It's great to hear that you helped someone else see results. For the last 3 years I've been shifting the lifting portion of my training toward more compound lifts, more heavy weights--much like what you recommend. Too, my cycling has gone more toward incorporating intense efforts rather than always just doing the same old Long Steady ride. And I've done a lot more to plan my training rather than just be haphazard about working out when and if I feel like it. Making each workout count for something specific goes a long way toward keeping you on task. I'm in better shape now than I ever have been and I'd say those things have been the biggest contributors. Here's hoping that '08 continues this trend for everyone who's been working hard at it. It definitely works--lift for athleticism and train with some intensity. Results will come. You get worlds more out of a deadlift than out of a tricep extension. Both physically and mentally. Keep up the good work. Excellent! It’s great to hear that you helped someone else see results.
