    Knee and Groin, were the main Problems, plus sore Achilles. We did a lot of Hit Training on the Verti Run.

    just watched a video of the verti run, seemed like a high-intensity form of joint mobility training.

    Too much weights and too much running? Agreed. Everything other than sport specific training (cross training) should be moderate and tuned to fit each individual's needs.

    It is, without impact, plus it makes the Cardio System work 35% more efficient, and stops impact to the Spine and Head. While producing Better quality work.

    This is bull****.

    Only thing that will make you lose muscle is poor nutrition mixed in with overtraining.

    The fact that he is laying down - while doing the workout - is the part that increases the cardiovascular system by 35%?

    Correct, plus by laying down, it opens the Diaphragm, interestingly, on HIT you can Half the recovery Time by Half, depending what the protocol is. Plus for Cor stability, theres nothing like it. ooohH :D

    you have a good point there actually
    but i know a few competing bodybuilders-pro strongman and all of them
    say that once your heatbeat goes over a 130 bmp?
    you start buring muscle and not just fat.....

    i mean they all still run to some degree but perfer the op ital
    becaUSE of the above reason

    The fat burning zone you're referring to is bull****.

    Ask them to explain why they think their body will start burning muscle once they get over 130bpm, I bet they won't be able to give you any kind of scientific explanation, just a "well this guy told me" response.

    It's not about your heart rate, it's about the resources your body has available. Food in the stomach, glycogen stores, fat, muscle it can all be used to fuel your body. As I stated above; muscle is a last resort. If you want proof it has nothing to do with heart rate, go look at somebody suffering from anorexia.

    Something of interest I hope. I found too too much Eccentric Loading Restrictive, in development of Muscle Strength, and endurance.

    How do you define 'too much'? Too much of anything is detrimental, eccentric loading is the most important thing when increasing strength and power, and preventing injury. The more eccentric loading you do the more recovery you need, that's well established.
