Seanyboy, you know we are all different. Soooo many people in here have had absolutely great results with FT's 12 week muscle mass program (and I can only recommend it!).

This program is hard for your body. You'll mostly only do heavy compound exercises and you'll actually be happy of NOT working each muscle group more than one time a week.

I have a suggestion for you thou, why not take this 12 week program, put it on 4 days and then on the 5th day do an all body circuit training?!! You see, you'll work well with your muscles and you'll even be able to do a light second time.

Finally, tell your PT that he should stop saying that nonsense!

Dude! Give it a try...I've had great results with the 8 week mass program! Don't listen to your PT...they all have their own opinions. Try philia's advice about working a 5th day for circuit training. If not, you can just work with what you already have. Working each muscle group once a week is plenty, considering you'll be working with heavy, heavy weights!!!
