Precision Nutrition Full Body Workout 3. Had a heart to heart with Coach Zach. He advised that if my goal is fat loss, then endurance running is counterproductive because it ends up stimulating appetite more than burning fat, though it does burn fat of course, just in balance, people like me end up packing on more kcal due to increased appetite, which of course, is my experience. He also said the Rippetoe strength workouts I've been doing are more geared toward building muscle and require additional nutrition to do properly and of course that goal is at odds with fat loss. So he advised choose one goal or the other, fat loss or build muscle, and then plan the training accordingly. So I chose . . . the blue pill. I mean, the red pill! Mr. Petersen. PN workouts are sort of like plyo, prisoner squats, one arm cable pulls (use bands), planks, etc. Not really a bad workout. The plan allows for recovery days, 3 per week, where I can run. So hopefully will maintain some sort of run fitness. bh

"you've been born into a prison, Neo . . . a prison that you cannot touch or taste . . . a prison built into your mind. . . . you take the blue pill, wake up and believe whatever you want . . . you take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the Rabbit Hole goes . . . remember, all that I'm offering you is . . . the Truth."
