Why don't you do cardio?

Today's post is simply a quote that sums up my feelings. I would love to tell all of our professors this one. The rest of the post can be found here.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m just a biased strength coach who just wants women to lift weights and nothing else. You’re not that far off, actually. Listen, I understand that there’s more than one way to skin a cat, and that strength training is just a piece of the equation - albeit a VERY big piece. I just know what works. And I know that given a choice, people are going to end up doing what’s easy, and what they’re good at. For most, this entails lots of reps with low weight followed by who knows how many hours on the elliptical trainer.

Coincidentally, the above protocol generally leads to a smaller, weaker, softer version of your original self. Not always, just 99.99% of the time. Conversely, take someone out of their comfort zone - lift some heavy things, add in some metabolic training, beat the snot out of stuff, hit things - and good things start happening to the tune of more lean muscle, less body fat, and arms, shoulders, and an upper back that are going to look fantastic in that strapless wedding gown."

Look at how tall he's staying. Woo!

On a side note, when you Google Images search his name, the results are a bunch of pictures of hot chicks.

Lift weights, guys. TTFN. Tah tah for now.
