It is possible that I misread that. Apologies if so.

Yea, we moved away from that designation (w/ belt) because it wasn't as clear as we wanted it to be. You CAN use a belt for any exercise you want. If...

Whoops,

Glad to hear the knee is feeling better. You can do phase III of the Beginner Template if you like. It is more strength focused,...

JaiA,

They're listed in order of preference based on the intent of the training slot and our experience. That said, I wouldn't bet that squats...

SB,

Thanks for the post and thanks for the background in Swiss wrestling. I wasn't familiar with it until now. Looks like a cool sport!...

I have relatively few concerns about regular intake of unprocessed red meat in those that are otherwise eating a health promoting dietary pattern. That...

Energy levels, performance, libido, sense of well being, etc. do not reliably change...

Yea, that may or may not be true in practice, but we're thinking along the same lines here....

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

I don't think the mode matters as much as the dose. I would prefer a mix of cycling and running in your case....
