesting and there are a lot of similar theories coming through!
I’ve been currently doing heavy (fire) type workouts followed by a couple of bodyweight or kettlebell burnout (water) exercises Mon,Tue, Thur and Fri with weekend maybe easy kettlebells or just mucking about-making sure of course i do the thing that makes the real difference………EAT WELL!!!!

I am a Fire-Type and will add some volume lower weight workouts when I feel I beat myself up enough on heavy weights, so I feel myself out first, then decide to go lighter.I don’t like going “light” with higher reps, so I have to convince myself that I need to give my body a break from the heavy weights after a couple of weeks. However, even on these kinds of workouts, I am going all out. I also do a 3-day a week workout that only hits each body part once a week, then take walks with my dogs and do some interval training with them as well between workouts for cardio.

Looks to me that your are overtraining. You’re hitting the same exercise several times in a row. You cannot sustain this kind of intensity week-in-week-out. You need to break these up into different body parts or full body workouts from upper to lower. Look at some of Elliott’s workouts to see some examples.

This is some very useful information. I have been incorporating some of this in my workouts. Usually when I went the gym before I would break a little sweat, but now with the supersets I walk out drenched. I had to drop the weight a bit but I am working on getting it back up. Thanks for the information.
