Under "Warm Up BEFORE and Stretch AFTER", the You Tube link now goes to a (possibly fake) health insurance ad with a lisping kid. Was that where you wanted it pointed? Tiny thing, Steve.

I was hoping you could explain some of your comments: what do you mean when
you say “squats and deadlifts without a belt can increase waist size”? Do
you mean put on weight/get fatter? That doesn't make much sense to me, so
I'm assuming you mean something else, just confused.

I have nothing against high rep ab work other than the fact that it's not
necessary – why do 2000 of something if you can do it in 20? It's just
highly inefficient. I've seen too much research and studies about how bad
actual sit ups are for the discs in your back…why risk it when you can get
results without them?

As far as people doing 2000 every morning and not having problems, there are
exceptions to every rule. Michael phelps drinks a 6 pack of red bull and
eats pizzas and subs all day long…does this work for 99% of the
population? I hope not.

I think short workouts certainly can get the best results – if long grueling
workouts work for you, by all means continue to do them. I work out 3 days
a week for an hour, I have 5% body fat and look like I work out far more
than that = good diet and high intensity. Check out the body composition of
most Crossfit workout people – they work out for 20-30 minutes each day and
no more…and look like they could be in 300.
