Interesting Article here regaring the different trends over the years in weight training principles.

Bringing the Pendulum Back to Center

Which way do you swing? I am finding the more I learn, the more I actually swing to center.

*please - no 'swinging' jokes Arthur/Fatboy!

Yes very good.

Tells me that I am right in what i do.

Always amazes me that everyone says do this, do that and don't do cardio yet i shifted 34 lbs in 14 weeks and did weights and cardio... but everyone ignores that fatc.

Also the benefit of weights and running is that I am fit with weights and I can run... a lot of guys in the gym would die if asked to run half a mile! And that is fit?

He says at the bottom:

“Methods are many,
Principles are few,
Methods may change,
But principles never do”

and the principles of physiology and nutrition haven't changed in thousands of years either.

Maybe we are just too ready to follow the latest fad - we are convinced by clever marketing that we need the latest gadget, mobile phone, flat screen TV, exercise routine, nutrition supplement, fashion statement, but in reality we need none of them

I remember seeing a video of one a guy with one hell of a physique. He said on loosing weight "forget counting cals, forget sets and reps and cardio, put all that to one side, if you train consistently, eat things like oats, eggs, lean meats, fruit and veg, I don't care who you are you will eventually get to 10% bodyfat, it's then that the hard work starts"

Some truth in that. I certainly lack consistency because I am a little retarded.
