RP – Anytime balance is involved, you multiply the difficulty, so using half the weight is to be expected. It forces you to go slowly and use good form, otherwise, you fall over.

I’m doing all of my single leg work on the platform side of a Bosu now….ups the ante even more! haha!

Whats the tip with the one legged exercises? It’s hard to get a good arm workout because I have to lighten the weights to balance. Is it best just to go as slow as possible and then balance comes? Also lock knees or keep ‘em bent (I’m keeping it slightly bent hoping that works more muscles). Thanks for the workout.

Sky – I’m going to assume that you are talking about P90X. I’m not one to recommend cutting cardio out, simply because your body NEEDS cardio and flexibility training just as much as it needs resistance training. That being said, on your resistance days I would suggest lifting in the 6-8 rep range, and keep the form strict. In order to get big, you need to lift big and eat big – that means adding calories to your diet. You need to keep the sources clean, and I would suggest eating 300-500 calories more than your caloric maintenance level. This way you’ll add bulk at a slower rate and be less likely of adding fat (just make SURE that you keep your food sources clean!)

Mar’tay – I’ve moved most of my social interaction to Facebook and this website. A majority of the people that used to be on the message boards have done the same, and the interfaces are much more user-friendly than the current message boards. I still post on the boards every once in a great while, but for the most part, its Facebook.

Great hearing from you again Brother!

hey Mark/gang! Long time no hear Mr. Briggsy!! I just found this site and am reading this. Dude, you should cut n paste this blog of yours to beachbody message boards and /or link it to other places on the net you go too.

This could help and motivate others to either go see a doc if they got an ailment not healing and/or not give up and DO SOMETHING!

How goes it in copland and once again, I am so very sorry to have heard about your dad (on your twitter)

all the best from chicagoland,

Mar’tay
