>1. No one here does HIIT. HIIT is only for athletes looking to up their game. You fatasses do not do 20 mins of HIIT a day. It is no good for burning fat. From wiki: A HIIT session involves a warmup period, several short, maximum-intensity efforts separated by moderate recovery intervals, and a cooldown period. The period of alternating effort and recovery intervals typically lasts a total of 15 minutes.
Studies by Tabata[1], Tremblay[2] and others have shown this method to be more effective at burning fat and maintaining, or building, muscle mass than high-volume, lower intensity aerobic work-outs. A study by Gibala et al[3] demonstrated 2.5 hours of sprint interval training produced similar biochemical muscle changes to 10.5 hours of endurance training and similar endurance performance benefits. According to a study by King [4] , HIIT increases the resting metabolic rate (RMR) for the following 24 hours due to excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, and may improve maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) more effectively than doing only traditional, long aerobic workouts.[5][6][7][8] Long aerobic workouts have been promoted as the best method to reduce fat, as fatty acid utilization usually occurs after at least 30 minutes of training. HIIT is somewhat counter intuitive in this regard, but has nonetheless been shown to burn fat more effectively. There may be a number of factors that contribute to this, including an increase in RMR, and possibly other physiological effects.
>2. 5x5 programs are not fantastic for size. It is fantastic for building a nice strong base that you can work up from. No shit. It is fantastic for strength though, That is why it's called Starting Strength or Stronglifts. Pic related.
>3. Compound exercises are not good for size alone. A lot of isolation is best for building size fast, not neccessarily strength. Yes, this means curls. Again Starting Strength and Stronglifts is about strength, not size.
MOAR TO COME.
