Hi Chad,
I am very happy to hear that you have benefitted from Mike's work. His argument against aerobics is valid, but only within the context of building the greatest amount of muscle as quickly as possible. We as combat athletes have other necessities. We must be in good cardiovascular shape. What Heavy Duty does for me is to make my workouts very short, and get me into growth phase quickly. It is minimum wear on the body, which leaves me fresher to do all of my training. It works perfectly for those who want to pursue combative athletics. Since we wear out our bodies so much with our daily training, we must be absolutely sure not to overtrain with the weights. Thanks for the great question.
