"Doing more exercise with less intensity,"
Arthur Jones believes, "has all but
destroyed the actual great value
of weight training. Something
must be done . . . and quickly."
The New Bodybuilding for
Old-School Results supplies
MUCH of that "something."
This is one of 93 photos of Andy McCutcheon that are used in The New High-Intensity Training to illustrate the recommended exercises.

maybe a bit late to comment but anyways: well done!
It seems you lost most of your fat from visceral sources (which seems to be a good thing if we trust medicine).
I always wonder how it is determinated where you store your fat (visceral vs. subcutaneos). Sure, genetics, but solely genetics?
I hear that regular beer drinkers tend to visceral (not to say that you're a drinker!). I also noticed that naturally "buff" guys tend to this more then tall and lanky guys (like myself) in general.
And if you see the later with more visceral fat they're almost always over 35 (at least) and have bad nutritional habbits, including too much beer/alcohol. So, at least from anecdotal evidence it seems we can influent this to some extend.
Well, sorry for getting too much off-topic here, just one question that rose in me when watching random people (and some friends) and seeing some medical reports on tv.
Hi HIT,
Yes, I am still lean. Truth be told I have gained a feww pounds back but not much. In fact I am now heading toward 180lbs. I started last Monday. I am shooting to be there by end of July. I still am wearing a 32" pant size which is my indicator of how I am doing. Thanks for asking though and keep training hard. Jeff

Hi Franco, seems to make sense to me! I have noticed as we all have that as we age we do seem to add a lot of fat underneath the muscle in the abdominal area. My Dad has a small gut but very little fat that you can pinch. Seems most is deeper around organs. His stomach is as hard as a rock. Interesting. Jeff

Isn't it neat to keep the weight off?
I was 245 (having topped out at 265), finally started really losing weight, got to 189 for a couple of years and have started to drift down a bit (I'm in the 170s now).
I am curious about your nutritional advice. On this and many other threads you have clearly advocated a higher carb diet. In line with that you have indicated that the carb sources should be from low GI sources.
What I am still curious about though relates to starchy vs non-starchy sources.
Other publications advocate that certain people have metabolisms that do not metabolise carbs from starchy sources well and hence have insulin releases that increase hunger/craving and encourage gorging. For these types of people, non-starchy carb sources are advocated (especially through cruciferous vegetables).
What is your advice with respect to such concepts? Do you concur provided that the carb-protein-fat proportions are maintained or rather that there is still a need for carbs to come from starchy sources (including grains, potatoes, pasta etc).
It is correct that some people have problems with certain carbohydrates. If you feel that such nutritional guidelines are appropriate for you, then give them a try.
