  • Guys, I told you before, the code word is TONED. Not muscle, not bulk, TONED. Nice try. Toned = Jennifer Anniston. We're talking strength training here. I'm just back from my doing my 360 pound leg presses. Lifting heavy at least has the advantage of being quicker and leaving more time for core work. Perhaps the cardio burns off some of the bulk you might get anyway? I don't know about SVDL as the role model either, frankly. Her workouts don't represent what most elite masters do; she's just extraordinarily talented. Most are working out way more than 3x a week to achieve their results. I think Chris Stevenson is more typical. Plus, I would be unhappy only working out 3x a week. I can do "less is more" in the pool, but 4 days of sitting around doing nothing? No thanks. Don't want to sacrifice fitness and I like cross training.
