This sounds like a bunch of gobbly goop that basically means "you don't need to know all of this and we can't explain it in a way you'll understance, but you should just 'trust' us and follow our nutrition plans."<br /><br />~Bubba<br /><br />ps: I do trust you, but this whole post seemed a little weird.<br /><br />pps: It's 10:36.

I have to read up more on HR as a measuring stick. <br /><br />One line I can't wait to cross is getting a leg off my arm in the Crane position. Over the span of a few weeks I've gone from hitting the deck the split second my right leg lifts off to almost getting 1 full second of hang-time. I love the fact that X2 has exercises it will take months to master.Matt G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03487295570583427100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-77921640227445936142012-06-28T13:26:52.765-06:002012-06-28T13:26:52.765-06:00Thanks Steve.

Any thoughts...Thanks Steve. I'll do just that.<br /><br />Any thoughts on metrics for improved performance for those of us that aren't actively training for timed events (nor have access to P3 measurement tools)? I've been through Insanity & Phase 1 and 2 of X2 and my weekly basketball game and peeks at the mirror don't really tell me all I want to know. <br /><br />You mentioned morning HR above; I'll take a look at that. Once in a while I'll run a ladder of sprints (100, 200, 300) hoping that those times will improve.Matt G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03487295570583427100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-962433721189149332012-06-28T12:14:43.258-06:002012-06-28T12:14:43.258-06:00It's mainly text book info. I've got books...It's mainly text book info. I've got books here from ACSM, ISSA, NASM that all talk about these processes. Good coaching books evaluate these things too, since they are essential to understand for athletic performance. There's a ton of nutrition info. Perhaps the lay book Nutrient Timing explains it most simply. Google can be your friend as you'll find all sort of levels of explanation of these processes, from the lay world at T-Nation and Bodybuilding.com to medical journals and everything in between. For studies, the last-line of wading through muck, the Pub Med database contains most published studies on everything. You only get the abstracts unless you pay but when you find an interesting study you can usually track it down and, most likely, it will have lay articles evaluating it.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-39921991430306120382012-06-28T11:52:14.010-06:002012-06-28T11:52:14.010-06:00Steve - Fantastic post.

I have definitely noticed that x2 does not induce the same sweat as x1 but I place my trust in the program based on your efforts to inform us through this blog.<br /><br />Can you take it a step further and point to research studies on the topics so we can dig even deeper into the science?Matt G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03487295570583427100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-89390220248313438822012-06-28T10:27:01.190-06:002012-06-28T10:27:01.190-06:00and a HUGE thank you sir! exactly why I read you a...and a HUGE thank you sir! exactly why I read you and Denis since I found your blogs over a year ago.
