    Low Max

    judejude I've always treated lower differently from uppers. I don't want my leg muscles getting too bulky so yes, I do PLB and then run the next day. I just ordered low max yesterday after reading these awesome post. Now I can do Low Max instead of always running as my cardio. So yes, I...

    Slow and Heavy compared to Gym-Style Workouts

    I have long thin arms and finally are getting them to look like little Popeye arms. I have been doing GS uppers putting a day of cardio (run) in every other day. This has been allowing my muscles time to grow. Originally I was doing a weight workout everyday..different areas but was...

    Workout with most ball work?

    I love the ball workout in PLB. I credit the ball work in that video to defining my hamstrings...nothing like it. ~Chrissy~

    Trouble areas of the body

    I agree. When you can see the muscle def of my abs it's because I have dieted and people start telling me I look too thin. I have two boys and one takes after his Dad (can bounce a quarter off his stomach) and the other is thin like myself but has a little jiggle on his belly. Ab work does...

    Does running burn off muscle?

    Monica Brant does cardio (running) 5X's per week and she maintains her muscle. I keep hearing diet is more than 50% of the magic formula and I believe it.
