The A-B split works great.<BR/><BR/>Currently, I'm taking part in the Precision Nutrition Informal Training Research project that John Berardi put together with Alwyn Cosgrove.<BR/><BR/>It's an 8-week plan that consists of two full-body strength workouts and two interval-based workouts for a total of four workouts each week.<BR/><BR/>I'm in Study Group 2. There are a total of three groups. All groups are following the same strength training program, but we are all performing different cardio/energy systems training. <BR/><BR/>One group is using the TRX Suspension Training workouts. I'm not sure about the other group, but I think it's similar to mine but possibly different parameters for the intervals.<BR/><BR/>Once the 8 weeks is over, they will compile all our information (it was also based on age, weight and training experience) and then give us the results.<BR/><BR/>The idea behind the study is to find the best method for fat loss and conditioning while only training a total of four days per week and no other physical activity.<BR/><BR/>Once it's completed, members of Precision Nutrition will be able to follow the same workout plan.<BR/><BR/>NateNathan Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036030416925510024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169766838902564833.post-29032603102471097252009-02-13T19:11:00.000-05:002009-02-13T19:11:00.000-05:00Hey Nate,Great advice. I have been training for 20...Hey Nate,<BR/>Great advice. I have been training for 20 years, and I just started using an A,B split last year after reading a lot of stuff by Craig Ballantyne. It seems so simple, but that is the brilliance of it. People want to over complicate things, when simple is sometimes the best thing. I hope that some of your readers give it a go. They will not be dissapointed. On a another note, what is your training looking like these days?<BR/>Keep up the good work,<BR/>DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
