Right, which is why only a once or twice weekly workout is needed using this method.

The 30-30-30 cadence is explained in great detail in Darden's latest book called The Bodyfat Breakthrough. It's his method of negative-accentuated high-intensity training which was derived from him working directly with Arthur Jones for over three decades. Specifically, the technique is geared...

Yeah, it's so hard to continue losing while also having to eat out. Congrats man, and keep it up!

Standard split routine sometimes, but mostly whole body, and with generic "set to failure" intensity meaning that I stop a set when I can't push the weight in the positive direction one more time. I define high intensity as a whole-body workout using negative-accentuated training techniques...

And the other big change has been focusing not so much on building more muscle, but on fat loss through dieting.

I am 5' 10" and I weigh 181lbs. The biggest change to my training this year has been less frequency but with higher intensity when I do train. So instead of 4 - 5 times per week, I may only do once or twice a week, but it's a barn burner of a workout.

I was doing good for the first 4 weeks, strength was either the same or increasing slightly, but then last week I went into the workout knowing that I needed to, but not necessarily feeling like it... probably because I was already tired from the manual construction labor I was doing, and the...

Don't be scared of failing because that's what causes you to become a better version of yourself over time. Look at the whole situation like it's a win-win for yourself. If you try and you succeed you'll feel accomplished, and if you try and fail, you'll learn and grow. The thing you want to...

Once a week feels pretty good as long as it's done in the Jones/Darden HIT style, which is what I've been doing. But I do feel that by the time that 6th day of not working out comes around, I'm feeling pretty weak and flat. Again, that could be because of this diet and also due to the fact that...

I started back on the once-per-week about 5 weeks ago. I don't notice a huge difference in body composition but there's definitely some reduction in muscle mass, but that could also be because I've been dieting so it's hard to say. That's the problem with all this. Going by feeling and what...

I cut my workout volume back to once a week because I've been doing a lot of work around the house. I had a water pipe burst in the room above my home gym a while back and it pretty much destroyed a lot of the drywall in my gym. So I redid the ceiling last week in wood. Here's the before: And...

That's what the process of losing weight is. No matter what strategy a person chooses to lose weight, they are going to feel hungry often so it's not going to be a comfortable process. If you want to lose weight, then you must get used to the feeling of being hungry. That's the bottom line...

When I did it, I found the first two weeks to be pure torture. Retraining your body's eating schedule is a lot harder than what it sounds. Your stomach will definitely be growling quite a bit as you get acclimated to the new setup.

The "eat whatever you want and however much you want" is misleading because people think they will be able to just stuff themselves during that 8-hour window and be fine for the next 16 hours. But it doesn't work like that. If a person does decide to have a really big first meal, what ends up...

Generally speaking, the restricted time window is the main constraint with intermittent fasting, so you can eat whatever you want and in whatever quantity in that 8-hour window. It sounds easy in theory, but trust me, when you wake up at 7AM and you realize that you can't eat for another 5...

Eat whatever you want but only eat during a limited part of the day. Using this principle, obese individuals can lose weight with relatively little effort. Nutritional scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago report this in Nutrition and Healthy Aging. Study The researchers...

It didn't do much for my testosterone, but for some reason it made me want to lick the palms of my hands. :D
