i think doing a workout geared at loosing fat is a bad idea. IMO, fat burning should be left to cardio and diet. weight training should be hard, heavy, and controlled.

[NewbieChris]

I'm somewhat apprehensive about that as well, but I'm only going to do this for 6 weeks. It supposed to be very hard, so we'll see what happens. If it ends up being a flop, I'll go back to a heavier routine.

[THE BOUNCER]

sounds fair. its all about experimenting.

[NewbieChris]

Well, I'll say this. It wasn't easy. I don't know how I feel about it yet, but it wasn't easy. It was an interesting first day. I'll keep you posted.
