Hi Sifu Richardson,

As it was your intitial article on Mr. Mentzer in '97 (?) that introduced me to Heavy Duty, I owe you a thank-you.

My question is, since Mike reccomended the removal of aerobic activity to increase muscular gain and maximize recovery, did you alter your personal training? His statements that aerobic activity created a deeper in-road to the body's ability to rebuild itself makes a lot of sense. Albeit most MA's probably train for strength and not size (as I do), there has to be a trade off at some point. Would you reccommend that an individual continue all necessary (as is necessary to them) training i.e. running, sparring, etc and use Heavy Duty as a supplement/addition to their program?

Thank you,

Chad Power
