    It's kind of funny the way the article was received in this thread. On the Jessica Biel thread, it was called "BS" and other stuff..
    I find it interesting (and disappointing, as I stated on the other ^^ thread... I always thought Mila Kunis was hot.. but she doesn't have a bum.. what's up with that?! LOL)

    I'm not overly overweight. I am very muscular naturally (from my birth father) so it says to just keep dieting. So, I will!

    That was a very interesting article that was pretty informative. That flow chart needs some work though. Or maybe I just haven't had enough coffee yet.

    6. Faster pace – you want dense sessions that are metabolically demanding. There’s no need to rest longer than 90 seconds, as you can employ paired supersets that combine non-competing lower body and upper body movements. A 60 second rest period is the usual here.

    I don't know if it's because I haven't had my full cup of coffee yet, but can someone elaborate on this bit? Specifically the "you can employ paired supersets that combine non-competing lower body and upper body movements"?

    Interesting, but I don't feel that I've come away with any solid advice from the article.

    Seriously? I thought it was an excellent article packed full of good advice. :drinker:

    Agreed

    Agreed, this is a really good read. I think it's important to note that he recommends that everyone start out the same and then, when they get down to a look they're beginning to not prefer, change it up . . . but still keep lifting.

    It's like following a set of squats with a set of OHP instead of squat set, squat set, squat set....

    That is one of the best, if not THE best fitness article I've ever read.

    Thank you for posting this article. I'm not quite there, yet, but it's nice to have a new perspective for a slight concern that's waaay down the road.

    You don't have to sit on the bench staring at the clock for 90 seconds between sets of an exercise if you do a super set. You can do 10 push ups, wait 60 seconds, and then do 10 seated rows. Your muscles are actually getting more rest, but you're moving faster and burning more calories.
