    Was suprised to see this on my feed this morning, as I originally posted it back in April, but it is definitely worth a bump.

    I agree with a lot of this, but what I disagree with is that anyone should be encouraged to believe there is an ideal body type. To suggest that 'long and lean' is ideal is to just add fuel to an already fast-burning neurotic flame; and to say that a woman who is happy that she weighs 125lb should not be happy unless what she sees in the mirror matches the current fashions in body composition is simply encouraging body dysmorphia. :noway:

    I understand that an unhappy consumer is a good consumer (if you were happy you wouldn't need to buy so much), but in amongst excellent information and advice I find this rather disappointing.

    Excellent - it's long but worth the read. I think the "ideal body type" section is minor and not really an issue - the idea to focus on is that one should be working on health and fitness not just weight loss.

    I'm not sure that I said any of the things you're purporting I said. My training philosophy when it comes to physique has always been to optimize muscle to fat ratios on top of a genetically fixed structure. I never have nor will I ever subscribe to some ideal image. But I do believe.... know actually... that regardless of how genetically blessed or cursed you are, there's room for improvement. And that improvement can only come from shifting the level of fat and muscle.

    For example, I would never write or explain that someone with a short and stocky bone structure can and should train for a long and lean physique. So again, I think there's some confusion about some of my points. I would, however, explain that the individual with the short/stocky bone structure can improve their appearance by shifting some of their tissues.

    I'll say this... I haven't read this information in a long time. I think it's been nearly 2 years since I wrote it. You've motivated me to go back and read it again (when I find the time) and possibly revise any of my points. Maybe I was a little foggy with some of them. I'm sure there's a lot of room for improvement.

    Exactly. And thanks for reading. It is very long... it was actually an ebook project I was working on that I fast tracked and simply threw up on the website. Definitely too long for an article, but when I scrapped the ebook project, I didn't want the info to go to waste.
