Yeah, that wouldn't work too good :) It's not really fitting the bill of minimal overlap or opposing exercises. Bulgarians, depending on the stride can be heavily centered in the glutes and hams. The idea is not to obliterate the muscles involved. It's about fatigue management. When you get into the heavy lower body compounds you'd pretty much need to pair them with upper body stuff in this context.

Anuj, I love the way you hand out links to articles you haven't read all the way through. This is one of my biggest problems with people in general. They won't READ. They embark on programs they don't understand because they can't take the time to THOROUGHLY read through all the material provided. They end up dong a bunch of crazy shit or completely inappropriate stuff.
People ask where I get my knowledge. Well, reading is part of it :D. At no time does Stahley say rest periods under one minute or no rest or anything of the sort. As a matter of fact he pointedly says that there are NO rules as to how to partition the workload and rest periods. He gives some general ideas as to how most people will end up doing it but that is it. You are not likely to use very long rest periods but you are allowed basically to do what it takes to get the job done. In some cases taking the rest you need when you need it can mean more work getting done, not less. You have 15 minutes...if you focus on very short rest periods then that could simply mean you burn out early and thus sacrifise a lot of potential reps. Sermon over :) |
i didnt read any of the links actually. i was going through a friend's journal that day and i stumbled upon all this information. so i decided to use it. i just browsed through some of the articles more to understand pairing up of exercises/bodyparts instead of fundamental stuff like rest intervals. ah well, im sorry, sir.
